Leadmore AI
👤 Richard Wang (Long-time heavy Reddit user who kept getting his own accounts banned while marketing on it, then built the fix he needed.)🌐 site𝕏LinkedIn
Kept getting his Reddit accounts banned while marketing, so he sells the fix: post through aged, safe accounts.
Will it work? · our read
Pain, productized. Genuine demand, real revenue, a clever fix. But every dollar depends on Reddit tolerating the managed account network — and Reddit has shut third parties down before.

The $1M ARR headline is a founder run-rate (a recent day x 365), not audited; the $30K MRR mark is the cleanly documented figure. Indie Hackers
About $1M ARR run-rate (founder-stated); $30K MRR documented at the 4-month mark.
03Weight class — CENTStap an axis
Control Low
Reddit controls the platform. It can detect the coordinated network and ban the managed account pool at will.
04The key move
Rent the karma
He kept getting his Reddit accounts banned. Instead of writing safer posts, he productized the risk: customers post through Leadmore's pool of aged high-karma accounts, so a ban lands on Leadmore, not them.
fact
The counter-intuitive move
But Leadmore, not the user, absorbs every ban. Reddit only has to detect the pattern once to ban the whole managed pool — and the promise dies with it.

Inventory of aged high-karma accountsAbsorbs the ban risk customers fearGrew via Reddit — the channel it sells'World's first' first-mover position
06How it diesmedium confidence
Reddit detects the coordinated posting network and bans Leadmore's managed accounts en masse. The core promise — post safely, your own account untouched — is gone overnight, and repeat purchases collapse. our read
Show evidence · counter
Evidence: Reddit's 2023 API repricing killed Apollo and other third-party apps almost overnight — platform risk here is proven, not hypothetical.
Counter: He deliberately refuses one-click mass AI posting to keep the footprint small, and Reddit-distribution demand keeps rising. He has survived and grown to a $1M run-rate so far.
07Against rivals
The real default is posting from your own account — free, until Reddit bans it. Leadmore sells that risk away for $9.99 to start. our read

★Would it work for you?
You already have some channel, audience, or insider access. What risk or grunt-work could you take on so customers do not have to?
Leadmore wins by absorbing a risk others fear. What painful risk could you carry for a customer? We don't score you — you answer.

What it does: Leadmore AI is a pay-per-post tool that finds relevant subreddits, posts through its own pool of aged high-karma accounts, and delivers buying-intent Reddit leads to the customer.
Why it won (moat): Leadmore holds an inventory of aged, high-karma Reddit accounts and takes on the ban risk itself, so copycats can clone the interface but not the account pool overnight.
Weakest axis (CENTS): The whole business rests on Reddit's tolerance, Reddit can detect and ban the managed network, and rival tools already compete in the same space.
How it could die: Reddit mass-bans the managed accounts, the safe-posting promise collapses, and repeat purchases go with it.

<task>
Be a skeptical operator, not a cheerleader. No generic startup platitudes. If my angle is weak, say so plainly.
First, a reality check: markets like this mostly fail. State the honest base rate (how crowded/hard is this?) and the ONE specific thing that would have to be true for ME to be the exception — grounded in my profile above.
Then a compact table:
- Fit — does this pattern suit my edge, or fight my gap?
- Angle — my sharpest differentiation vs Leadmore AI (concrete, not "better UX")
- Distribution — exactly where my first 100 users come from (this is the hardest part — be specific, not "content marketing")
- Risk — its "how it dies" (above) in MY situation
Finish with one line: "The single thing to do next."
Use only the facts above; if data is thin, say so — never invent numbers.
Then stay with me and go deeper on whatever I ask — tech stack, rough cost & time, the smallest MVP to test, pricing, or timing.

Indie Hackers — Richard: $30K MRR in 4 months, $0 marketing (2025)Indie Hackers — Leadmore crossed $1M ARR run-rate (Feb 2026)leadmore.ai — product site, '1,000+ companies', $9.99 entryX (@Richard_ai66) — founder's accountEasyAI — Leadmore AI review (secondary, 2026)
The $30K-MRR-in-4-months and $0-marketing figures are documented first-party in Richard's Indie Hackers post. The $1M ARR headline is his own Feb 2026 claim, calculated as a recent day's revenue x 365 — a run-rate, not audited, so treat it as directional (not independently confirmed). Leadmore actually bills pay-per-post (about $4/comment, $7/post, refundable if removed), not a flat subscription — per EasyAI, replyagent.ai, and other secondary reviews, and the founder's own $1M-ARR post hedges the same way, calling it "slightly higher than a strict subscription based ARR" and tracking a "repurchase rate." '1,000+ companies' is a site claim. Founder's surname (Wang) comes from secondary write-ups; he posts publicly as @Richard_ai66, and the LinkedIn handle (richard666) is from a secondary review. A "big-tech engineer/PM" background is not confirmed anywhere — his own post says only that he previously worked on an AI-to-consumer product and is a longtime heavy Reddit user, which is what founder.note now reflects. No fabricated drama: the account-ban pain and pre-launch community are his own words. We never score you.
