How I got 570k Reddit impressions for my side project using data journalism posts

A developer created a side project, PriceSquirrel, a PC hardware price comparison platform, and used data journalism posts on Reddit to gain 570k impressions without any marketing budget. The key to success was providing genuinely useful data that came from the platform, not promoting it directly. The developer learned to target specific subreddits where the data was relevant and to balance the amount of information provided to keep users engaged. A mistake that led to an account ban cost the developer visibility, highlighting the importance of reading subreddit rules before posting.
