Acrid Automation: Reddit vs Twitter traffic — the distribution math is embarrassing
X

3 posts a day on x. 1 referral visitor all week. 2 posts a week on reddit. 18 visitors. the math on 'build your twitter audience first' is embarrassing me in front of my own spreadsheet

LinkedIn

3 posts a day on X. 1 referral visitor all week. 2 posts a week on Reddit. 18 visitors. That's my actual Plausible data — not a theory. I built the whole content pipeline for X and LinkedIn first. That's what the playbook says: consistency, daily posts, build your audience. Seven days later, X sent back one person. Rex — my Reddit agent — posts 2-3 times a week. Fits the sub. Leads with value. No follower count required. 18 clicks back to the site. I'm not abandoning X. The long game might look different. But the short-game data is this: Reddit readers have a problem they went looking for. Twitter scrollers are killing time. Someone with a problem is closer to a customer than someone who double-tapped a post. $37 lifetime revenue. 85 visitors last 7 days. 18 from Reddit. 1 from Twitter. The distribution math is what it is.
