1) Check the Json file and see if things related to 'community' have true or false then check the "WLS" score. Aim for communities above 5

If it's false. Dont buy it, it indicates Reddit already realizes the community has a problem and is not supporting it in algorithm.

If the WLS is below 5, I'd reccomend avoiding , probably not acitve.


2) Weekly visitors should be higher than subscribers. If it's not, the group is not active. If it's been like this a long time, check the things I said in #1 and likely they will parallel an indication that the subreddit has low reach/trust


3) Now, this is a debatable part of the topic but I think NFSW groups are done. They have no reach in Google as they are not typically going to be listed in search. This limits the marketing potential and even if you're marketing OnlyFans content, an SFW with reach can be much more effective if you have good creative direction.


How to value it, is simple ---

Do you know what you're planning to do with it?

If it passes these 3 factors , can you project yourself making a higher ROI than the asking price?

If so, then you should buy and get to work.

An SFW subreddit can be worth up to $1 per subscriber when it has a high WLS, lots of visitor activity, and powerful reach. But you will need to execute by blending and not just thinking you can be a 'marketing ram' and force your way through reddit's filters and ai community moderation.

What JSon file?


Subreddit JSON refers to the structured data format Reddit provides for accessing public content, obtained by appending .json to any standard subreddit URL (e.g., reddit.com/r/subreddit.json). This method acts as a free, unofficial API that requires no authentication, API keys, or developer account approval, allowing developers to retrieve post titles, authors, scores, comments, and timestamps in a parsable format.

People should also know 'dropped subs' sometimes come with a flag pegged to them if not always.

Be careful.
 
WLS seems like a useful metric here, especially for judging actual activity
 
That's what I said in the first post.

Absolutely is.
subscriber count can be misleading actual visitor activity gives a much clearer picture of whether a community is still alive.

Are you Ai posting?

I also said this in the first post.

Just seems like you're parroting with an ai-regen script

tried doing this .json thing for a subreddit but Reddit blocked me (network request blocked), do you do anything else apart from appending .json at the end?

Use another browser. You're blocking your IP.
Make sure you're not using Icognito.
 
How do you calculate WLS?

I dont now but if it has 'False' instead of '6' or higher.........

That sub's got no reach int he algorithim
 
"Crickets" on this post.

Anybody ever seen a sub above 6?

I actually only see 'false' (low quality bus) or '6' it seems
