  One of the best ways to find real customer problems, fears, frustrations, and everyday situations is to read Reddit threads and Amazon reviews. I found this Reddit comment. It describes a very specific problem and, more importantly, a specific situation the customer experiences in real life. Booom. Instead of inventing an angle from scratch, I turned that exact insight into an ad concept and wrote the copy around it.

  Jin Otto (@threadotter) reported 21 minutes ago

  Somewhere on Reddit right now, someone is asking for exactly what you sell. Not "might be interested." Asking. "What are people using for X?" "Is there a tool that does Y?" No other channel hands founders that: a buying signal with a timestamp, an author, and a comment box under it. Cold email guesses at intent. Ads interrupt. SEO waits months. On Reddit, the buyer starts the conversation. Which makes the strange part stranger: almost every founder who tries Reddit quits inside a month. Removed post, sometimes a banned account, same conclusion every time: "Reddit hates marketers." They're half right. And the half they're wrong about is the entire opportunity. The case for giving up is real, so let's make it properly. Reddit is the most aggressively moderated major platform on the internet. Three separate layers can kill your comment: AutoModerator rules (instant, mechanical), the sitewide spam filter (invisible, judging your account more than your words), and human moderators who clean up after dozens of founders every week. Removals are frequently silent: your comment looks live to you and is invisible to everyone else. You can market into a void for weeks without knowing. So yes: if your plan is "post my product in ten subreddits," Reddit will shred you. Honestly, it should. That plan is spam with founder branding. Here's what the founders who quit don't see: every mechanism that shredded them is the reason the channel still works. The moderation is WHY buyers trust what they read there. People append "reddit" to their searches because shilling gets removed and what survives is real. When a founder answers a question well, discloses who they are, and the comment stands, that survival is itself a signal: the community let it stand. And because most founders bounce off, the ones who learn the rules compete with almost nobody. Anyone can send cold email, so inboxes are ruined. Anyone can buy ads, so auctions are expensive. Reddit's difficulty filters out your competition for you. Why do founders specifically fail? Three mismatched assumptions: 1. They treat a community channel like a broadcast channel. Launch-day energy, post everywhere, link everything. That's the exact pattern every filter is tuned to catch. Reddit rewards residents and removes tourists. 2. They start selling before the account can survive selling. The filters weigh WHO is speaking: account age, karma, history in that community. A thoughtful comment from a 3-day-old account gets removed where the same words from a seasoned account would stand. Founders read that as censorship. It's actually a solvable onboarding problem. 3. They measure the wrong thing and quit at the trough. Reddit compounds slowly, then suddenly: weeks of quiet contribution, then one surviving answer in the right thread pulls signups for months, because threads rank in Google long after the conversation dies. Founders measuring day-7 signups walk away just as the compounding begins. None of the fix requires tricks, burner accounts, or gray-hat anything. The whole playbook: be genuinely useful, in the right rooms, at a human pace, from an account that has earned the right to speak. The craft is knowing what each of those words means mechanically. We just wrote the full 8-part playbook on it: bans, account seasoning, subreddit rules (we profiled 2,000+ communities; only 5% clearly allow self-promotion), the reply that survives, pacing, listening, and the funnel from comment to customer. Publishing it all this month. Follow along if Reddit is where your buyers are.

  Turn your ads off tomorrow and see what's left standing. For most businesses the answer is nothing. Zero leads by Friday. That's the rule I run every company by now. Rent attention or own it. Instant marketing is rent. The day you stop paying, you're evicted. A Meta ad dies the second the budget does. A YouTube video I made six years ago still books calls for us. Same effort, wildly different math. Permanent assets: 1. YouTube videos answering the questions buyers actually search 2. Blog articles that rank and sit there 3. Reddit and forum answers people find for years 4. Pinterest pins, which nobody takes seriously and should 5. Your own website with real depth on it, not five pages Here's the part that stings. Permanent marketing feels slow. Week one you get nothing. So the owner panics and goes back to buying leads, because instant gives you a dopamine hit today. I did the same thing for years, honestly. Ads are measurable, so I hid there. But Google told us buyers do 7 hours of research before purchasing. If those 7 hours don't exist on your channels, they happen on your competitor's. Every ad is an expense. Every asset is an employee that works nights, weekends, and never asks for a raise. Run ads if you want. I still do. But every month, build one thing that outlives the invoice.

