Im sorry you got so butt hurt - but the reality is a 7000 view per month subreddit is maybe 1k-2k uniques a month?? That is as DEAD as DEAD can possibly be.
I have a subreddit I started 11 days ago. I post 2x daily on it. And it only has 820 members so far and its done 17,000 views in 11 days.
https://prnt.sc/222qva5 So why would anyone pay $250 for something completely dead - unless like I said it had a great name. Because if youre starting from nothing like they would be with your dead subreddit - why not create the exact one you want and pay nothing.
And as far as the 1 Subreddit I am having built - the $275 you would spend for one month would get you this:
https://prnt.sc/222r3ix 339,000 page views the first month. Hire them for one month - and your sub is off and running.
$250 for 7,000 views and 16k dormant users or $275 for 339,000 views and 12,000 current active users and a name and niche of your choosing. No brainer huh?
And I wont post a link to another forum out of respect for this forum....
If anyone wants to buy a real subreddit - I can put you in touch with someone who has active subreddits available for real prices:
https://prnt.sc/222s1f1
https://prnt.sc/222sbo5
He has a subreddit just like the one that I wanted the name of here with 7k page views a month for $30. Yes, $30. 140k page views a month for $40. Up to 1.4 million page views.
So yes, your subreddit might be worth $50.
And as you said in your last line... you can do like I do and have active communities for free, much cheaper, or basically the same price depending on which route you choose. Or buy a subreddit that no one goes to and be starting from scratch anyway.
Good luck!
