I definitely think that it is great idea to have a trial of dedicated Reddit working group. I think the cost is high so I would like to see the budged being little lower for the trial. I’ve personally been contributing since 2018 in a few different projects managing Reddit, Discord, Telegram and CT. Although the warchest is deep and we are on a bull market, it’s a good practice to be smart with the budget. For such budget it is possible to include more platforms (such as Discord) and still call it a great budget.
I understand that you want to have money on the table to attract the best talent, but I’m very confident that $50k for this is more than attractive and easier for community to digest.
I originally voted for yes but pulled it back because the budget is high. Ready to vote yes again for a revised proposal.
how much on average were you and the other moderators paid for growing the /r/musicproduction and /r/spotifyplaylists subs, maybe it would be good to put that out there so people can see and compare what’s “typical” for that kind of thing?
this seems unecessary and/or excessively expensive (why can’t someone just get the green light to go make a subreddit and grow a community for fun/free? intermingling money/budgets with community-building which needs to be genuine & organic, doesn’t seem like it’d beneficial in the long-run to me)
this proposal seems at least largely AI-generated (based solely on my insticts, which have been mega-honed via extensive exposure to AI generated content and a familiary with many models’ quirks. although it’s certainly possible you just write like an AI, which isn’t inherently bad!)
i neither use nor like Reddit (relevant info because it shows my bias against the platform, which is relevant to this proposal)
in a world where certain funds were already earmarked for social media promotional use, maybe i’d vote in favor of this, but i generally think the current state of crypto/Jupiter/&c warrants heavier spending on developers/infrastructure/tools and (much) less on marketing
only thing that i suppose would make me consider this proposal seriously would be if there was $0 paid out up front and the entirity of the budget contingent on various pre-defined milestones
I’m for the idea in general, but are 5 resources really needed?
I also support idea of having a lower base pay, which is then supplemented by a bonus pending pre-defined metrics / targets being met, totalling the total proposed budget amount. It gives more motivation to the people involved to make it succeed
I really like the idea of tapping into the reddit sector for mass awareness and adoption. I can’t believe how early we all are and how much room for growth this community and project has.
I would love to take part in this project and be a part of a working group. Please reach out to me of anything is available.
I’m not sure what regions are already taken, but it would be a good idea to diversify the team members making up the WG into several different regions so that we constantly have team members active no matter what time it is.
I am located in UTC -7 (Pacific Time) zone and ready and willing to help in any way/form/fashion I can
Thank you for all your hard work team:saluting_face:
Agreed 60 or 90 day trials should be more than enough. It’s already frustrating that these proposals are so unnecessarily long for what should be a very targeted engagement.
I’m excited to express my interest in becoming a Reddit Mod for Jupiter. I’ve been an active Redditor since 2017, and my involvement in the crypto space during the same period has provided me with valuable insights that I believe can benefit the Jupiter community.
I’m passionate about fostering a positive and engaging environment for discussions and eager to contribute my skills and experience to help Jupiter thrive.
You can reach out to me through my Reddit profile: u/FunkyGrass
I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the Jupiter community!
I’m all for having an organized presence on reddit, and would be happy to have someone with this type of experience leading the charge. Though I would pose some questions:
Do you envision there’s enough work for 5 full time people right off the bat, to run a reddit program and mod a subreddit that doesn’t exist yet? It seems there is some sentiment that $68k is high for an initial budget. I can see the logic there, but I can also see how starting with a fully staffed team, with the right people, could get the ball rolling faster, increasing Jupiter’s presence, accelerating growth and quickening ROI.
Aside from that, I’d be curious about some of the logistics involved:
What does the hiring/vetting process for these roles? Is this the sole discretion of the Lead or is someone else at Jupiter involved?
What’s the administrative structure for this workgroup? Does the moderation team report directly to the Lead, or someone else at Jupiter?
Does Meow or someone at Jupiter retain top level administrative control of the subreddit, or is that being entrusted to the working group?
it’s quite possible, even though there will be 5 ppl keeping an eye on reddit, it’s important to remember out of the 5, 3 might be sleeping due to the time differences within the 5 people, it’s not like 5 people will be all working at the same time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, throw in the moderation of Reddit is a 7 day job, the 5 watching Reddit will not be working 7 days a week, shifts need to be sorted and allocated.
As for the allocated budget, it’s vital to keep things in perspective, this is a trial only, additionally, for a Billion dollar brand like Jupiter, $68k really is a drop in the bucket, lets see how it all goes and then analyze the results at the end of the trial.
After going through the proposal, I still have some concerns:
The number of requests for the working group is very high, as it’s a trial period. I think we need to see the result first before fully funding this. If we continue to fund this, it will not be sustainable in the future.I would like to learn more about the cost breakdown details in the Reddit working group proposal. Could you please provide more information on how the proposed costs were determined?
How can we evaluate the success of the program? Why can’t we try it first and see how it goes?
As I mentioned in the other post, the Arbitrum working group for Arbitrum Treasury and Sustainability—Working Group asks for 100 ARB per hour, which is around 100 USD per hour, so we could use this as a standard for working groups.
Why do you need 4 moderators, and how many hours will they spend each month? Because of the standard rate of the moderator, it’s around 1000–1500 USD per month. Could you please clarify what their duties and responsibilities are? We need KPIs that could identify the success of this group so we can evaluate its success rate and help develop future programs.
For now, I’m still not supporting this Reddit working group, as per the above concerns. And I think we need a format for proposals like this as well, so every proposal has the same detail that the JUPDAO community needs and receives all the data that is necessary.
