Creating something is a special feeling for any person in the world. Watching the creation reach immeasurable heights of success is another feeling altogether. Alexis Ohanian, husband of Serena Williams and co-founder of Reddit, recently experienced a special moment where he saw his creation reach heights he could never have imagined on a family movie night.
This is not the first time Ohanian has felt joy when he saw Reddit in the media. The entrepreneur always hoped that his creation would be mentioned in one of the historic animated shows, and he was not disappointed. Now, he watches other projects pick up the name of Reddit.

With the picture, he wrote the caption, “Family movie night with The Mitchells vs The Machines and this movie was so much fun — I loved it before the @reddit cameo, but seeing my college creation on the home screen of a sinister AI hell-bent on eliminating humanity was pretty special 🤪“.

The Simpsons was one show that was followed by millions ever since it came into existence in 1989. Ohanian also followed the show as it had become a part of the mainstream media and always hoped that his creation would make it into the show. His wish came true with a resounding success as Homer Simpson mentions that he practically lives on Reddit as he is talking to Marge in an alternate scenario where they never dated.
