Method 3: Sit in one specific place

Use this only if you can't watch a person and can't find a community your candidate already lives in.

Pick one specific place online next to a topic you care about. Read every post for two hours. Take notes the same way you would in Method 2.

The weakness: you're not connected to a specific person you know. You'll see general patterns ("a lot of people complain about X") but you won't have a specific human to point at when Coach Reya asks "okay, who exactly?"

That makes Module 6 (first paying customer) harder, because you don't know who to give the v1 to.

Method 3 is better than nothing. It is worse than 1 or 2. Use it only when you have to.
