Paid research

Paid test: 1 hour. Do not post anything. This is a test task. If the work is thoughtful, practical, and culturally aware, there will likely be ongoing work for future essays. Essay topic: Apple raised hardware prices after memory/storage costs surged because of AI data-center demand. The argument is that Apple may not be the victim here: it used the AI memory shortage as a clean reason to protect margin and raise retail prices. Task: Find 8 relevant subreddits for this essay. For each subreddit, provide: 1. Subreddit name 2. Why it fits 3. Whether this should be a post, a comment, or not posted there 4. Whether an external link is allowed or risky 5. One Reddit-native title or comment angle 6. What not to say in that subreddit 7. One sentence on the main risk of posting there Also draft 2 short Reddit-native post openings: * one for a technical/local AI audience * one for an investing/markets audience For each draft, include: * the opening * the intended subreddit type * 3 phrases you deliberately avoided and why Rules: * Do not post anything. * Do not recommend bought upvotes, fake comments, mass posting, or recycled accounts. * Do not give generic subreddit lists. * Do not write marketing copy. * I care more about knowing where not to post and what not to say than about maximum reach.
