#NXDR at $2.06 — When the Product Pitch Meets Reality

#NXDR closed at $2.06 today — essentially no movement. A little over 3 million shares traded, down from previous days, which often signals hesitation rather than conviction.

At the same time, I’ve noticed a renewed push on Meta Facebook promoting Nextdoor and #NextdoorforBusiness. The videos do a great job showing how easy it is for a small business owner to:

- Launch an ad

- Make changes quickly

- Interact with prospects

Great idea. The pitch is strong.

However, the concept falls apart the moment a problem arises.

Here’s the disconnect:

- Comments are turned off on #Facebook, - LinkedIn, and even Nextdoor ’s own blog

- Issues route into automated responses that delay resolution

- There’s no active contact center — no phone, no real-time chat — when something goes wrong

In my case, #NiravTolia has blocked me across multiple platforms.

That last point matters. It signals that it’s permissible not to engage — even with a user, a shareholder, or a potential customer.

For a small business, every dollar matters.

When margins are thin and time is limited, spending on a platform without clear, accessible support raises a serious question:

- Is it wise to invest ad dollars where dialogue, accountability, and fast resolution aren’t guaranteed?

As a shareholder, I want Nextdoor to succeed. I want it to take off. The idea has real potential.

However, I can’t recommend it in good conscience — not until engagement, support, and accountability align with the marketing message.

Because growth doesn’t come from ease of entry alone.

It stems from how a company responds when something goes wrong.
