I know this sounds like a troll post, but I am serious.
I have a pretty chill job and get to browse Reddit quite a bit. I especially enjoy hitting the random button and finding new subreddits and getting interesting ideas and perspectives on topics I don’t normally think about or know of.
Is there anyway to capitalize on this? I’d love to be able to harness this information and knowledge into something that people would find useful. The only thing I can think of sharing this information via social media posts (tik tok, instagram), but that doesn’t sound too exciting to me.
