Unpopular opinion: Most Reddit monitoring tools are solving the wrong problem [I will not promote]
Every tool in this space does roughly the same thing- monitor keywords, maybe slap an AI relevance score on top, send you alerts.
The relevance score is supposed to be the smart part. The thing that filters noise. But here's the issue: almost every tool defines "relevant" the same way. Buying intent. Pain points. Competitor frustration.
That's one narrow slice of why you'd want to find a Reddit post.
I know a founder who built a flat rental app (no-brokerage, Bangalore). His ideal post isn't "I hate my current apartment app"- it's "anyone know a good 2BHK in Indiranagar?" Completely different signal. No existing tool's AI would score that post as highly relevant for him, because their model doesn't know that's what he's looking for.
The tools are essentially pre-deciding what counts as a lead for you. And they've all made the same assumption: you're a B2B SaaS founder chasing switching intent.
Is anyone else running into this? Curious how people with non-standard use cases are handling Reddit monitoring..
