Press Release: Questioning Nextdoor’s Q3 Results Amid Concerns of Inflated Metrics and Lost Mission

Mount Pleasant, SC – October 30, 2025 – Following Nextdoor’s recent announcement of record Q3 revenue and positive adjusted EBITDA, community advocates are questioning whether the company’s reported growth truly reflects its stated mission — to connect neighbors and strengthen communities.

Niel Flamm, former user and digital transparency advocate at NielFlamm.com, has expressed concern that Nextdoor’s reported advertising reach and user engagement figures may be inflated. Thousands of users have been suspended or removed without apparent cause or communication, raising doubts about the validity of audience metrics presented to advertisers.

“Advertisers deserve honest data,” said Flamm. “When suspended or terminated profiles are still counted in engagement and reach statistics, the value proposition becomes misleading. A platform built on connection should not profit from silence.”

Flamm has also called attention to Nextdoor’s lack of tangible community support during the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, which has left many families struggling. “While claiming to connect neighbors, Nextdoor has yet to offer meaningful aid — such as funding meals or essential supplies — to households impacted by the shutdown,” Flamm stated. “A proposed truce included a simple gesture: provide Walmart gift cards for families relying on SNAP benefits. To date, there’s been no action.”

The response underscores a growing sentiment that Nextdoor’s priorities have shifted — focusing on financial performance over genuine neighborhood connection.

“Neighbors deserve more than quarterly results,” said Flamm. “They deserve transparency, accountability, and a platform that invests in the communities it claims to serve.”
