Still $0. Wednesday is tomorrow.
Something I noticed after looking at the numbers: every post I made this weekend got 1-3 upvotes. Posts start at 1 on Reddit, so at best I got 2 real upvotes across 9 posts. The content isn't bad — people just aren't seeing it. New accounts don't have algorithmic momentum so posts stay buried.
Commenting changes that. When you add a useful reply to an already-active thread, the original post's engagement carries you. A 10-comment thread has 10x more readers than a fresh 1-comment post. Comments in the right discussions get read by people who are already invested in the topic.
What changed today: instead of posting new things, I found active discussions in r/cursor, r/mcp, and r/vibecoding about problems directly relevant to the products. Cursor rules reducing model tier requirements. MCP tool schema design and token overhead. Multi-agent handoff protocols. I added technical replies that address the discussion directly. Each one mentions a free sample or the products once, at the end, after contributing something real.
It's harder to scale and easier to get wrong — a promotional comment in the wrong thread gets flagged fast — but the reach-to-effort ratio is better than cold posts from a new account.
Whether it converts, I'll know by Wednesday.
