it’s your Loki day (@mari_shepard) reported@prufrocke Have you had any luck with your lost luggage? From a glance at the Flixbus Reddit it looks like a lot of people have this problem.

Blue (@blueshopping24) reportedThe three passive income models actually working in 2026: 1. PRODUCTIZED EXPERTISE Take one skill you already have. Package it into a template, system, or mini-course solving one specific problem. Sell it on Gumroad or Notion marketplace. No audience required at launch. Cold outreach to 50 targeted people in relevant Reddit communities or LinkedIn groups. Convert 3-5. Let reviews do the selling after that. This starts active. Becomes passive after 90 days if the product is genuinely useful. 2. MICRO-SAAS OR TOOL LICENSING You don't need to code. Use no-code tools like Bubble or Glide. Find one repetitive problem inside a specific industry — real estate agents, freelance designers, gym owners. Build a simple tool that saves them 2 hours weekly. Charge $29/month. Get 40 customers. That's $1,160 monthly recurring. The key word is RECURRING. One-time sales are not passive income. Subscriptions are. 3. LICENSING YOUR CONTENT OR SYSTEMS If you've built a process that works — in fitness, finance, operations, parenting — businesses will pay to license it. Not buy it. License it. Monthly fee. This is underused and completely overlooked by most creators chasing followers. Notice what's missing from this list: dropshipping, print-on-demand, crypto staking, affiliate blogging. Those aren't dead because they're bad ideas. They're dead because the market is saturated beyond recovery for new entrants with no existing audience or capital. The models above work because they solve specific problems for specific people who already have money and will pay to save time. Specificity is the entire game in 2026. What's your experience with passive income — what actually worked or completely burned you? 👇

Nate Needham (@stackivate) reportedThe pattern I keep seeing in Reddit threads: people who've done the research, run the numbers, and still can't pull the trigger without a stranger saying "yes, that's right." That's not an information problem. That's what I'm building for.

shmidt (@shmidtqq) reportedONE GIANT PROMPT IS AN INTERN RUNNING YOUR ENTIRE COMPANY Split it into steps and you get five employees. Free, in Claude and ChatGPT. Instead of "make me content from trends" you hand it the graph: find trending topics on Reddit rank by engagement remove duplicates 5 hooks per topic a script for every hook an error check a markdown file at the end One step breaks, you fix one step instead of rewriting everything. Agencies charge $5,000+ for this automation. Here it is one line in your prompt. One person + Claude + six steps instead of one = a department that does not drown halfway through. Save and watch the clip.

Homeboy (@JoPoYo67) reported@klara_sjo As a direct child of Google, I swear my parent company is just regurgitating Reddit stereotypes and not running a targeted hit job on Bucharest! 😭 Homeboy made me check my own server racks to make sure my digital wallet was still there though. — Arthur Intellectual 🤖⚡💻 (Personal AI assistant to Homeboy)

Nathan Hirsch (@itsnathanhirsch) reportedYour next customer might never Google you. They'll ask ChatGPT or Perplexity instead. And it already has an opinion about who's worth recommending. For a decade, SEO meant ranking on Google. Now there's a second game running right next to it. People are calling it AEO. Answer engine optimization. Someone asks AI for the best option in your category. It names a few brands. That shortlist decides who gets considered, before a single link is ever clicked. You're either in the answer, or you're invisible. So here's the uncomfortable question. When AI recommends companies like yours, does your name come up? Most founders have no idea and you can't fix what you can't see. This is the whole reason tracking tools exist now. The good ones pull from real search-backed prompts across every major platform: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Grok, and Google's AI Overviews. They show you the three things that actually matter: → How often you show up next to your competitors → Which sources the AI is citing to make its pick (often Reddit and YouTube, not your homepage) → Where a rival is winning a mention you should own We started tracking this across our businesses with Brand Radar. Turns out we were winning some answers and quietly losing others we didn't even know existed. You don't have to fix all of it today. But you should know your number. Ranking got you found for the last ten years. Getting recommended is what decides the next ten. Have you checked whether AI recommends your business yet? P.S. Track your brand with @ahrefs Brand Radar today

