I Finally Understand Why #Nextdoor Wasn’t Paying Attention to Me… Until Now.
For the longest time, I kept wondering why Nextdoor brushed off every question, removed every comment, dodged every attempt at conversation, and fortified their walls higher each week.
Now I get it.
In their eyes, I had no skin in the game.
I wasn’t an advertiser.
I wasn’t an employee.
And after being suspended, I wasn’t even a user.
But that changed today.
I bought 40 shares of $NXDR at $1.76 per share — a stock sitting on the edge of penny-stock territory, down 23% over the year, with ~390 million shares outstanding.
Now I am a stakeholder.
Now I do have skin in the game.
Now I have a vested interest in ensuring #Nextdoor becomes what it claims to be — a platform worthy of advertisers, users, and investors.
And this part is for you, Nirav Tolia:
👉 I’m now financially invested in the company you lead.
I’m asking for transparency, accountability, and alignment with the mission you publicly champion.
I’m here because I believe #Nextdoor can be better — but only if leadership chooses the hard path, not the convenient one.
You said you returned to #Nextdoor to turn it around.
I’m holding 40 shares (more in the very near future), counting on you to actually do it.
My door — and my LinkedIn inbox — is open.
Let’s talk like neighbors and shareholders should.

Thankful in 2025: A Quick Video Reflection
I just posted a new video sharing what I’m thankful for so far in 2025.
It’s been a year of challenges, growth, and unexpected moments that reminded me how strong the human spirit can be—especially when life throws curveballs like amputation, kidney failure, travel chaos, or the day-to-day grind of just trying to move forward.
In the video, I talk about the people, places, small victories, and big lessons that have carried me into this new year. Gratitude hits differently when you’ve lived through the tough stuff, and 2025 has already given me more than a few reasons to pause and appreciate what I do have.
Check it out on NielFlamm.com → Videos, and share what you’re thankful for too.
Let’s keep lifting each other up.

More Thoughts on the Celebrity Reflection
I had a few extra thoughts after my time on the Celebrity Reflection — especially about the gambling and the alcohol scene onboard. Let’s just say the casino thoughts are big at sea, and the drinks… well, they have their own storyline.
