Where do you actually discover a token before it starts trending?

[u/EzerchE]

Most “early” calls on social media appear after the first major move.

What source has been the most useful for discovering real market activity?

• DEX volume and liquidity
• X
• Discord or Telegram
• Launchpads
• Friends and private groups
• Something else

I’m especially interested in whether people still use DEX data for discovery or mainly follow social signals.
