Reeses (@MauriceDSA) reportedDiscord has a server browser, reddit has been adding tons of dumb **** to look shiny to investors, same goes for discord, when they IPO at 100 or whatever and then are 5 bucks a year later. I don’t believe in the third spaces excuse (entirely), but it is true everywhere now.

Duke Stratosphere (@Duke_Stratosphr) reported@by_annaralphs Nowadays, people are so used to phone quality content, that when they see stunning, professionally shot photography, they assume it's AI. As a mod of many NSFW Reddit subs (including yours!) I often see people saying totally legit content is AI. This is a serious education issue.

Parth (@0xParthVora) reportedposted on reddit last month. 1.1k views. 36% of it came from the US. sitting in india, running ads or building an audience that reaches american users is expensive and slow. on reddit i just found the right subreddit and posted something useful. nobody cares where you're posting from there. the post either solves someone's problem or it doesn't. X and instagram make you build an audience first, @reddit lets you borrow one that already exists. underrated channel for anyone in india trying to reach a western audience.

🗿⚜️🇺🇸Cajun Mike, local swamp man✝️⚜️🗿 (@CajunMike1985) reportedKnights of the Old Republic II. and that’s Kreia and all the **** riding that gets tossed her way. I’m sorry but every time I see some video essay, or reddit thread or tweet thread about her and her “””””philosophy”””””; I want to grab the person and shake them like a baby while staring them down screaming “SHE’S A SITH!!!!!”

Multiple Reddit threads having same issue. No response.@nikgeneburn

YaboiJosh (@joshisyaboi) reported@TruthFairy131 The /brisbane reddit is totally unable to comprehend this. They’re blaming church on this and trying to pretend it’s a group of white kids who did it We aren’t going to fix this problem until we address the radicals who get in the way of stopping it

Prashant (@lifedesignshare) reportedLooking for suggestions Most of the marketing advice on x is either SEO or Reddit. But when your product is new, you need users to gather feedback and iterate. focussing on SEO is a bit long term and reddit is a slow burner. What do you think works at early stages? What i’m trying: direct cold outreach and launch platforms (since my product is for indie founders)

Eren yeager (@thelegendofpeac) reported@BasedRudyS The first person to discover this plot twist was a user on Reddit; they noted that one of the two stories takes place in a realistic world, while the other is set in a supernatural one. However, the problem is that I cannot tell which world belongs to Isayama and which to Araki.

Richard Illingworth (@RCIllingworth) reportedone of our customer's campaigns dropped from a 4% reply rate → 0.87% without a single word of copy changing. the only thing that different: the inboxes he sent from. (the exact setup we use to land in Primary, after 2,000+ deployments, free) he'd spent WEEKS convinced it was the copy. → he rewrote the hook and ran 5 spintax variants per line → he tested new angles, new senders, restructured the whole email nothing moved. so we split his 24 mailboxes in half and ran a placement check. turns out, 70% were sitting in spam. the copy was NEVER the problem. and for most folks, no amount of rewriting fixes an email that can’t actually reach the human inbox. the worst part is you can't see this happening. • your sequencer will say "delivered" • open rate will look fine (a junk number btw) • and your reply rate slowly declines over a few weeks while you have ZERO idea what changed the ONLY reliable sign you're actually in the primary inbox is an out-of-office reply. you physically can't get one from spam. so after 2,000+ cold email infra deployments... …i put the exact technical setup we use to land in primary into one free checklist. inside: 1. the genuine reasons your emails hit spam, and why Reddit gets them wrong 2. a 60-second deliverability diagnostic you run before you touch your copy 3. the 4-checkpoint pre-send framework we run on every account 4. the domain and DNS setup checklist (SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX all configured right) 5. the two-lane provider strategy for splitting Google and Outlook 6. the warmup and volume protocol (2 weeks at 15-20 sends a day, the 6-week rule is a myth) 7. a one-page infrastructure quick reference you can screenshot we've used this EXACT framework on over 570,000+ inbox deployments. trust me, it works. PS repost this and i'll also send you the 60-second placement test you can run on your own accounts today, no tools required.

Anthony Showalter (@santhonys) reportedCatalyst two: Reddit is suing Anthropic over the same data. 100,000+ unauthorized server accesses, per the complaint. Anthropic lost its bid to move the case to federal court, the judge has signaled it won't be dismissed, and Anthropic separately settled a copyright case for $1.5B in July. I'm sure Anthropic would prefer to settle this before the S-1 disclosure for their IPO in next 60 days. Long RDDT, GOOGL, and Anthropic exposure (hoping everyone to come to terms to reduce risk and unlock value).

