The people whose recommendations actually move a purchase are rarely the ones with the biggest followings. On Reddit they are the regulars whose comment sits at the top of every recommendation thread in a niche subreddit, and whose opinion gets quoted back by everyone else. For startups it is high-leverage, because startups need product-market fit fast, and reddit is the cheapest unfiltered feedback available.
The Startups audience is active in 7 subreddits. OpenScout turns those into influencer discovery you can act on: every matching thread scored, the good ones surfaced, the reply drafted.
Nearly 30% of the sources Google and AI cite for buyer questions are Reddit threads, more than every other community site combined. So a thread you are named in keeps working long after it drops off the front page, which is what separates Reddit from posting on a feed.
OpenScout also writes original posts for these communities, because replying only reaches threads that already exist.