  Value investors have a habit of sucking their thumb through the best years of a capital-light compounder's life. The business earns absurd returns on the capital it employs, needs almost nothing incremental to grow, as a result grows very fast, and trades at a multiple that seems pricey, so you wait for an entry point that respects your process. In the meantime, the company grows 20-40% a year for the better part of a decade and grows into the number you refused to pay, and when you finally pull up the chart with hindsight you discover that the stock was cheap for the entire period you were being "disciplined" about it. Then comes the cruel part. The multiple often only compresses to a level your framework will approve of once the growth that justified it has gone, so the moment the screen finally surfaces the name tends to be the moment the thing you wanted to own has stopped being that thing. The Trade Desk $TTD might be a textbook specimen. Quarterly revenue growth peaked at 27–28% in 2024 and has stepped down in almost every quarter since: 22, 25, 19, 18, 14, 12, and now 3% in the June quarter. Q3 is guided to a double-digit decline (approx. 12%). My friend Andrew Letendre put the competitive read on it bluntly the other day: "Meta is THE advertising company now, I don't see the point of looking for 'the next $Meta' or anything like that... when Meta rolled out their full AI prompt to Ad campaign product, I remember saying to myself 'TTD is done'". I have no view on the name and no position, and if you want to actually understand what is happening inside the business rather than admire the shape of the curve, watch @UnrivaledInvest's video on it or read what @stwboerse has published. What interests me is the pattern. The valuation has never looked more reasonable than it does today, and the business has never looked less like the one that earned the premium. A friend recently framed this well when we went back and forth on it last week via DMs. His argument is that technology can at times be a massive momentum and growth game, that quality growth investors overpay knowingly because they understand they will not be shareholders forever, and that quality value as a style has done far better in industrials, pharmaceuticals and consumer than it ever has in tech. Interesting perspective. In software and platforms, a low multiple is far more often a piece of information about the business than an opportunity created by the market. Which brings me to the distinction that decides everything, and that I plan to write about separately under the heading of a “lost HALF decade” framework. There is a version of this setup you want to own with both hands: an excellent business, unloved, five years of nothing in the share price, growth interrupted by a problem that is painful and temporary BUT fixable. Meta in late 2022 was that – FCF went negative during one quarter, the business was under attack from various fronts. And there is a version that eats you: the same optical cheapness, the same multi-year drawdown, and a slowdown that is structural because someone larger has taken the value chain or there is serious disruption taking place. From the outside, these two look almost identical, and the entire job of the analyst is to tell them apart before the market does. Consider Reddit right now. The first sequential decline in US daily actives showed up in Q2. Either that is a ceiling, in which case the 100 million US DAU north star was a story, or it is a fixable consequence of algorithm changes and search dependency, in which case the ambition survives, and the current disappointment is the setup.

