How much is it worth for the power to push an agenda onto 850,000,000 people?

Subjective. To whom? That’s the big question. When valuing a company, logically you look at the books. If the books say they cannot survive without continuous investment, they’re not a good financial investment.

You cannot measure the value of Reddit having a lot of users who could, in theory, leave at any moment. It’s not something that can have a value. Therefore it’s made up.
