Reddit scraping for leads
A March 22 thread demos using AI to scrape Reddit subs for intent signals and pull paying or high-intent users in five minutes — pitched as a quick SaaS lead-gen hack with a tool demo. The approach promises fast prospect lists built from community behavior rather than cold outreach. (x.com)
Linkeddit’s product pages list features including engagement metrics, buying‑intent scores, direct post links and an AI content writer, and state the tool is used by “2,500+ users.” ( linkeddit.com ) Product Hunt shows Linkeddit with two listed launches (December 28, 2025 and February 23, 2025) and the product page reports 836 followers. ( producthunt.com/products/linkeddit ) A Dynamic Business feature published January 17, 2026 reports Linkeddit’s “Pro Lifetime” plan priced at $149.99 as a one‑time payment and lists features such as unlimited AI agent pipelines and instant CSV exports. ( dynamicbusiness.com ) Third‑party AI directories and listings show Linkeddit with a free tier and paid entry pricing “from $19.99/mo,” and they explicitly advertise buy‑intent scoring and exportable prospect lists.

( github.com/OmPatel5 ) Reddit’s October 2025 lawsuit alleging “industrial‑scale” scraping — naming Perplexity AI and others — claimed defendants bypassed access controls and scraped nearly three billion Reddit search result pages over a two‑week period, a legal development cited by multiple outlets.
