I would assign probably 3000 USD on Twitter and 2000 on Reddit.
@cbeams performance on Twitter is great and easily more worth then 1500 BSQ - though it is very hard to estimate and I think it is easier that we ask ourselves what we want to spend and use a budget instead of trying to find the real value.
@HarryMacfinned Could you imagine to lower your efforts on Reddit in the way that it matches a budget the stakeholders are assigning for Reddit activities? I definitely appreciate that we get more presence on Reddit but I also want to keep it in right proportions to other expenses (Twitter, dev efforts, support,...).

Concerning @cbeams 's performance on Twitter, my opinion since the beginning (and as Chris himself expressed it somewhere in github, saying "I would pay more for the job"), is that this role (as achieved by him atm) is more worth then 1500 BSQ. I know enough about twitter to say that.

The case with reddit, as I do it atm, is that the role is quite a **whole**.
- 1st: you post on r/bisq (it brings views, nice ok, but that's just the start)
- 2nd: you crosspost. Here you **multiply** the views in the great subreddits
- 3rd: you reply to reactions and/or to people asking about Bisq.

It must however be pointed that the pure views metrics is not the whole picture. Bumping in small but motivated subreddits (eg national subreddits may also pay)

In reddit, what could be lowered/cut separately ?
- Posting without crossposting ? it's the crossposts which brings 90% of the views. Not crossposting means losing 90% of the benefits of the job.
- Not taking time to answer people asking about Bisq ? sometimes after your own first post. Better not post at first
- I may post only 1 day every 2 days ... which would lead touching subreddits every 2 weeks. I'm not really carried away ...

The reddit channel itself doesn't seem to provoke enthousiasm here.
The atm conditions makes it also not possible to pursue **gently** my role on reddit.
The simple way I see lowering my atm activity on reddit is simply stopping it. If there is no discord, it's what I'll do.

I'm also very happy that we had this discussion now. And I thank everybody telling their opinion in advance. It's a bit better than at a end of month votation.

Some post-scriptum **general** remarks :
- atm, Bisq's shareholding is not spending USD, it's spending BSQs.
- it may well be that having one main communication channel is enough. I think a good second channel would not harm.
- I don't agree with Alexej and m52go analysis concerning the reddit channel itself. Concerning the pertinence of reddit versus other channels, 2 links :

imo reddit is a pertinent/appropriate channel for Bisq. To find customers, but not only.
