Reddit Rolls Out Official Labels for Profiles
Reddit has started testing an Official label for profiles. This label will appear next to the usernames of profiles that have authenticated their identity with Reddit. The label is intended to help users quickly identify organizations and provide transparency. Currently, only profiles that are part of organizations with which Reddit has existing relationships are included in the test.
Reddit is following in the footsteps of X, Meta, LinkedIn, and even Gmail, all of which have rolled out verification indicators to combat impersonation and increase transparency across their user bases. As Reddit is looking to generate revenue, it’s possible that it may decide to monetize the verification process in the future.
