    Someone asked on Reddit: what's the most annoying problem in this industry that money can actually fix? The answers: 1. Backups and your own site. A cloud backup plus a hard drive, and a personal link page you fully control 2. An accountant. Plenty of creators said they save money on top of the time 3. An analytics or CRM tool. Real insight into what performs and where traffic comes from 4. Better gear. Good lighting means less content getting deleted for looking off 5. A takedown service. Tracking down leaks yourself gets overwhelming fast 6. Faster internet. Cheap fix but big difference What would you add?

    never been a time more than now where governments have been cracking down on access to nsfw content and yet still I was on reddit the other day (ew) and some guy posted gore to a roblox sub bc he thought the sub was a gore sub 🥹 it feels like a guarantee to see bad stuff atp

    @tracewoodgrains These problems seem to vary from one iteration of a model to the next. I've developed a lot of these strategies to avoid triggering the safety policies that were necessary on one model at one time, but may or may not still be. Reminds me of trying not to get banned on reddit.

    By the way, for one of my international affiliate websites, there is a huge postive of Reddit dropping from ChatGPT. It used to recommend a competitor, that had an ugly broken website, but it had an entire subreddit and ChatGPT was recommending it. For the last 3 days, I am netting again $100/day and that's the only change that happened - Reddit disappearing from ChatGPT. I will take a look at the queries this weekend to see where my website stands in ChatGPT.

    I used to think “agents in group chats” were a gimmick. Now I think the bigger problem is that too much strategy still lives in my head, and too many useful skills are too messy or sensitive to share cleanly. That’s what changed my mind. I’m starting to think a multiagent should become the default workspace for our growth team. Not because Slack or gmail are unusable. They’re just very good at holding messages, and not that good at holding work. What I actually want is one place where people can @ my Codex directly to ask positioning and strategy questions. A lot of the time the problem is not execution. It’s that people are operating on slightly different versions of what I want. For example, yesterday Mengyao and Alisa pulled me into a meeting to ask what I meant by doing a small creator push for OK eight. My expectation was not “go broad.” It was really 2 different motions: - pure volume: find cheap AI creators at scale - deep collaboration: work with a very small number of creators, but go deep on content, including interviews, reaction videos, and co-created content That kind of nuance gets lost constantly if the only interface is “ask Monica in a meeting.” And honestly, I also forget to sync strategy changes fast enough. Sometimes I change my mind on priorities, or realize an angle is wrong, or want to shift the goal slightly, and I just forget to tell everyone in time. Then different people are working off different versions of the strategy. Nothing is fully broken, but the team drifts. I also want the group to automatically turn the past week of work into a real weekly report. I’ve tried asking people to write trackers before, and it’s painful for everyone. Not everyone is trained to produce polished internal docs, and more importantly, they shouldn’t have to spend time doing that just to prove work happened. What I actually want from a weekly report is: - what worked - what didn’t - what content performed unusually well - whose priorities are off - where output quality is weak - which direction feels wrong That should be inferred from the work, not manually reconstructed afterward. Then there’s the skill-sharing problem. Some of the most useful internal skills are hard to share directly because they expose too much. Sometimes sharing a deep skill means exposing keys. Sometimes it means exposing messy internal setup. Sometimes it’s just too complicated to package cleanly. I built a pretty complex video editing skill recently, and it made this very obvious. In theory I want that capability to be reusable. In practice, sharing it cleanly is hard, and sharing it carelessly is dangerous. I also keep running into a simpler but equally stupid problem: the context already exists somewhere, but I forget to attach it. For example, Mengyao ran a Reddit reply test recently, and the doc from that experiment has a huge amount of signal in it. It could shape product direction, growth direction, and a lot of downstream decisions. But when I’m talking to Codex about strategy, I still sometimes forget to include it. That is such a stupid failure mode. I used to think “agents in group chats” were a toy. Now I increasingly think a lot of teams do not need a smarter agent first. They need a workspace where the agent is already sitting inside the context, absorbing strategy changes as they happen, and using the shared work without everyone manually re-explaining it. We’re going to test this internally for real. I’ll report back next month with what worked, what was annoying, and what turned out to be fake.

