It’s funny how different social media platforms work. You can post an idea on LinkedIn and only receive praise and post the same idea on Reddit and only receive negative feedback (sometimes even disrespectful comments or insults lol).

The answer is obvious: Reddit is anonymous.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Reddit. I find it very useful. I’m a marketer and it helps me write great landing pages, because you find honesty and angles you wouldn’t find any other way (sometimes you find them after wasting a whole marketing budget).

But I wouldn’t say Reddit is ALWAYS the best for feedback. Bc I think we, Redditors, sometimes focus too much on the negative and are biased. Also, you don’t know who you are receiving “advice” from: If people love one thing is to give their honest opinion on something they don’t know shit about.

That’s why I use LinkedIn feedback to consider opportunities or even a little bit of motivation (I launched successful ideas that Reddit told me not to or that were idiotic) and Reddit to help me handle objections and be realistic about my ideas (thanks to Reddit comments I’ve built 20%+ conversion rate landing pages).

What do you think?
