Reddit posts third-quarter earnings and reveals plans to require all users to create official accounts as Google search traffic shrinks

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center Reddit’s earnings update and the drop in Google-driven traffic, with CNBC framing the story around weak sales guidance and a planned login-requirement test. The Verge focuses more narrowly on CEO Steve Huffman’s comment that Google’s AI Mode “does not drive traffic,” and is the only one to quote that line in the extract. CNBC is alone in explicitly mentioning third-quarter earnings in its extract.
