I’ve worked at a VC funded startup that burned $3 million for 2,000 users.

I built a side project that I put on Reddit that got 5,000 hits last month.

The second seems like better ROI

I am one of dozens of moderators of the Hardcore Berkshire Hathaway subreddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/brkb/

I put in a little effort each day, but thousands of people benefit. Small work, big impact. Contributing on Reddit is an easy way to have a meaningful effect on the world.
