🎟️ When there’s a betting slip to predict a company’s behavior… things have gotten absurd.

I created this “#Nextdoor Action Betting” slip as a joke—
…but the fact that it feels accurate says everything.

Here are the “odds” I’m apparently working with:

• Not post for 3 days

• Not post for 5 days

• Not post for 7 days

• Not reach out to Niel (the safest bet in America)

• Deactivate their LinkedIn account

• Try another slick way to get around me not commenting

• Close up the entire shop instead of having one conversation

Funny? Yes.
Comforting? Absolutely not.

📊 And here’s the real kicker… the metrics.

#Nextdoor cannot present platform engagement metrics, advertiser value, or “trusted neighbor data” as solid numbers when half the variables depend on unpaid, untrained, anonymous local moderators.

If moderators—who are not employees, not trained, and not accountable—can:

• flag legitimate posts as “Spam,”

• suppress listings,

• remove community discussions,

• or shut down basic neighbor-to-neighbor interaction…

…then what exactly are these metrics measuring?

Certainly not authentic community behavior.

Advertisers, investors, and even everyday users deserve to know whether engagement data reflects real activity or the unpredictable decisions of volunteers armed with inconsistent guidelines.

When the entire model depends on “neighbors helping neighbors,” #Nextdoor cannot ignore the fact that the same neighbors—unpaid and unsupported—are influencing the numbers it proudly publishes.

When the platform behavior becomes predictable enough to fit on a gambling slip…
It’s time for leadership to rethink more than just posting schedules and one-sided articles.
