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.

The medium is the message - ANON was started by a SuperCast user and solidified by a crypto developer. The audience is very crypto and so the breakthrough posts are very crypto. It might be we need specific anon accounts for specific types of content (ie love advice, AITAH, TIFU) to see breakthroughs of other types.

respectfully disagree, the breakthrough posts are the same posts that would break through regardless. even if we’re “crypto,” we’re all humans. iirc one breakthrough superanon cast read as a “no stupid questions” about the election and women’s rights and led to robust discussion and a copy pasta joke.

Weren’t you saying above that this type of content didn’t breakthrough (due to public likes, flat threads)? Even if we are all human, I think context and audience make a big difference when engaging. If I like AITA content and there’s none on the anon feed, I won’t go there looking for it, and I won’t post it. I’ll go to the place that’s meant to gather this type of content. It’s why I think more anon niches are possible.
