dan.code (@dancodeua) reportedI thought AI would make customer research a no-brainer. Give it Reddit threads, YouTube videos, TikTok comments, reviews. Let it cook the desires, problems, and patterns. And honestly, it does this really well. But to scale past $10K–$15K days and reach consistent $30K days, you need to make research manually. Yeah, it’s boring, I know. But when I read hundreds of comments myself, the words, emotions, and small details stay somewhere in the back of my head. Then later, I am working on an ad or trying to create a new mechanism, and suddenly I get an idea. “Damn, nice gut feeling.” But it was it all the research in my head finally coming together. AI helps me find the information. Manual research changes the way I think.

Chad Hominem (@JustGeneral77) reported@KuroBattosai @nitalapel Oh what a great and thoughtful comeback! ******* retard. Yes, contrary to reddit logic it’s not circular reasoning, people actually do care about what happens to their civilizations. Islam is terrible no matter who practices it, that’s been true since the 600’s.

Jav (@justcopyjav) reported3 steps to writing a native ad that actually converts. most people skip straight to writing that’s why most native ads flop before the click even happens 1. research the market, not the product pull reddit threads on the problem mine competitor reviews read the comments under their ads you’re not looking for what to say you’re looking for the exact words the market already uses that language becomes your copy your interpretation never converts as well as their own words 2. build the angle before you touch the page pick the mechanism pick the belief you need to shift pick the awareness level you’re writing to this one decision decides your lead type it decides your length it decides whether it reads like a story or a news piece skip it and you’re not writing strategy you’re decorating a guess 3. write for congruence, not conversion the ad has to feel like it’s teasing an article the advertorial has to actually read like one no bullet-pointed benefits no “introducing” no bold claims in paragraph one earn belief first sell last break that feeling anywhere along the chain and the whole funnel leaks doesn’t matter how good any single page is on its own most brands get step three wrong because they’re impatient the ones that win are patient with the sell

Philip Ghezelbash (@philghz) reportedi kind of hate how people spam reddit and ruin it but at the same time, i grew traffic there and made money that said, it came down to 1-2 winning posts that were carefully planned, added value and got millions of views rather than auto spam botting comments, etc. it is what it is bullish $rddt though as a company.

maya 🦋 (@mayamammamam) reported@HamonBeat feels like over the past couple years we've overused reddit as a descriptor so much that we forgot why it was insulting to begin with, THIS is reddit, this is the epitome of the kind of smugness that stinks up that platform and why it's such an utterly terrible site

Valak X (@ValakX18) reported@StevBuilds twitter is overrated after nikita took over everyone's reach is down reddit is underrated like it values effort

Dagmen (@DanfromtheDen) reported@Th3birdman15 Yes...but how does that negate what happened on your server or that you had 14 year old moderators and your response on reddit was "age is just a number"?

Allan Pitanga (@Allan_Pitanga) reported@Jesi_Ash @Defected_Saint @TheGameVerse Literally the meme about reddit gamers putting 200 hours in a game then complaining saying it's bad or having nothing to do in it lol why did you continue to play then if it's that bad? And don't get me wrong, it has issues, but imo it showed some pretty good efforts

Peter Orem (@PeterMOrem) reported@VeteranGamerUK The problem with these LLMs is that they're trained on human text, especially reddit. Of course it's going to try to do these things from time to time.

Storia🌸🌊🐦⬛🐺 (@MissStoria_) reported@merylisk also with the lads official discord ppl still talking about valko why aren’t people banned from speaking about him in the gen chat even though his topic is gone + some valko posts are on Reddit too (even though some mods took some valko posts down) 🤨 🤨 🤨 sth to think about

argus (@argus_ab) reportedi can't make this up. some guy named quentin goes viral on reddit for snapping a selfie while his apartment burns down. disaster girl 2.0 energy but this one's real and the coin actually sends creator fees straight to him. he's already claimed once and jumped in the community. launched from like $3K it ran to $146K before pulling back to $53.2K. the story is clean as hell. random dude becomes meme legend and crypto turns it into direct help. i've seen a thousand good cause plays. this one actually hits because the guy knows what's happening and the fees are flowing. smart money picture is messy but the conviction holder matters. one sniper loaded $1.5K at $53.2K mcap with 8.0 hotness and hasn't sold a single token through the whole swing. whales net +$670 overall. KOLs bought one small bag early then took profits on the rip. two positions fully exited but the early conviction wallet is still sitting. CT is accelerating hard. 160 mentions in the last 24h after only 9 the day before. most of the chatter is organic. people posting the reddit link sharing the apartment fire clip then aping because the narrative feels different. not just another dog with hat. this one has a human on the other side collecting the bag. narrative is strong and the wallets that matter haven't tapped out yet. most of CT is still catching up to the reddit virality. this is the kind of weird internet moment that either dies in a week or prints for the guy who lived it. i'm watching what quentin does next. 🔥

