Devin M., Apart from actual people, actually discussing actual topics of interest, I've seen four tactics play out in recent months:
- 1.
Marketers pretending not to be marketers, opening with a problem and then subtly mentioning their product as a solution. They get banned pretty quickly.
- 2.
Founders pitching and asking for "feedback".
- 3.
Community managers engaging in threads with passion and a commitment to being helpful, with low (but not insignificant) conversions through a link in bio.
- 4.
Brands building branded subreddits, posting announcements and starting discussions.
I'm currently only monitoring threads that contain discussions and sentiment/intent that might be of interest to my company. Haven't had time to actually engage yet.
