some of the most interesting content on reddit is often from throwaway or pseudonym accounts which are essentially “anon” to all other users: - advice posts for sensitive situations or most ask men/women posts, like what’s the best thing your ex did in bed - AITAH - NoStupidQuestions - confessions this content digs at the complexity of human nature, often with unfiltered, authentic perspectives, that appeals to millions of users. this type of content on the anon accounts doesn’t get good engagement (and none seems to have graduated to the X account), perhaps due to public likes or the flat nature of reply threads where it seems like only one person is conversing. instead, the majority of content that breaks through is the same content that’d break through without anon accounts: memes, shills, and dunks. and because anon is still relatively small, the breakthrough content risks reading as in-group. excited to watch these projects continue to iterate because i see it as a big, big opportunity.

"constraints drive creativity" is important here IMO. Adding in more examples like confessions, overheard, [college] secrets, blind— the thing they have in common is a niche or intended "type" of post, rather than just an anon firehouse of anything. the niche inspires content and also helps moderate
