Ohanian disclosed the way one can gather information from the public. So that whatever product you are building has more connectivity with the people it caters to. He shared a thread and wrote, “Love this advice. At 22 + starting Reddit I’d go to my local coffee shop and offer people a free cup of coffee to let me ask them questions about where they got their news, if they published online, + what they thought of this mockup I’d made (the homepage, voting arrows, etc).”

He added, “I learned a lot about the business / product. I ultimately wanted to build and I think this young man’s approach to thinking about professions / networking would be even more effective use of coffee + time — especially this early in one’s career.”
