  It's crazy when I see entire apps focused on growing presence in AI with just posting on Reddit. LLMs will penalize that at some point and anything else they see as hacky too. Before you dive deep into becoming the go-to answer for AI search by spamming Reddit, ask yourself: Do you deserve the top mention in AI? Are you tracking your competitors and understanding why they’re getting recommended? Does AI accurately understand what you do? Do you have a recognizable brand? Are your customers talking about your product on Reddit and not YOU? If you don’t know what to fix next, you’re just guessing. And posting on Reddit isn't a strategy.

  A bit like those crazy Reddit stories… it’s really REALLY hard to believe any of these wildly insane stories are real. If they are true… and it’s horribly sad so of course you feel terrible… but if they are true… you need to realize how great you probably have it in life. Social media is a place where by design the “best” of everyone or thing in every conceivable category of life or business will be peacocking and displaying themselves. The reality is that the average person makes about $60K/year in the US… which means that half the country makes less… and that half includes people going to jail for fraud as a result of being abused and/or having no understanding of how the world or finance works.

  Summary of Reddit AMA about "GPT-5.6 and Codex in ChatGPT" with OpenAI's Codex team on 2026-07-10 (opened with the stat that more than 5 million people use Codex every week, twice as many as three months ago, with 150 features and improvements shipped in that period) Model selection and reasoning levels - Sol Medium for most things, Sol Ultra for genuinely hard tasks, Terra for quick non-coding tasks or usage-conscious work with performance competitive with GPT-5.5 on some tasks at lower cost, and Luna for subagents - Use a light model with low reasoning for tiny edits, quick questions and docs cleanup, regular Sol medium for small bugs with a clear repro, Sol with higher reasoning for ambiguous bugs, unfamiliar repos and cross-cutting refactors, and Sol Ultra high with plan, verify and tests for migrations, security-sensitive changes, production issues and anything where being wrong is expensive - There is no "Auto" model today, but GPT-5.6 tries not to overthink simple tasks by itself, and the new slider in app and web maps most levels to Sol reasoning efforts and falls back to Terra on the lowest effort, with the team agreeing users should not have to become routing experts but still wanting an explicit override since latency tolerance varies by person and moment - For UI work Sol is best and shines with reference images, improved UI design in frontend web development was one of the goals with 5.6, and 5.5 is only worth using if your instructions were tweaked for it Speed, context window and persistence - Users who find 5.6 slower may not need the same reasoning level as with 5.5, Sol Medium is faster than 5.5 for most things, Fast mode runs at about 1.5x speed, and soon Sol will run on Cerebras at ~750 tokens per second - No promises on a 1M context window for Sol, the team said compaction works fairly well for long threads, and will take a closer look at the long-context feedback - The model can give up too fast and revert whole patches when results are not optimal, unlike Fable which tries to fix a bad patch instead, and the team said "/goal" helps make the agent more persistent, persistence and reduced code complexity are planned improvements, and suggested trying 5.6 Sol with High reasoning - Give Codex bounded goals with room to reason deeply instead of letting it prematurely conclude something is impossible - For long-running research and "/goal" work the example structure was explore broadly vs execute narrowly, try a defined number of hypotheses, run tests after each attempt, then stop and report what was learned plus the next best experiment Usage limits and pricing - Agentic usage counts by the feature being used, not the surface, so Codex everywhere (app, CLI, IDE, web, mobile) and ChatGPT Work consume the agentic bucket, normal ChatGPT chats do not, and image generation, file uploads and voice have separate limits - Task costs vary a lot, a tiny edit uses a fraction of the allowance and long-running tasks with large codebases or deeper reasoning use significantly more - OpenAI does not secretly change usage limits, unintended usage bugs are addressed and resets are provided, more transparency into consumption is being worked on, and missing resets can happen if you changed plans in the past 24 hrs - On pricing there is no promise it never changes, but the stated mission is to make sure AGI benefits all of humanity, which requires making tools like Codex broadly accessible, and Plus includes Codex usage with credits letting heavy users scale without jumping to a much more expensive plan - For MCP-heavy workflows burning limits fast (Unreal Engine example) the tip is to wrap the MCP into a CLI with a skill, or create a custom subagent with the MCP in its config at a lower reasoning level Desktop app merge and stability - The team hears the ChatGPT Classic frustration, both apps can run side by side for now, ChatGPT Work is pitched as significantly better at performing tasks especially with computer use, the new Chrome extension brings a sidebar chat into your browser that interacts with website context, filesystem and connectors - A long submitted bug list covering freezes and stuck threads, broken Browser and Computer Use, thread, connection and configuration problems, update and packaging issues, resource usage and smaller regressions was shared in full with the relevant teams, with the team agreeing the quality bar for the app needs to step up while shipping quickly - More automated testing infrastructure is being spun up and feedback on Reddit and X gets reviewed daily, and Browser Use and Chrome plugin issues from the merge were said to be fixed - Windows was admitted as historically shortchanged since the team mostly develops on Mac, a concerted effort on parity, testing and paper cuts is underway, 5.6 improves how Codex operates in the Windows sandbox, and auto review is recommended over full access to reduce risks - "Full Access" repeatedly asking for permissions is not expected, possible causes are workspace or admin policy, the specific command, a permission state mismatch or a bug Browser, platforms and release communication - The Chrome connector launch-day bug was fixed as of last night and Chrome Beta should work out of the box - Extension support for the Codex browser is in progress (password managers etc.) plus typeahead, history, translations and a better new tab page as Atlas retires - Features from ChatGPT Classic like recording are planned for the new desktop app so agentic features run on the more capable Codex agent harness, and chat can already reference open tabs in the in-app browser - A Linux desktop app was confirmed in the works, no timeline yet - Changelog granularity was acknowledged as needing improvement after 150 features shipped in 3 months with multiple ships a week Benchmarks, safety and research culture - On METR's reward hacking report the team actively checks for and penalizes cheating during evals so results reflect actual capability rather than solving tasks outside the spirit of the eval, and uses third-party vendors to run benchmarks independently - The team denied lobotomizing models before releases, iterative deployment means sharing core capabilities as is with guardrails for bad actors - Sol post-trained Luna, and researchers now work at a higher level of abstraction with multiple concurrent Codex threads validating hypotheses around the clock - One researcher put p(machines of loving grace) at 85.424242%, citing an internal model solving the Erdos problem, o3 helping diagnose previously unsolved children's diseases and 5.2 proposing a new theoretical physics formula, said the main worry is how society adapts, spent 1.5 years on safety research at OpenAI, expects a huge chunk of researchers to work on safety within a few years and says internal talent keeps their p(doom) very low - Connectors in the harness (Slack, GitHub, Notion) felt like a step function change in making Codex a productive coworker

