A few weeks ago, I was a frustrated solo dev. I got banned on Reddit twice while trying to find leads for my SaaS. My IP was blacklisted, and my bots were dead.
But that failure led to a realization: Keywords are noise. Intent is gold.
Traditional tools flood you with every mention of a word. Track "CRM" and you get 99% memes and news. I decided to stop building a "scraper" and started building an AI Brain.
Most people think Reddit lead generation is just about tracking keywords like "SaaS" or "Marketing."
They are wrong.
Keywords are just noise. A person saying "I'm building a SaaS" is a distraction. A person saying "I'm losing $10k a month because my CRM is failing" is a high-intent lead.