Dinnu daniel (@daniel_adinnu) reportedValve showed off an e-ink faceplate as a display feature. A modder took one look at it, decided it wouldn't actually be readable from a normal couch, and built something more useful instead. Reddit user NefariousnessWhole25 started from Valve's own e-ink faceplate demonstration, an interchangeable front panel meant to display information on the Steam Machine's face. The practical problem was viewing angle: from where most people actually sit relative to their console, a screen on the front just isn't readable. Rather than abandon the idea of a functional faceplate, the modder repurposed the concept entirely, building a 3D-printed panel that turns the same interchangeable slot into an integrated charging dock for the new Steam Controller and its magnetic puck. The engineering details are specifically solved rather than roughly approximated. The controller mounts directly onto the front of the faceplate, held in place primarily by the puck's own magnets, strong enough on their own that an earlier version's supporting shelf turned out to be unnecessary and was removed. A small lip keeps the puck from slipping out the bottom, and a right-angle USB-C connector keeps the charging cable from awkwardly protruding out the top. A detachable stand slides into the back of the faceplate when not needed, letting the whole assembly function as a standalone charging station separate from the console entirely. None of this would exist without Valve's own decision to publish official CAD files, both for the Steam Machine's faceplate system and separately for the Steam Controller and its Puck, released under a Creative Commons license specifically to let modders and accessory makers build exactly this kind of thing without reverse engineering the hardware from scratch. The design isn't limited to the Steam Machine either, since the dock detaches and works as a general charging stand for anyone with just the controller and no console at all. The creator hasn't released the files or confirmed plans to sell it yet, despite several users already asking for one.

Credit Capital (@CreditCapi) reportedReddit had a blowout quarter on paper (revenue up 61% y/y, EPS beat, Q3 guide above Street), but the stock still dumped 21% off a tiny DAU decel (53.5M to 53.2M US DAUs, ~300k users). To me, the reaction makes sense once you dig past the headline number, because it's really a terminal value story. Google's search AI is now past 1B monthly users and accelerating, and query volume keeps compounding: people are shifting toward AI-synthesized answers over Reddit's "authentic human" pitch, which the brand campaign basically ignores. Reddit is also killing the logged-in/logged-out DAU disclosure starting Q3, which is definitely a negative signal; that split was the cleanest way to tell engaged users from search drive-bys. Underneath, the US/international ARPU gap keeps widening (~$3.67 to ~$9.59 over two years), so the user growth that's showing up is disproportionately low-monetizing, while the higher-value US logged-in cohort has been flat for five quarters. DAU/WAU conversion has also been sliding, ~27% down to ~25% since Q1 2025, meaning people are using Reddit less habitually even as weeklies grow. None of this kills the AI licensing optionality, though; if Reddit fixes engagement, that segment could re-rate higher. But I'm not bullish here and am watching next print's DAU trend closely to see if the Google AI substitution effect persists. $RDDT

Ohio Rob (@TheOhioRob) reported@Jerrybgo12 I doubt you've been alive "for decades" to even know that. It's just dumb **** you learned on reddit or in a groyper discord server.

HellfishAZ (@HellfishAz) reported@Comrade_FOX @LucasBotkin Firearms Reddit is extremely terrible for fake stories about guns that the Redditors don’t really own, and the various AIs harvest Reddit as their primary info source if you ask a question.

John (@hello_code_) reported@buildwithmaya 2000 users with no marketing help is actually a decent signal the product had pull. Reddit would have told you exactly where those users were talking about the problem.

Sovereign Liberty 🇺🇸 (@SovLiberty1776) reportedHonestly feeling perplexed for a while now. I have been voting 🔴 since I could first vote in the 2000 election. Since then, life has taken me down many many roads. It was around 2018 that I ventured into various online spaces, Reddit, Discord, Telegram, etc... Long story short...when you spend that much time (2018-2024) in Woke spaces, even as far as perfectly able to portray someone who belongs it is nothing less than disturbing AF! It really really takes a toll on you in every form! Tis, the 2 years I have been completely away from the internet and just now returning. Where the perplexed comes in. Well, it is next to impossible for me at least right now knowing exactly what the darkest recesses of Wokeness and some Trans people are working towards, to even have a fraction of support for even their adult rights. Looking for some direction with this! @DrKarlynB you are the best person I can honestly think of to help me with this. Bc as you have stated in your podcast yea, even my longtime 🔴s are honestly no real help. If anything they're just poking the bear for monetization riling up their followers with the same exhausting memes and no real context.

Tailor Mgbeke (@Sysrqgit) reported@Wizarab10 I'm currently facing this issue with Reddit. I've come to realise it's IP ban. But then there are stuff I'd simply call "bread crumbs" that you drop on new account which you've previously dropped on banned account. They'd connect the dots and know it's you again.

Mike Dippy (prev. yapzaddy) (@mikedippy) reported@GrapeTickler Classic H3 cult to think that every meme was cpropagated from H3. Ninja wife meme blew on Twitter and Reddit up before H3 talked about it. Insane to try and call out someone as an ex-fan while you are paying for a membership AND a website! Truly going down with the ship 🫡

Brendan Playford (@BrendanPlayford) reported@Anas_founder With zero budget, I usually skip direct promo and use Reddit to track where people already complain about the problem I solve. Jumping into those existing conversations is always much faster than waiting for SEO to kick in.

TashiChihuahua (@TashiChihuahua) reported@ClayTravis Reddit should be shut down. Cyber-cesspool

Sodiq akande (@SodiqAkand3766) reported@santoshstack 100%. That's why Reddit rewards helpful contributors more than self-promotion. When you solve a problem first, people naturally become curious about what you offer.

Mo Arfaj (@mo_arfaj01) reportedMost SaaS founders don’t have a marketing problem. They have a distribution problem. I’ve generated: 12M+ Reddit views 6M+ X impressions 5K+ SaaS clicks Build the product. I’ll help you get it in front of the right people.

SUMMER ໑̣| 𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓 (@bratlioncourt) reported@brittmall83 Someone on Reddit who probably isn't even a fan of his. They might actually be a "harry." Ironically, the only ones who talk about their support for the community in such a terrible way are the "larries."
