"Most people waste time on popular threads. Including me, for the first month. A post with 200 comments means you're competing with 199 other people for attention. The original poster probably stopped reading after the first 20 replies. Your brilliant, helpful comment sits at the bottom where nobody scrolls. The strategy these founders mentioned: focus on threads with under 10 comments. Less competition. Your reply actually gets seen. The person who asked the question might actually respond."
"Started by doing this manually. Spent about 90 minutes daily just finding decent threads. Opened each subreddit, sorted by new, scrolled through looking for low-comment posts, checked if they were relevant. Commented on maybe 15-20 threads per week. All focused on threads under 10 comments in niche subreddits. Results: The strategy worked. People were actually seeing my comments. But the manual search process was killing me. 90 minutes of scrolling before I could even start engaging. Not sustainable."
Reddit can be an effective acquisition channel when engagement focuses on low-comment threads. Targeting posts with under ten comments reduces competition and increases the chance that replies are seen and receive responses. Manually finding suitable threads is time-consuming, often requiring about 90 minutes daily to sort subreddits and identify relevant posts. Using filtering tools that aggregate posts and sort by comment count cuts search time substantially, enabling scaled, consistent commenting across niche subreddits. Consistent engagement on lower-competition threads produces visible engagement and potential direct responses from posters.