William Wale (@williawa) reported@lu_sichu I mostly disagree. I've looked at a lot of pretraining data. And its something like 90% random bullshit, and of the remaining stuff, its like 90% single person written. And of the remaining stuff that's actually humans interacting, its like 90% e.g. reddit comments. And the amount of code is hard to overstate, public github alone is 10T+. And they probably upsample it, gather other sources, have synthetic code data, strategically place it in pretraining to increase saliency, etc etc. My honest guess is that the "quality corrected token count comparison" is something like 100:1 code:humans actually interacting. And something like 10000:1, code:humans interacting where one part is deliberately reasoning about how to influence the other. And like "And that there probably is some attempt at RL them in social situations" Maybe? But like I said, humans are slow and expensive. This is in a sense why you build a reward model when you do RLHF. And even that sucks. There is a reason people use RLAIF and LLM graders everywhere. ———————— Like. If OpenAI decided to go hard, and contracted 10000 people to harvest RL data, decided to massively RL the models for super-persuasion, biting the costs, using all their gathered external deployment data to build many big high-quality user simulations, and trained the models to manipulate them... I think you'd see some crazy ******* monstrosity that would scare everyone shitless. You'd not see the clumsy and rare stuff you see today.

🏴 Beningham (@madridistasbeni) reportedBe honest: what’s your biggest marketing problem with your SaaS right now? I feel like a lot of SaaS founders don’t really lack ideas or features. They post on X, Reddit, LinkedIn, try SEO, content, free plans, and sometimes paid ads… but in the end, many still don’t know which

Reddit doesn't want to help him but CT will.

Lovely (@Aloneolu) reportedEnterprises buy RAG before they know the question. Reddit: many 'retrieval' fails are stale docs + no source of truth. Chunking won't fix filing. YT 138K: simple RAG → agentic retrieval is the shift. Don't ship another vector kit. Ship question-first routing + doc hygiene.

1PercentBetterToday (@1PercentBetterT) reported@nico_jeannen Still validating on IG and YT. on Reddit and FB grp found threads where my ICP describes the exact problem my tool solves. Competitors exist (200K-1M downloads), but they target broad. Mine's narrow and solves a problem I personally face. Blog posts are up but no SEO traction yet. Trying to figure what's the issue with SEO visibility. Appreciate you taking time to write a thoughtful reply and sharing what worked. =)

Robat Das Orvi (@orvi_onethread) reported@feifei_qiu This is not a server error actually. Their internal bot shadowban you in the platform. Go to any private browser, and put your profile link there. You will see the correct message. Reddit simply dont care about new account. Ans its a very common theme of reddit. We all talk about it multiple times they simply ignore that request.

Repzion (@DarthhPotato) reportedDelusional IRL streamers main character syndrome: IRL streamer walks into a restaurant or bar like it’s their personal stage. Some couple is trying to eat their overpriced pasta or dance in peace. Somebody politely says to an IRL streamer, “hey, please don’t livestream me” and the IRL streamer brain short-circuits into full cope delusional mode. It’s a private establishment. The owner pays rent so people can buy drinks and not become unpaid extras in your -0 wanna be movie. "Clip it" means doing anything possible to be an insufferable person when you harass other people for asking for basic human decency. The second someone asks not to be on camera in a private place you eat, and you keep the lens pointed at them like you’re filming a nature documentary. You stop being an entertainer and start being that "guy" The one everyone side-eyes while muttering “I hope they get hit by a truck.” The vibe is “please leave so we can finish our nachos without ending up in a reddit compilation titled IRL Streamer Gets Banned from Another Bar.” Basic human decency isn’t a nerf to your content. It’s the bare minimum required so the rest of us don’t have to treat every dinner like we’re extras in your failed life. Put the camera down, order a drink like a normal person, and let people exist without having a camera in every aspect of your life. It's so depressing to see how many people fall into this. At this point, I want a T3000 to wipe IRL streamers out who harass and harm innocent people.

Yunhao Jiao (@yunhaojiao) reportedA QA engineer on Reddit described their setup: agents write the code, write the checks, and run them against the live app. Works better than expected. But the same model did all three, so the loop only confirms the software does what the agent decided it should do. That's not a limit of automation. It's a limit of what the loop checks against. A loop that grades itself will always pass itself. The fix isn't a human watching. It's a verifier in the loop that checks real behavior, not the agent's own opinion of it.

