Ecommerce shoppers are skeptical. Thin or brand-new accounts get dismissed instantly in communities like r/frugal and r/BuyItForLife. To show up credibly in these conversations, you need profiles with posting history and karma that fits the community. Accounts with karma and posting history sourced through Signals are built for exactly that kind of warm entry.
