Violet | 🍏 (@Sirulien) reported@ClaireStrifeX02 Oh for sure. They don’t care about protecting their existing players, not even their brainrot discord/reddit mods do 😵💫 Too scared to put their foot down out of fear of backlash.

َ (@nycbur) reportedid Like to Say i have Never doxxed anyone & Have no Reason to!!!! Doxxing is a terrible thing That Should not b Happening!!! i Don‘t even am on Reddit, stop lying about Me
-
Rasty Turek (@synopsi) reportedThe reason is quite simple: the experience was absolutely terrible, same with Reddit. You will get mocked, yelled at for now knowing rules, etc It became the last resort and people only went there if they truly had no other choice.
-
John (@hello_code_) reported@imallag Building Subreddit Signals for SaaS founders because their next 10 customers are already describing their problem on Reddit, just not to them.
-
Joe (@JoeyT_151) reported@Estrotren Fuuuck. That means the phobes found you and probably made a reddit group to shut you down and report.
-
Nursena | #BRINGVALKOBACK (@NursenaOfficial) reported@merylisk @houyame22 Also the fact that posts about valko being taken down on Reddit, or they not doing anything about hate posts on Weibo, not doing anything about 9w9… I feel like they’d rather keep the loyal antis around then the players who want a better gaming experience.
-
Dyrkabes (@dyrkabes) reported@missingpagedev Yeah, for sure. I learned one thing. My launch was good but then got a bit slow over time. I could bring it back into good numbers territory by one major release + a couple of Reddit posts (fairly unsuccessful, you know like hundreds of view, <5 upvotes). Or maybe that was due to my social media floundering lol

-
ceo of gay bunnies (@realdoonser) reportedim ngl some reddit mods suck *** but i kinda appreciate how **** they tend to be about server rules. i don't use reddit as a social media site so making sure that whenever i want to know something i can just search "[topic] reddit" and actually get the info i want is rly helpful
-
Vaibhav - building Needle (@iamvs2002) reportedThe real signal already exists. It’s buried in: • Reddit threads • X replies • GitHub issues • Community discussions You just can’t find it properly.

Pack Quest is good (@good_p4ck) reported@Shgurr_ Idk why reddit added this info down there while downloading that universal meme. I could research for that meme but nah ima involve everyone into this for fun

CozyWaveDesign (@CozyVaporwave) reported@WodenWanderer @HarmlessYardDog Ironically it followed much the same way that the first world collapsed: - We started out on very segregated sites or platforms, separate site/IRC channel/BBS for every interest - We realized that things worked a lot better if things were more interconnected and centralized - For a while, there was a boom. Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and the rest of the "Web 2.0" platforms really were a lot better than what came before - This boom was enough to kill off the previously segregated sites which proceeded it. No need to have a forum and send your emails to some sketchy server admin, just talk on the subreddit for a topic, and as a bonus, spam went down to nearly zero - Once the "old ways" died out, the Web 2.0 platforms started turning on their users making all sorts of counter-productive decisions which went against the spirit of their founding
-
Gray HG (@basedepirus) reported@blaskxx @MTSlive Every other platform is full of slop despite lack of revenue share. Reddit had an enormous marketing shill problem (via account botting) for the last 15 years. I think ending revenue share will only marginally move the needle.

QopsterNoDice || Tiefling Vtuber (@QNodice) reportedHow in the hell am I meant to find refs for NPCs in a D&D campaign? Pinterest? AI slop field Artstation? Searching for a character idea sucks there Google? AI slop and terrible searching Reddit and MTG are the only sources I have right now but they're not perfect Please help
-
Donwacky (@humzayusuf420) reported@BruceWayne977 @AntiFeminismAU They literally fed it reddit. Ai just picks the most likely next word from a server filled with essentially the entire internet. Ontop of this there are biases set by devs that go with the ‘truth’ over majority claim.
-
BM v2 (@REIT_REBORN) reported@Jarrettmmr @CarrotFollower how reddit of you to correct me on something utterly meaningless simply shutting down one lane for a stretch due to the rehabilitation work added north of a half hour to peoples' commutes. It's not going anywhere and it's childish to assume that traffic will just use local roads
-
Ruhanee Naushad (@TheCivicMuse) reported@DhruvD26357637 @valmoth1 Most of the mods fo Indian subreddits are Pakistanis posing as Indians. They have Indian names. Plus no matter how much you report these subs reddit wont take them down
-
John (@hello_code_) reported@danielkleach Reddit and X are full of people literally describing the problem you solve, most founders just aren't listening at the right moment.