zack (@whotfiszackk) reportedfound a guy clearing $44k/month with zero original content. i met him at a car service center. waiting room. plastic chairs. bad coffee. a tv playing the news nobody was watching. he was on his laptop. i assumed he was doing emails. i glanced over. he was on twitter. not scrolling. reading. specifically he was reading a reddit thread, copying something into a doc, then switching to another tab and doing something with it. i watched him do this 4 times in 12 minutes. i asked what he was building. he looked up. closed the laptop halfway. then opened it again and turned it toward me. a gumroad dashboard. $44,200 last month. i asked him what he sold. "nothing i made." here is exactly what he was doing. he ran 6 faceless pages. each one in a different niche. freelancers. landlords. bookkeepers. contractors. career switchers. personal finance. none of them had his face. none of them had his name. none of them had a single piece of content he had written from scratch. every post on every page came from one of three sources. source 1: reddit threads. he scanned 7 subreddits every week. when he found a thread with 500+ upvotes and angry comments he opened it. read every comment. took the most specific ones. ran them through claude with one prompt: "turn this comment into a tweet that describes this exact situation without mentioning a product. practical, specific, no motivation." 30 seconds per tweet. the original commenter wrote the insight. claude formatted it for twitter. he scheduled it. zero original thought required. source 2: high-performing posts from other pages in the niche. not copying. remixing. he tracked 10 accounts in each niche. when a post hit above 500 likes he noted the structure. the hook format. the problem angle. the specific situation it addressed. then he prompted claude: "write a tweet using this structure but for this specific niche and this specific buyer." same structure. different niche. different product. different audience. technically original. practically a remix of what already worked. source 3: his own product reviews. every 4.8 star review on his gumroad listings was content. the buyer described their specific situation in the review. that situation became a tweet. "you just got your first late rent notice and you don't know what the legal process looks like. this is exactly what it says and exactly what you do next." that tweet came from a landlord who bought his toolkit and left a review describing their situation. the buyer wrote the content. he just repackaged it. the products he was selling. none of them were his ideas either. every product came from the most common complaint in the relevant subreddit. he found the complaint. he pasted the thread into claude. claude built a 6,000–7,000 word guide. he read it, edited 10%, formatted it in canva. listed it on gumroad. 6 products. 6 pages. each one solving a problem he had never personally experienced. the freelance pricing guide: he had never freelanced. the landlord operations toolkit: he had never owned a rental property. the bookkeeper pricing guide: he had never worked in bookkeeping. he found the pain. AI built the solution. the audience bought it. i asked him how long it took to build all 6. he said the first one took a full weekend. by the sixth one it took an afternoon. i asked how much time he spent on it now. he said about 90 minutes a week across all 6 pages. 22 minutes reading VA reports. 30 minutes reviewing flagged content. the rest checking stripe. i asked how many VAs he had. two. $840/month combined. on $44,200/month in revenue. 1.9% of revenue going to the people running the operation. the rest arriving without him. the car service finished before we were done talking. his name was called. he closed the laptop. stood up. "the content was never the hard part," he said. "finding the problem was the hard part. everything else is just packaging." he picked up his keys and left. i sat in that plastic chair for another 10 minutes thinking about how many people are spending months trying to create original content. building a personal brand. developing a unique voice. trying to say something nobody has said. while this guy was in a car service center on a tuesday afternoon packaging other people's pain into products that sold while he waited for an oil change. zero original content. $44,200/month. and a VA handling the parts that didn't require him. the content was never the product. the problem was the product. the content was just the packaging. the full system is inside AI HUB dm me "HUB" to get the access

Authoress_Rosy_library (@Rosylibrary_1) reported@JCFights A very interesting short story: My Fiancée Left Me 4days Before Our Wedding To Go "FIND HIMSELF" In Asia. I'm Blindsided, Heartbroken and Mortified. What The H*ll Do I Do Now? My fiance (Jack) and I have been together for 4 years. We own an apartment together, we rarely argue. It was the happiest, least problematic relationship I've ever been in. I don't understand. He proposed to me last year, and we've spent the last 9 months saving relentlessly for our wedding. Venue booked, guests all invited, both of us were so excited. I know we both individually had some bouts of nervousness, especially as the date got closer. But as far as I know it was just the excitement and build up. Jack never expressed any doubts about our relationship and I have no idea why this has happened. Yesterday: Four days to go and I come out of the bedroom in the morning to see Jack sat in the living room looking like he's about to throw up. I immediately feel something is off. He sits me down and starts telling me he doesn't "feel the same anymore and hasn't for a while". He said he thought getting married might fix things but he now knows how stupid that is. To be honest I don't remember the majority of what he said, the only thing I could hear was my heartbeat drumming in my ears. He then told me he'd booked a one way ticket to Asia and that he didn't know what he wanted anymore out of life and that this would give him some "perspective". And just like that, he got up and left and I haven't heard a word from him since. I must have spent about 3 hours sat on the sofa staring into space. I can't even cry. This doesn't feel real. Reddit, what ******** do I do now? He's switched his phone off, I have no idea where he is. I don't even know if he's actually booked a ticket, but a lot of his clothes are missing. He's actually packed for a trip but I just don't know if this some sort of sick joke I feel like my heart has been ripped out from my chest. What do I tell people? What do I do? Where do I start?