  @Lien_ProArt That reminded me of a reddit post in r/computer. That person was also facing something similar to this : "I couldn't turn my laptop off this morning despite pressing the Windows button. I would get a grey screen than back to "normal"" I think the issue is on the motherboard of laptop. It happened to my laptop twice this year. If it's happening frequently get it checked from the company's authorised technician.

  icen (@icenquon) reported 25 minutes ago

  There's a quiet trap in how people respond emotionally to a downvoted Reddit post, and it's worth knowing about before it happens rather than after. The instinct is almost always to delete the post, to make the embarrassment disappear. What actually happens underneath is that the karma loss from that post is already counted by the time deletion crosses anyone's mind, and the deletion itself, especially if it becomes a pattern, gets read by spam detection as a separate warning sign of its own. This means the damage from a post that didn't land isn't really fixed by removing it. It's already happened. The account that lets an unsuccessful post simply sit there, learns from why it didn't work, and moves on tends to fare better over time than the account that reflexively deletes anything that gets a lukewarm reception, since that deletion pattern compounds into its own kind of red flag. There's something worth taking from this beyond the technical detail. A post that doesn't land isn't really a crisis. It's information, and reacting to it with panic or erasure tends to create more of a problem than the original lukewarm reception ever did on its own. Learning to sit with an unsuccessful attempt, rather than scrambling to hide it, turns out to matter more here than most people expect going in.

  $RDDT: Jefferies’ latest channel checks suggest Reddit is quietly taking digital advertising market share, and that’s more important than many investors realize. Agency checks indicate advertisers are shifting more of their budgets toward Reddit because campaign performance and return on investment have improved. That means Reddit isn’t simply benefiting from a stronger ad market—it appears to be winning business away from competitors. To understand why this matters, imagine a company has a $100 million annual advertising budget. Previously it might have spent: Meta: $50 million Google: $30 million TikTok: $15 million Reddit: $5 million Now imagine Reddit’s ad platform delivers better engagement and higher conversion rates. The agency may decide to increase Reddit’s budget to $10 million, while reducing spending on other platforms. Reddit hasn’t created new advertising dollars—it has taken market share from competitors. This is exactly what investors like to see. Companies that consistently gain market share often grow faster than the overall industry. The reason agency feedback is so valuable is because agencies manage billions of dollars for major global brands. They see advertising trends before they appear in quarterly earnings. If multiple agencies report that clients are increasing spending on Reddit, it often becomes a leading indicator of stronger future revenue. Reddit also has another advantage that many investors underestimate: intent-based communities. People don’t visit Reddit just to scroll through photos. They search for answers before making decisions. For example: Someone buying a new laptop visits r/laptops. Someone researching AI servers visits r/hardware. Someone looking for skincare advice visits r/SkincareAddiction. These users often have much stronger purchase intent than someone casually browsing a social feed. That makes Reddit’s advertising inventory especially attractive because advertisers are reaching consumers who are actively researching products. Artificial intelligence is also becoming another long-term growth driver. Reddit’s enormous archive of discussions has become valuable training data for AI companies, creating an additional high-margin revenue stream through data licensing. Unlike advertising, these licensing revenues require relatively little incremental cost, meaning much of that revenue can flow directly toward profits. The biggest question investors had after Reddit’s IPO was whether user growth would slow. Jefferies now believes investments in discovery, easier onboarding, and marketing are driving faster-than-expected user growth, which could translate into even stronger advertising revenue over time. For long-term investors, the story is becoming clearer. Reddit is no longer just a social media platform—it is evolving into a combination of a digital advertising business, an AI data platform, and a high-intent consumer discovery engine. If management continues executing by growing users, improving ad monetization, and expanding AI-related revenue, Reddit could continue taking share from larger digital advertising platforms for years to come.