Chris Mizo (@MizoChris) reportedRTX 4090 RMA? SOL when you know it's needed... After a Reddit user sends his problematic ZOTAC RTX 4090 back FOUR different times! ZOTAC replaced it with something a little better… a brand-new RTX 5090 at no extra cost! • The RTX 4090 reportedly suffered from BSODs, freezing, artifacts, and PCIe errors • The customer went through four separate RMAs over roughly a year • His original 3-year warranty had about one month remaining • After the latest RMA took around 30 days, he contacted ZOTAC for an update • ZOTAC ultimately upgraded him from an RTX 4090 → RTX 5090 • He reportedly paid nothing extra for the upgrade • There is one catch: the replacement RTX 5090 reportedly only carries a 30-day warranty Four RMAs on a flagship GPU is absolutely unforgivable, but replacing a 4090 with a 5090 is one hell of a way to make it right. Zotac deserves much more respect.?
-
Brandarche (@brandarche) reported@Wahib_AI It usually goes the other way. Cheap users churn at the first bug because they’ve risked nothing, so you get less feedback not more. Ten people who paid properly beats a hundred who didn’t. Go find the ten who already complained about the problem somewhere, Reddit, X, wherever, and offer them the MVP at full price with your phone number attached. They’ll tell you everything.
-
Zyrav (@Zyrav_) reported@Metagamer20 yea he's not even a mere shadow of what he was, he just doesn't work anymore on the fundamental level and bhvr is silent about it for over 2 months now, before it they used to try and fix mentioned in reddit things at least

Muhammad Noman (@Nomiwri8s12) reportedIf you are strong at imagination and using assumptive-question techniques, you have a huge advantage when it comes to discovering new avatars and new marketing angles quickly. Here’s how it works. Once you already understand your product, your market, and your primary avatar, your mind can start connecting the dots. You begin asking yourself: “Who else could have this problem?” “Where else could this product fit?” “What other type of person could want this outcome?” “What other situations could create the same desire?” This is where imagination becomes extremely powerful. You can use your existing knowledge of the product and market to hypothesize new avatars and angles. But you shouldn't treat those assumptions as facts. The next step is to go into the market and verify them. For example, you can use Reddit to see whether people are actively talking about the problem you're targeting. Look for repeated conversations, complaints, questions, and discussions. If you find a large number of people discussing the same problem, that's a strong signal that you've potentially discovered a valuable avatar. Then go to TikTok and search for content around the same problem, desire, or situation. Look at: - How many views the videos are getting - How many comments they're receiving - What people are saying in the comments - Whether people are sharing their own experiences - What language they use to describe the problem If you consistently see high engagement, you've found another strong market signal. Then you can check the Meta Ad Library and other ad-intelligence platforms to see whether businesses are already advertising to this audience or using similar angles. But here's an important point: If you don't find anyone running ads, don't automatically conclude that the avatar or angle is bad. There are two possibilities: 1. The market isn't interested. 2. Nobody has discovered or properly exploited the opportunity yet. The absence of competitors can sometimes mean there's no demand... ...but it can also mean you've found something that other marketers haven't identified. That's why market research isn't the final verification. The real verification comes from running the ads yourself. So the process becomes: 1. Know your product and primary market. ↓ 2. Use imagination and assumptive questions to generate new avatars and angles. ↓ 3. Go into the market and look for evidence. ↓ 4. Verify through Reddit, TikTok, ad libraries, communities, comments, and other sources. ↓ 5. Identify the strongest opportunities. ↓ 6. Run actual advertising tests. ↓ 7. Let real-world results tell you whether the avatar and angle are truly strong. This is the combination of creative thinking + market research + real-world testing. Your imagination helps you discover opportunities that may not be obvious. The market helps you verify whether there's evidence behind your hypothesis. And your ads ultimately tell you whether people will actually respond with their attention, clicks, leads, or money. That's how you systematically discover new avatars and angles instead of waiting for competitors to show you what already works.

