Reddit may be looking to go public in 2024.
Bloomberg reports that Reddit is “holding talks with potential investors” about an IPO that could take place as early as the first quarter of next year.
The company filed a confidential S-1 with the SEC in late 2021 but hasn’t actually gone public yet. When I asked CEO Steve Huffman in June of this year about an IPO, he said that “it’s something we’d like to do someday.”

Microsoft is ending support for its Microsoft 365 browser extension.
The extension, available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, essentially serves as a series of shortcuts for accessing Microsoft 365 apps, documents, and files. It’s also seemingly quite popular: the extension has more than 6 million users on Chrome and more than 4 million users on Edge.
Microsoft will retire the extension on January 15th, 2024, according to a support document. I’ve asked Microsoft if it can detail more about the decision.

Epic is mostly reverting its choice to age-gate certain Fortnite outfits... for now.
Earlier this month, Epic Games started blocking some outfits in Fortnite experiences made for kids, but the company is temporarily walking back many of those blocks after criticism from players.
At the moment, “less than ten” outfits will only be available in experiences rated Teen “because of their obvious fear or violence elements,” Epic says. A bigger change for age-gated outfits will be implemented starting with the game’s v28.00 update that launches on December 3rd — one day after the forthcoming “Big Bang” event.