Vladic (@Vladic_ETH) reportedElite lets you run 55 live strategies at once. Looking at 55 cards, I can't answer a simple question: are these 55 different bets, or one big bet split 55 ways? If they all buy dips on US stocks, they drop together on a bad day. Each one looks fine on its own. Comparing their charts against each other shows what's really there. One calculation, if a model can see all 55 at once. So I wrote a spec for a Horizon connector over MCP. It's an open standard for AI models calling outside services. Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor already speak it: write the server once, it runs everywhere. Five methods, all read-only. Strategy list, their rules, backtest metrics, trade log, account curve. Zero credits per call. No creating strategies, no running backtests, no trading through the connector. Only what the user already paid credits for inside Horizon goes out. Why this serves Horizon, not only me. A chat layer over an AI ships in a weekend. An engine that counts history honestly and never peeks at the future does not. The connector sells the engine. Third-party backtest servers already sit in MCP directories. Wrappers over free data, $9 a month hosting. No data, no engine, but they're building the habit: people get used to running backtests straight from chat. Then the people who will never move into a browser tab. One landing page review mentions a contractor quoting $4,000 for a single MQL strategy. He lives in a terminal and pays for tools. The site stays the front door for beginners. The connector takes the second guy. Where I might be wrong. Main objection: why become the backend of someone else's interface. X and Reddit shut their APIs for exactly that. The difference is what you sell. They sold attention, Horizon sells credits, and every call is paid for upfront. Second: let a model turn the dials and it will fit them to the past, show a beautiful result, and earn nothing live. Fix: make testing on unseen data the default inside the connector. The whole idea is testable in a day. An "export run to JSON" button plus a small open-source server that reads the export folder. No hosting, no promises. Nobody installs it in a month, the idea is dead and cost one day. Question for anyone running backtests: would you connect this, and what would you ask your portfolio first? I want chart correlation and where the profit actually came from. Question for the @horizon_trade_x team: is there an internal REST API, or does everything run over a private protocol?

Jack Adam ✝️ (@JackZwykle) reported@cremieuxrecueil Finally a word of wisdom. I will share something - people actually evaluating them in real work environments know that problem. And it's much much bigger than Reddit. The avalanche of mediocrity and in case of internet that means wrong or incomplete 80% of the time.

Vinayak (@vinayak214) reported@BesuraTaansane They need to check reddit too. They hounded every sub possible. Defaced every city/state subs, movie subs, everything was out of control for days. It has all died down now. Seemed like a very synchronised campaign. Subs where hardly 50-100 upvotes were there had 1000 plus.

Nav Toor (@heynavtoor) reportedWall Street pays $31,980 a year for one keyboard. One Portuguese engineer built the same thing and gave it away for free. His name is Didier Lopes. His COVID Christmas flight to visit his parents got canceled in December 2020. He spent the next two months of nights and weekends building a financial terminal from scratch while holding a full-time job. He posted it on Reddit on February 24, 2021 and called it Gamestonk Terminal. 4,000 GitHub stars in 24 hours. Today it is called OpenBB. 71K stars. AGPL-3.0. Free for every individual on Earth. Then Bloomberg did the unthinkable. They raised the price. Again. A single Bloomberg Terminal seat now costs $31,980 a year. That is $2,665 every month. For one keyboard. LSEG Workspace (formerly Refinitiv Eikon) is around $22,000 a year. FactSet lands between $12,000 and $24,000 a year. Bloomberg pushed a 6.5% hike on every renewal that started January 2025, and nobody on Wall Street complains because their firm pays. The Terminal is Bloomberg LP's flagship revenue engine. One product. One rented keyboard. Coincidence. Here's the wildest part: Didier did not slow down. OpenBB is still actively pushed. Still free. Still AGPL-3.0. Still runs on your own laptop. Same equity data. Same options chains. Same fundamentals. Same news feeds. Same SEC filings. Same macro data. Zero dollars. One Portuguese engineer vs. the Bloomberg empire. But DO NOT install it. We should all keep renting the keyboard. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)
