I was a bit surprised to hear advertising for "reddit the site" towards a younger audience.. but there was plenty of it during the recent counter-strike major league event in London. Many times throughout the programme they "organically" discussed how everyone wants to be at the top of reddit, how it is the place you wanna be, etc. They obviously took money for it. I'd link videos, but the faceittv twitch channel is subscribers only. I would not be surprised if they are marketing in similar ways for other e-sports.
Aside, but another counter-strike event (eleague iirc) recently had an actual uniformed army officer handing out trophy to the winners. That I found truly distasteful.
That said, my bet for reddit is also on stagnation.
