~30 business, PE, SaaS, and finance communities where corp-dev and operator buyers actually read.
Marcus is thinner on Reddit than on X, and he is NOT in the dev subs the old avatar lived in. This is the buy-side neighborhood — PE, venture, corp-dev/finance, SaaS-business, and the sectors he evaluates. Engagement is comment-only and rare: the finance and VC subs auto-remove anything that names a product, so we comment with a translated data point on a real question or we just read.
Cadence
Comment-only on the engage subs (r/PrivateEquity, r/venturecapital, r/SaaS), and only when a translated data point answers a real question. 40–55 words, no URL in the first comment, ceiling of two comments a week. Everything else is read/watch.
Platform rule
Never main-post on the finance/VC subs — auto-mod removes it and shadowbans the account. No raw commits or quant jargon anywhere. Honest scope: this roster is intentionally short — Marcus's real Reddit footprint is small.

How to use this roster
We don’t guard our infiltration plan because it doesn’t scale by secrecy — it scales by repetition. If you want to mirror the same Redditattention map, that’s net positive: the conversation gets denser, the dataset gets cleaner, and the answer to the same question on each platform converges. We’ll still ship the free Acceleration Watch on Mondays.
The Reddit roster is regenerated quarterly. Status flags update weekly when engagement state changes. Companion mixed list at /target-list.
