The thread it landed on
The post went up in r/SaaS: “Best SaaS tools for 2026? Drop your recommendations.” High intent, the kind of thread where people are literally asking to be sold to. The comment we're looking at was posted in the first hour, while the thread had fewer than ten replies. That timing is half the story.

Why it landed