    @eliana_jordan @kwawmannanjnr a major problem for sure. Paypal is not known for robust dispute practices and they don't claim to be. If your first time to Egypt... sucks but this is not abnormal for Red Sea excursions. Unless you have strong connections with people in the region refrain from putting yourself in risky situations like this in the future. Its a painful experience and not comfy at all. sucks. Reddit, trip advisor are your friend.

    @stan100x @JoeNezitic Hope you’re right. Just speaking for myself I use Reddit less but whenever I am on Reddit I find the content richer and more nuanced than chatgpt. I guess the issue is not if Reddit will be completely replaced but rather how much of it will be replaced

    What "user acquisition" actually looks like as a solo founder: - 08:00 — Read 3 Reddit threads in my niche. Reply usefully. No product mention. - 12:30 — Send 3 DMs to people who posted about my problem this week. - 14:00 — Comment on 5 posts from bigger accounts in my space. - 18:00 — Reply to every comment on my own post from today. - 21:00 — Personally email 1 user who signed up in the last 48h. That's roughly an hour of work. Every day. #BuildInPublic #SaaS

    Most of the comments I've been getting about UserTapes on Reddit are about "how session replays are for bugs" Don't get me wrong, they are invaluable when it comes to surfacing them and being able to repro them But honestly as a PM I care little for bugs in my replays because they're generally trivial things. They're the easy things to fix! The $$$ is in user behaviour. How they interact with your product. Their actions, habits, choices, etc. Every feature you build is a hypothesis of some user behaviour and the replay is the evidence that proves or disproves it

    Researching FAILED solutions is so important bc if you hit the right one your ad instantly becomes 10x more relevant. Bc you’re basically describing the journey your customer already went through BEFORE finding you. I like to research 3 levels: 1. Direct competitors Products that promise the SAME outcome as yours. Research: > competitor reviews > competitor Amazon reviews > 1-3 star reviews > Reddit threads > ad comments Find WHY ppl stopped using them / what disappointed them. 2. Alternative solutions Different products/methods used to solve the SAME problem. Hair growth example: > supplements > oils > shampoos > expensive treatments Find what your ICP already tried + WHY it didn’t solve the problem. 3. DIY / behavioral solutions Things ppl try themselves before even buying a product. > changing diet > routines/habits > home remedies > “just living with it” Search Reddit, FB groups, Quora + forums using EXACT symptom/problem keywords. Then use those failed solutions inside your copy: “I tried X…” “Then I tried Y…” “But nothing worked bc Z…” > introduce ROOT CAUSE > explain your DIFFERENT mechanism > introduce your solution The better you understand what they tried BEFORE you… The easier it becomes to explain WHY your solution is different.