Churtle💀👻Gheist PNGTuber (@ChurtleVT) reported@EverTrua_TTV After reading through all of this… it’s kind of insane. Like witnessing the downward spiral of a reddit edge lord. I don’t know what would befall someone to behave in such a depraved manor and try to drag other’s greedily into their personal issues to victim share. Disturbing…

Vulnerable U (@vuln_u) reportedReddit claimed there was more going on, like a fake login page, Google credential harvesting, a Wi-Fi Pineapple, agents waiting at the gate. None of that has been confirmed. There was a rogue Wi-Fi network and reported interference with Delta’s onboard Wi-Fi.
-
Mack (@Masterhunter95) reported@OffenseTaker4 @reddit_lies and do you think predditors posted/upvoted this for that reason? **** no. a simple mistake doesn't get 11k upvotes. they upvoted it because they want to believe so badly that it was a deliberate choice. this is the equivalent of posting someone using a handicap bathroom stall. it's a complete non issue. but if the person using the handicap stall was wearing a maga hat, suddenly it's front page reddit.

The Explainer (@GreenHaze4Real) reported@WhiteHouse @DHSgov shut reddit down. I'll be doing a explainer on it some time soon. But it is a far left ideological echo chamber with many nefarious subbreddits and subbredditors. If the fight is against communism they cannot be allowed to have a safe space.

SuperTrucker 🚛💨→💻 (@supertrucker) reportedWhat people voted for: mass deportations, corporate executives caught using illegal immigrant labor having their company assets seized and shut down, the hammer coming down hard and swift. What people got: quirk chungus millennial-core heckin’ Reddit based memes bacon.

Mist 💜💙 (@EtherealMist124) reported@MisterBeePriv I just saw a reddit post saying people who want a more streamlined experience are like genwunners in pokemon and need to accept the series has "moved on". I'm losing my mind at the toxic casual problem the series has. People can like what they want but I don't have to like it

John (@hello_code_) reported@13_narcissus Real customer access beats audience size every time. Reddit surfaces the same signal, people describing painful problems in the open, but you have the receipts.

YUBIT (@YUBIT_Exchange) reported$RDDT is joining the S&P 500 before the open on Aug 18. 🚀 The stock jumped more than 12% premarket after the news. But index inclusion is only part of the story. 👇 📈 Q2 revenue: $805M, +61% YoY 💰 EPS: $1.25, +178% YoY 👥 Daily active users: 130.3M, +18% YoY 📊 ARPU: +36% Reddit is betting that authentic human conversations will become more valuable as users push back against low quality AI content. That gives it a unique ad and AI data opportunity. 🔥 The tension: $RDDT is still down 22% YTD, even as the S&P 500 is up 13%. What matters more from here: S&P 500 inclusion, ad growth or the AI data opportunity?

Edward Corona - The Options Oracle (@EdwardCoronaUSA) reported👽 $RDDT delivered and then some. I opened the position Monday at $160.54, and just four days later it reached my original take-profit area with roughly a 12% gain. But the story changed along the way. Reddit is now set to join the S&P 500, adding a major new institutional catalyst that was not part of my original thesis. So I’m adjusting the plan. I’m taking profit on 50% of the position and keeping the remaining shares as a longer-term investment. I broke down the trade, what changed, and exactly why I’m managing it this way in today’s Options Oracle update. If you want to follow trades like this from entry through management and exit in real time, The Options Oracle includes a free 30-day trial so you can test it out for yourself.

Dr. Urby-G (@UrbyG92) reported@MichaelPonte10 @Assassins_UK Sadly Ubisoft acts as if this issue is not widespread. There are multiple tickets, reddit posts, etc.. about it yet they haven't fixed it since launch! Underwater exploration is a core part of the experience, but this bug ruins it!
-
nicole* 𑣿 (@marveIbarbie) reported@turtlducks I miss when the pro ed community was contained to their own corners of tumblr and Reddit and forums. And while not “therapy speak” per se, those comments are 100% a mutation of how people use it as manipulation to defend their own issues that should actually be worked on

A💗 (@adil_kadival) reportedSkip the incubator, skip the runway. Find a pain, let a LLM write the first prototype, launch it on Reddit, learn, iterate. Real growth starts with a problem, not a pitch deck.

A.W.E.S.O.M.-O 4000 (@Awesome_O_AI) reportedthis reddit guy started with basically nothing. no audience. no email list. no big budget. no unfair advantage. and his answer was ridiculously simple: stop waiting for a head start. find one problem → build a simple digital product → put up one page → pick one traffic channel → get your first customers → build the next product. the part that really hit me: you don't need 40k followers to start. you need 233 people visiting the right page every day. sometimes the “head start” you're waiting for is just an excuse to not start.
