    Don't worry about it. Honestly, this whole thread has left a bad taste in my mouth. I can understand why people would initially get upset about some of your comments, but when people start belittling and calling you an "asshole", especially when the original intent of the article was to help others, it makes me feel uneasy.

      Same here. It's a little distressing.

      Appreciated.

      The whole reason I created the list is because I posted the original "Master list" on /r/redditalternatives and I was asked to by a LOT of people who are either part or represent other communities. I gave them all, even the smaller ones with only a few hundred users, a fair shot. A lot of them shared their Google Analytics with me and we talked about their plans for future growth.

      This is the list I was talking about: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/c..._reddit_alternatives_that_i/?ref=search_posts

      People severely overestimate the use of such a list as a marketing tool, speaking as an ex-mod of /r/marketing and /r/ppc, and the main benefit here will be inbound in weeks/months to come. I did this not because my work wanted me to but because I thought I had an opportunity to create a decent resource for a large amount of communities. I'm speaking entirely on my own behalf here, not some hidden agenda, so I'd appreciate if people would talk to me as a person as opposed to some automated hired shill.

      I understand why this community is hurt by my comments and why they were taken outside of the context I meant - however I stand by what I said and that I look forward to the growth of Snapzu and things to come. This is a powerful community, with twice the amount of members of one that I represent, and I honestly see great things coming from it.

      Tell it like it is. Let's talk about it.
