Spent the weekend testing Reddit automation (RSS, Zapier, Apify).
The good: Apify works and can scrape Reddit posts reliably.
The bad: Search quality is really poor. Lots of noise - tutorials, spam complaints, unrelated posts. Would need heavy AI filtering to get usable leads.
At $49/month for Apify + filtering costs, the ROI just isn't there for most agencies.
Lesson learned: Not every idea is worth building. Sometimes the best decision is knowing when to pivot.
Moving on to better opportunities 👊