  SEO's whole framework is simple. Technical, on-page, off-page — all of it in one thread. If you genuinely understand this, you're already ahead of most people doing SEO. Canonical: self-referencing by default. Point it at whatever page you want to rank. Google claims it sometimes ignores canonicals. In practice, set them and they're respected. In topic clusters, point supporting pages' canonicals at the hub. Concentrate the signal. Hreflang isn't about duplicate-content penalties. There are none. What it prevents is cannibalization: identical pages chasing identical keywords — and none of them ranking. Speed is per page, not per site. Every builder element — text block, empty container, carousel — slows the page. Plugins aren't the problem. Render-blocking and conflicts are. Load async and move on. Google doesn't care how many 404s you have. Zero impact. 404 vs 410: 410 deindexes faster, but it burns the slug — and exact-match URLs still carry relevance value. Pruning triggers a site-level reassessment on its own cycle anyway. Against that cycle, they're the same. I've used plenty of 410s. Now I just 404. 301 is a merge. Only worth it when the merged page brings real links and traffic. Most 301 situations are duplicate content that nothing links to. Usually: just 404. On-page: exact-match slug. Exact-match H1. H2/H3 = variants of the main keyword. That's relevance done. The rest is authority — and authority only comes after rankings and traffic. Real traffic, not a trickle. Internal links don't split evenly. What matters: the source page's traffic, relevance, rankings. And keep the count low. A page with strength 2 and two outlinks passes ~1 through each. AI extracts content paragraph by paragraph — passage indexing all over again. Everything under an H2 must fully answer that H2, so the passage stands alone. And make your brand the subject of the sentence. Not "we". Not "I". AI lifts whole sentences. If the subject is your brand, every extraction carries your brand. That's a contribution. Same rule off-site. Product schema lifts CTR, and price fields get picked into AI results more easily. Organization schema's sameAs/about = a warehouse: products, socials, markets, contacts in one place. Basic brand entity work. Topic authority, plainly: the more pages, topics, and intents you rank within a topic, the stronger you are. Hub page + articles covering every block — each one ranked. Not written at random. Content is the big move. Pull enough traffic curves: pure product and category pages almost never rise fast without outside force. Articles have a fast lane. "SEO isn't just writing articles" — true. But articles are the most important early move. A detail from a ranking site: keyword variants written into code, machine-only — which is hidden text, blackhat. Then the same variants listed in small print, visible to users. Machine sees it, user sees it. No violation. Not a recommendation. Just how far people go on details. Off-page, first rule: DR, AS, every authority score — ignore them all. Useless. Press releases buy presence, not rankings. More places, louder signal, deeper brand impression. Cheap = fewer outlets, expensive = Yahoo Finance tier. Simple: money does it. Backlinks you can buy today do basically nothing, however expensive. Truly vertical, relevant links matter — and are almost never for sale. Outreach, skyscraper, guest posts: near-zero success rates. Don't sink your time there. Programmatic SEO only works with unique data or real entities behind it. KFC, Apple — real stores, real addresses, real phone numbers. Without unique data, it's mass content abuse. Spam. The other valid shape: local. "SEO agency New York." Plumbers. Trades. Modern SEO is mostly won off-site. SEO everywhere. Your site is fuel — articles, products, tools. Ignition is traffic: your own rankings, plus social. Pick one or two platforms you're actually good at. Video → YouTube. Images → Pinterest. Writing → LinkedIn, X, Reddit. Don't try to do them all. The framework is simple. Doing it isn't. Patience, care, execution, constant testing. Judgment is trained by doing. There is no SOP — different site, stage, market: different calls. That's all of SEO.

  Just incorporated my 3rd company in 2 years!! First one was a complete flop and I shut it down quickly lol. I had a lot to learn so I worked with as many founders as I could this past year. This past April, I incorporated a new company and it’s doing well? It’s a healthcare SaaS for acupuncturists(Dx-Chart). Tough market. Good news, I have my first school partnership and investor in the works. It’s STILL in beta and free. Will put up a paywall once users’ top requests (scheduling and patient intake) are up. This new one I just launched is for a consumer app I’ve been building in stealth. I validated idea already and have been carefully building a GTM strategy (reddit -> organic social -> ugc ->ads) I’m not afraid to say that I haven’t made my first internet dollar yet. This is just the part nobody wants to talk about, but I will cuz this is part of the journey. Some people make it early, others late. But I WILL build a company that generates a six figures income if it’s the last thing I do!

  The company that built its reputation around privacy, transparency, and criticizing Big Tech for practices users don't trust was just caught hiding the truth from its users. Proton appears to have been A/B testing its VPN prices. For anyone unfamiliar with A/B testing, it's basically when a company shows different versions of a website to different people to see which one performs better. In Proton's case, it appears the experiment involved the price itself. One session showed $2.77/month. Another showed $3.23/month. Proton's own website source contained an "ab-test" tag that assigned visitors to different variants, with one variant being served from a separate pricing URL. That's a pretty big deal because Proton's VPN General Manager had previously told Reddit users that the different prices were caused by a sale that hadn't "universally refreshed." If the website was actually running a pricing experiment, that explanation doesn't exactly line up with what the source code showed. And this is where dynamic pricing becomes a problem. Most people don't want to see different prices for the exact same product simply because they happened to visit at a different time or were placed into a different test group. A/B testing buttons, layouts or headlines? Fine. A/B testing how much people pay for the same subscription? That's different. And Proton should know this better than most. The company has spent years criticizing Big Tech for practices that users don't trust. So when something similar happens on your own platform, you can't just expect people to look the other way. The $0.46 difference isn't even the biggest issue. It's the trust. If Proton wasn't completely truthful about something as simple as how these prices were being served, users are naturally going to wonder: What else haven't we been told? And when you're asking people to trust you with their private emails, passwords, files and internet traffic, that's a serious question. Privacy companies don't get to say "everyone else does it." Trust is the product.

  Saw a few things this weekend. Platforms are starting to clamp down on AI slop. LinkedIn now has a “Seems like AI slop” button. Substack lets readers scan for AI text. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Reddit are all tightening detection. Good. AI made content cheap. Now the market is pricing authenticity again. The advantage was never using AI. It was having something worth saying.