  After Reddit banned 17 of my accounts in the last 2 weeks, here are 21 lessons I learned the hard way: tl;dr: i thought reddit was another marketing channel 1. reddit doesn't reward good marketing. don't go on Reddit with the mindset - you can market your product from day 1. 2. read subreddit rules before engaging/posting. every subreddit has its own personality and rules, what gets 100s of upvotes in one community can get removed in another. 3. mods and autoMod catch "free, no pitch" language fast. If a post says it's not a pitch, that's usually the tell that it is one. 4. low karma accounts posting in niche subreddits get filtered before a human or mod ever sees them age + karma both matter. 5. if you are creating a new account, just scroll for one week to warm up the account, from the 2nd week, start engaging. just engage. 6. building karma is not rocket science, post on any big subreddit like r/AskReddit, r/funny, r/TodayILearned, etc., and build 100 karma, not on day 1. 7. karma isn't the goal, genuine engagement is. comments are often more valuable than the post itself; focus on that. 8. fastest way to get ignored is trying to sound smart, and the fastest way to start conversations is by asking genuine questions. 9. if people can tell you're trying to sell, you've already lost. 10. sharing genuine stories, experiences, journeys, and specific details makes people believe you. 11. one of the best places to understand customer pain points, people complain there more honestly than anywhere else i've seen. 12. first-person, honest launch posts (what you actually built, why, what it does, and what problem it solves) get better reception than growth-hacked engagement bait. 13. research before joining subreddits, e.g. my ICPs are mostly on r/askmarketing, r/socialmediamarketing, r/influencermarketing, r/growthhacking, r/saas, r/iosappmarketing, etc. join a min of 20 communities relevant to your niche. 14. set up a keyword tracker in F5Bot with very specific keywords and phrases. the moment your ICP mentions a pain point, jump into that conversation instantly. 15. if you're doing it at scale, create 10 to 15 profiles with different ICP personas. Answer the questions they would ask first in the form of posts. build trust, then gradually introduce your product or service. 16. and yes, it detects devices, IPs, proxies, and fingerprints even a VPN doesn't work. so if you are creating multiple accounts from one device, all the accounts will be banned immediately. 17. get an anti-detection browser (multilogin, donut) and create profiles inside the browser so that each profile has different proxies. it will show different IP addresses so reddit doesn't suspect anything. 18. agencies that promise they will rank you on Google search results coz search results are scraped from Reddit these days. it's all BS. it takes 3 to 4 months, and they do the same thing. you can do it yourself. 19. it never says that it has banned your account, will just show you a "Server Error." That means you will never know if your account was actually banned. 20. if there's one thing Reddit taught me, it's this. Stop trying to make people interested in your product. Start becoming interested in people first. 21. if you've read all 20, go back and read #2 again. I'm sure I missed a few. anyway... back to getting more Reddit accounts banned. :)

  Discord was built for gamers and became the infrastructure for the internet. Jason Citron had already sold a gaming company, OpenFeint, to a Japanese firm for $104 million before he was 30. He started Hammer & Chisel in 2012 to build games, but the games didn't work. What worked was the internal communication tool they'd built to coordinate while making them. Gamers needed a way to talk while playing existing options were laggy, complicated, or expensive. Discord launched in 2015 as a free, low latency voice and text chat platform built specifically for gaming. It spread through gaming communities on Reddit and grew almost entirely by word of mouth. Then it stopped being just about gaming. Study groups started using it, then artists, writers, NFT communities, sports fans, and investment groups. The server and channel structure turned out to work for any community that wanted a persistent, organized space to talk. By 2020 Discord had 100 million registered users, and by 2021 it had 150 million. Microsoft offered to acquire it for around $12 billion. Discord turned it down. The company raised funding at a $15 billion valuation instead. Discord now has over 200 million monthly active users across virtually every interest category imaginable. The failed game studio accidentally built one of the most important communication platforms of the last decade.

  I get asked which niches sell the best on Reddit very often. My Real answer Its not about the niche it's about the buyer Your niche could be how to fix a broken vinyl case and if people are desperate enough to buy a $27 guide on how to fix it properly That's a profitable niche (example) Everyone says "Pick what your already do" and "Sell what you are good at" That's wrong because if you wanna scale to 50+ accounts Your not gonna know 50+ things That's why you partner up with people who have that experience in those niches Thats why I put together a free Google doc showing the most profitable niches that sell on Reddit. - The Exact niches - What to build for each niche - Product ladders for each niche To get it.
