Organic-first, paid-on-top,every thread.

Three differences. First, we ship organic before paid. Most Reddit ads agencies cold-blast paid placements into subs where the founder has no presence; ads get filtered or downvoted within hours. We earn the engagement floor first, then amplify what works. Second, we operate the karma engagement gate per FORKOFF reddit-hygiene canon; ad-only agencies skip warmup entirely and lose accounts to shadowban. Third, the founder voice runs the cadence; we never autopilot the account.

Reddit shadowbans new accounts that comment in commercial subs before crossing 30 comment karma. FORKOFF treats this as a hardline. No FORKOFF-relevant subreddit comments fire until the operator account hits the floor. Stages: days 0 to 3 read plus upvote, 5 to 15 karma. Days 4 to 8 reach 30 karma in low-stakes subs. Days 9 to 14 first topic-relevant posts. Day 14 plus FORKOFF-relevant work begins. The gate is the difference between an account that compounds 90 days and one auto-removed in week one.

Yes. AMA pre-clearance with mods is part of the engagement and is always handled by an operator, never by automation. We DM mods directly from a karma-floored account, share the founder bio plus topic angle plus transparent FORKOFF disclosure, and book the AMA window inside the launch sequence. Mod relations are the most underrated lever in Reddit marketing; cold AMAs without pre-clearance get auto-removed even when the founder is genuinely interesting.

$4,000 to $8,000 per month retainer with a 90-day minimum. The Reddit motion needs continuity through the karma gate plus organic-then-paid sequencing, so no separate pilot price. Outcome-anchored on qualified Reddit traffic, AMA bookings, mod-cleared launch posts, and paid-vs-organic engagement ratio. Reported through the weekly Friday receipt. By application, capped at 5 engagements per quarter.

Yes, when there is a launch trigger inside 90 days. The karma gate plus organic cadence translates naturally to a stealth founder building credibility before product is public. We pre-clear AMAs in 2 to 3 launch subs, run the cadence on the founder's actual technical voice, and time the launch post to land into demand instead of silence. Pre-product founders with no real moment in 90 days are too early; the cadence has nothing to anchor on.

Yes, with extra care. Crypto and finance subs (r/CryptoCurrency, r/CryptoMoonShots, r/SatoshiStreetBets, r/wallstreetbets) auto-remove new accounts under 100 karma plus 30-day account age. We hit the higher floor before any commercial post in these subs. The wedge is patience: most crypto Reddit agencies lose accounts every week to automod; we operate at the karma floor that survives.

Brigading is the cardinal Reddit sin: coordinated upvotes or downvotes from external sources. Reddit detects it via vote-time clustering and account-graph analysis. FORKOFF avoids brigading by (a) never asking external accounts to vote on a thread, (b) never crossposting from one operator account to another sub on the same engagement, (c) staggering comment timing across 90 to 300 second jittered intervals, and (d) routing every operator account through a unique sticky residential proxy. We have zero brigading flags in 18 months of operation across the FORKOFF reddit-api workspace.