Doodling Do (@DoodlingDo50375) reported@OptionsFunding_ Yall are using a system rixtrade that I highly suspect that you know is flawed. I had many issues with it today and I googled it along with looking at reddit which confirmed my issues. I think you will be needing to refund my money back.

Fraser (@iamfra5er) reportedTHIS GUY WANTED A PLACE TO STORE HIS PASSPORT WITHOUT DROPBOX READING IT so he built an encrypted vault app for himself in a weekend and it's now doing $5k/mo zero startup cost. 85% margins. no ads. just SEO written by an AI agent trained on his emails the agent finds trending topics on reddit every single day, writes an article, translates it, posts it google indexes it in days. 500-600 daily visitors. 4% convert to app store downloads. all running on free cloudflare then ASO does the rest — he translated the app into 36 languages and ranks #1 for "duress vault" in the US app store 80 downloads a day. 9% conversion to paid. completely autonomous most founders obsess over their first 10 customers but this guy got banned from every reddit community and said whatever, I'll just let the robot handle distribution he's an ex-google security engineer who raised hundreds of millions for his last startup so he knows what terrible UX looks like in security apps every competitor either has bulletproof security with unusable UI or easy UI with trash security he just combined both and called it done doesn't even spend time on this app. works on 4 projects at once. lets coding agents build while he plans the MVP is identical to the final product because he built exactly what he wanted for himself no pivot. no customer discovery calls. just "I need this, maybe 10 other people do too" now he's testing tiktok and youtube not even for this app but just to learn distribution for the next one

ecomchigga (@ecomchigga) reported7 digital products people are selling right now on X that you could build in a weekend: 1. AI UGC agency startup kit the "how do i start an AI UGC agency" question floods X and reddit weekly. a PDF covering which AI tools replace a $500/video creator, how to land your first 3 clients through cold DM, and a portfolio template using AI-generated samples. $37. the entire buyer pool is already scrolling X looking for exactly this. 2. cold email system for freelancers "how do i get clients without posting content every day" is one of the most common complaints from designers, developers, and copywriters on X. a google doc with 12 proven cold email templates, a lead-finding walkthrough using apollo or instantly, and a follow-up sequence that converts at 3-4%. $29. distribute by answering freelancer questions on X. they're everywhere. 3. AI chatbot agency starter pack "i'll build you a custom AI chatbot" is the new agency pitch flooding X right now. a done-for-you client proposal template, a walkthrough for building simple chatbots with no-code tools, 3 case study frameworks to fake-proof your first portfolio, and a pricing guide for charging $1,500-3,000 per bot. $36. every AI account between 300 and 8K followers pitching this service is winging it without templates. 4. micro-SaaS launch playbook build-in-public accounts are one of the fastest growing segments on X. a 19-page guide covering how to validate a SaaS idea in 48 hours, set up a waitlist with carrd, run a $0 launch through X posts, and convert free users to paid. $41. distribute by engaging with the build-in-public crowd. they repost playbooks religiously. 5. AI automation service template pack "i'll automate your business with AI" is the new SMMA pitch. a done-for-you proposal template, 3 case study frameworks, a pricing calculator for automation services, and a client onboarding doc. $33. every AI account on X with 500-5K followers selling services needs this and most are winging it with blank google docs. 6. SMMA client acquisition system SMMA isn't dead. the discovery channel just shifted from cold calling to X and cold DM. a step-by-step for building an X presence that attracts local business owners, a DM script pack, a results reporting template, and a pricing framework for retainers. $38. the SMMA niche on X is massive and starving for systems that aren't $997 courses. 7. newsletter monetization blueprint "i have 2,000 subscribers and no idea how to make money from this" is posted weekly. a guide covering sponsorship outreach templates, how to price ad slots based on open rate, a media kit template, and how to build a paid tier without losing free readers. $31. X is where every newsletter operator already hangs out. every product on this list solves a problem that someone on X is complaining about today. the buyer is already on the platform. the distribution is free. the product takes a weekend to build. the only thing separating the person reading this from the person selling one of these is a google doc and an afternoon.
