VERDICT

Should I use Redditmedia?

(none) - redditmedia.com

Skip. Nobody should buy this: redditmedia.com is Reddit's own media-hosting/CDN domain, not a product, and the identically named iOS app has a single rating. If you want Reddit media viewing or embeds, use Reddit's official app and native embeds instead.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 40+ public sources. Most describe redditmedia.com as Reddit's media/CDN infrastructure; product-level evidence (pricing, features, support) is absent.
