Just to follow up on this - Conde Nast's parent company, Advance Publications, still owns a majority stake in Reddit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_Publications). Apparently they also own the Discovery Channel and Lycos.
This is true, but it would be like trying to correct someone and saying "No AirBnB didn't by Company X, Greylock did!"
