Reddit to Launch Original Video, Including an AMA Series — but no Cats, yet

In the never-ending search for Internet virality, Reddit has long been known as the best place to see the day's top cat GIFs or viral videos. Now the site has hired a team to make original videos of its own — cats not yet included. The news site, known as the "front page of the internet," has hired two video producers from The Verge to launch an internal video division that will create original content based on stories and topics that originate on the site. The new project was announced by Reddit cofounder and executive chairman Alexis Ohanian at TechCrunch's Disrupt conference and first reported by the Verge, which is losing two of its video people to Reddit and cheerfully touted the news with the tag "incredible hombres."
