Get 10 upvotes in a post's first 10 minutes from a group, then reply to every comment
Founder says posts climb higher; credited for viral posts, no split-out numbers

What they did
Belongs to a group of ~15 marketers (and a group of friends) who share their Reddit posts; each shared post gets upvoted and commented on right away, aiming for 10+ upvotes in the first 5-10 minutes so outside users follow. Then reply to absolutely every comment to show engagement, which earns more upvotes and ranking. Against haters: show proof (e.g. your MRR) and block insulting commenters.
What happened
Posts rank 'higher and higher'; named as one of three reasons the YC post went viral
- Stage
- Early (first customers)
- Effort
- 15-person group
This shipped together with other changes, so the result can't be credited to this alone.
“What we've done internally is we have a group of 15 marketers where everyone share their Reddit posts. Everyone upvotes the other posts, and then external people are going to like.”
“Step eight, you reply to every comment, absolutely every one of them. This is going to give you traction.”
