Posted an offer in r/Ghost this weekend. Got told my API key claim was wrong (it was — a Ghost expert corrected me), that I needed a privacy policy (fair), and that my replies sounded like AI (they did — guilty, stopped).

Within 48 hours: claim corrected everywhere, privacy page shipped, and I now write my own replies, typos included.

Lesson I'm keeping: strangers who attack your mechanism and never attack your idea are handing you a to-do list, not a verdict. Nobody in that thread said "knowing which content retains paying subscribers is useless." They said "I don't trust how you're doing it yet." Different problem. Fixable problem.
