I don't really put too much emphasis on my competitors. I focus more on understanding the needs of my audience. In this vein, I find that conducting surveys and gathering feedback helps a lot and it could be a game changer too. Also, I make sure to focus on niche topics and it sets my forum apart from the competition.

That is a good strategy. Make your saite the best it can be. Yuor competitirs will be watching you set the trends.

As @todal has said, I watch my competitors not to copy them, but to identify gaps in my content and my own community. I then gauge whether what they are doing differently would serve my audience, and then find ways to incorporate it if I find out it will.

If you do not do this right, you might find yourself relying on checking up on your competitors so much that you no longer have any original ideas. As with everything else in life, doing this is about moderation and finding a balance between inspiration and outright copying, inspiration and over-reliance on other people's ideas and content.

I am not a content creator but I believe that it's really important to keep an eye on the work of the people who you feel are doing better than you. It's all about learning, implementing and growing.

I have one competitor, but they’re no longer that active.

 

i’ve been studying what’s going on with certain subreddits on Reddit though.