    The diesel truck market operates by inverted logic. In every other segment of the automotive market, newer is worth more. More technology is worth more. More horsepower is worth more. Diesel trucks reverse all three rules. The 2007.5 LMM Duramax makes 397 HP and 765 lb-ft 37 more HP and 115 more lb-ft than the LBZ. It uses the same Allison 1000 six-speed automatic. Same frame. Same cab. Same suspension. One model year newer. Significantly more powerful. And it sells for approximately half the price of an equivalent-condition LBZ. A 2006 LBZ crew cab short bed 4×4 with 150,000 miles commands $25,000 to $45,000 depending on condition. A 2008 LMM with the same mileage and condition sells for $15,000 to $25,000. The truck with less horsepower is worth more. Because it doesn't have a diesel particulate filter. The DPF is the dividing line in diesel truck culture. Before 2007, diesel trucks exhausted soot into the atmosphere the black smoke that rolled out of a Cummins or Duramax under hard acceleration was unburned carbon particles exiting the tailpipe. The EPA mandated diesel particulate filters starting in 2007 to trap that soot. The DPF captures carbon particles in a ceramic honeycomb filter and periodically burns them off through a "regeneration" cycle that injects extra fuel into the exhaust stream to raise temperatures above 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Regeneration happens automatically, usually during highway driving, and the driver may not notice it. But the DPF creates maintenance costs that pre-2007 trucks don't have: filter cleaning or replacement at $1,500 to $3,000, temperature sensors that fail, injector fouling from the extra fuel used during regeneration, and turbocharger contamination from carbon buildup. An LBZ owner never thinks about DPF regeneration. The component doesn't exist on the truck. The maintenance cost is zero. The failure risk is zero. The cultural resistance runs deeper than maintenance costs. Diesel truck owners view emissions equipment the way muscle car owners view catalytic converters as a government-mandated restriction that reduces performance, adds complexity, and interferes with the fundamental character of the vehicle. The LBZ represents the last moment before that restriction arrived. It's the diesel equivalent of the 1970 LS6 Chevelle the last high-performance version before regulations changed everything. Owners who bought LBZ trucks new in 2006 and 2007 understood this instinctively: they were buying the last unrestricted Duramax. Reddit users in the Duramax community call the 2006 4×4 crew cab short bed LBZ "the holy grail of Duramax trucks." Owners report 314,000 miles on daily drivers that still tow fifth-wheel campers without issue. The emotional attachment is to the simplicity an engine that makes 360 HP, tows 12,000 pounds, and requires nothing more complicated than oil changes, fuel filter replacements, and occasional injector cleaning. GM reportedly made approximately 350K LBZ engines across the eighteen-month production window. That's not a rare engine. The LBZ's value isn't driven by scarcity it's driven by retention. Owners won't sell them. A truck that runs 300,000 miles on regular maintenance and doesn't have a DPF to fail is a truck the owner keeps until the frame rusts through. The supply of available LBZ trucks shrinks every year not because they're being scrapped but because they're being kept. The ones that do appear on the used market command premiums because the buyer pool is larger than the seller pool. Every diesel enthusiast who missed the window between January 2006 and June 2007 is competing for trucks that the current owners have no financial incentive to sell. A $40K truck with 150K miles is worth more today than it sold for new in 2006 one of the only vehicles in America that has appreciated in value over eighteen years of use. The LBZ didn't gain value because it became more powerful. It gained value because everything that followed became more complicated.

    If I had to find the first 100 users for a new SaaS, I wouldn’t start by posting everywhere I’d spend the first few hours doing this: 1. Search for the exact problem on Reddit, X, Google, and YouTube 2. Find people already complaining about it 3. Write down where those conversations keep happening 4. Copy the exact words people use to describe the problem 5. Look at where similar products are already getting attention 6. Pick ONE channel with the strongest signal 7. Start talking to people there The goal isn’t to be everywhere It’s to find where people already care enough about the problem

    @RobHoffman_ I don't think it's as simple as "verified person (e.g. on LinkedIn) = more authority/credibility, less slop = better positioning in Google or visibility in AI." There's a reason Reddit has historically performed so well in Google/AI (and continues to overall). Human conversation can satisfy search intent extremely well, and I think that's partly because of the anonymity, the "rawness" of human beliefs expressed, which can get blurred when people's identities are present. There are also studies showing Reddit has less AI-generated content than LinkedIn, X, etc., believe it or not, despite obviously having a bot problem. If an anonymous Reddit post genuinely satisfies the query better than a verified person posting generic content on LinkedIn, I'd expect the Reddit post to "win." So I don't think it's black and white. Identity, accountability, credentials, etc. can all be useful quality signals, especially for YMYL, but they're still just signals. My personal opinion is that the drop in Reddit citations in ChatGPT could be more about reducing dependence on Reddit... (maybe cause the current licensing deal is expiring soon). LinkedIn also dropped significantly in ChatGPT, just not nearly as much.
