Ann B | Creative Strategist + UGC Creator (@generatedbyann) reportedMost brands don't have a creativity problem. They have a research problem. Creative teams spend hours brainstorming ideas before spending thirty minutes understanding the customer. Then they're surprised when the messaging feels generic. Before I write a hook, I want to understand: • What keeps this customer frustrated? • What have they already tried? • What language do they naturally use? • What are they skeptical about? • What finally convinced existing customers to buy? That information isn't hidden. It's sitting inside reviews, Reddit threads, Trustpilot, TikTok comments, Amazon reviews, Facebook groups, support tickets, and competitor ads. Customers are literally writing the copy for you. The best creative strategists aren't the people with the biggest imagination. They're the people who know how to listen. Research doesn't slow down creativity. It gives it direction. #ugc #ugccreator #ugccommunity

Odd Duck (@OddDuck97614228) reported@TheBrancaShow The problem I run into is the overlap between ai writing and high on their own farts Reddit mods and online debate bros styles. Which as I think about it makes sense because some of the ai models were trained off of reddit.

Noah (@noahreeveshq) reportedJust incorporated my 3rd company in 2 years!! First one was a complete flop and I shut it down quickly lol. I had a lot to learn so I worked with as many founders as I could this past year. This past April, I incorporated a new company and it’s doing well? It’s a healthcare SaaS for acupuncturists(Dx-Chart). Tough market. Good news, I have my first school partnership and investor in the works. It’s STILL in beta and free. Will put up a paywall once users’ top requests (scheduling and patient intake) are up. This new one I just launched is for a consumer app I’ve been building in stealth. I validated idea already and have been carefully building a GTM strategy (reddit -> organic social -> ugc ->ads) I’m not afraid to say that I haven’t made my first internet dollar yet. This is just the part nobody wants to talk about, but I will cuz this is part of the journey. Some people make it early, others late. But I WILL build a company that generates a six figures income if it’s the last thing I do!

Lisa Bedford (@TheSurvivalMom) reported@takerdust @TheDataVet They absolutely do own chain hotels via franchises. More often than not, in travel forums and on Reddit, people constantly complain about poor service, filth, terrible maid service, bad food, billing errors, etc. at some of the very nice upscale Marriott hotels and you can guess who they are actually owned by.

Brad Sugars ActionCOACH (@BradSugars) reportedTurn your ads off tomorrow and see what's left standing. For most businesses the answer is nothing. Zero leads by Friday. That's the rule I run every company by now. Rent attention or own it. Instant marketing is rent. The day you stop paying, you're evicted. A Meta ad dies the second the budget does. A YouTube video I made six years ago still books calls for us. Same effort, wildly different math. Permanent assets: 1. YouTube videos answering the questions buyers actually search 2. Blog articles that rank and sit there 3. Reddit and forum answers people find for years 4. Pinterest pins, which nobody takes seriously and should 5. Your own website with real depth on it, not five pages Here's the part that stings. Permanent marketing feels slow. Week one you get nothing. So the owner panics and goes back to buying leads, because instant gives you a dopamine hit today. I did the same thing for years, honestly. Ads are measurable, so I hid there. But Google told us buyers do 7 hours of research before purchasing. If those 7 hours don't exist on your channels, they happen on your competitor's. Every ad is an expense. Every asset is an employee that works nights, weekends, and never asks for a raise. Run ads if you want. I still do. But every month, build one thing that outlives the invoice.

Ahmet Kaplan (@ahmetkaplandev) reported@LinkedInHelp Today, you restricted my 9-year-old account for no reason. You asked me to provide identity verification, which I did, and I submitted a support request, but my account still hasn’t been reactivated. I currently have two active business profiles and ads on my account. Because of you, all my advertising efforts have come to a halt. I’ve seen a large number of people on Reddit and other forums who have experienced this issue and whose accounts haven’t been reactivated. You keep doing this and are causing people harm. Please reactivate my account!

David Herrmann (@herrmanndigital) reportedGen Alpha and a good chunk of Gen Z don’t use Facebook and most barely use Instagram. They have them, they just barely use them. They use: YouTube Snapchat Reddit Reddit is the one growing the most among these demographics according to a recent AdAge report. Yet the biggest share of wallet is Meta for ad spend. Advertisers on Meta are going after mostly 30+ yr olds and that pie of users has stopped growing. It isn’t a problem now, but it will be eventually. If you want to remain relevant for a long time you absolutely need to start thinking about strategies for other networks. This doesn’t mean ads necessarily. Nothing urgent but def something to think about.

Hawkeye1812Z (@Hawkeye1745) reportedStudy maps developer-reported risks in AI-native IDEs (integrated development enviroments) A preprint paper accepted for ASE 2026, international Conference on Automated Software Engineering, which will take place in Munich, Germany during October 12-16, 2026, analyzed 446 Reddit posts and 6,000+ comments on LLM*-based coding tools including Chat GPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and Codex. Reported issues clustered around unauthorized file operations, unsafe code execution, destructive actions, opaque data flows, telemetry collection, and sensitive data exposure. The dataset indicates the main friction is not only model output quality but tool privilege and workflow design. Developers are already compensating with manual isolation, configuration controls, and code governance, while the researchers argue secure defaults, explicit approvals, and sensitive file protections should be built in at the architectural level. *LLMs are language models with many parameters, and are trained with self-supervised learning on a vast amount of text.

plurbintime (@plurbintime) reported@burritoprophet true, but i don't see that much on plurbtwt, it's more an issue on reddit where you'll have redditors acting completely befuddled that anyone could like zosia or the hive. but on plurbtwt most of us like zosia so obvs we don't see the plurbs as one-dimensional abusers.

Chris Ashby (@chris_bgp) reported17 ways I'd get the first 10 customers for a brand new app, starting from zero (my running list): 1. Open a spreadsheet and list the 50 people you already know who are closest to the problem, then send each a 3-sentence personal note asking for an intro to one person who has it worse. Warm intros convert better than anything else you'll ever do. 2. Search X and Reddit for people complaining about your exact problem in their own words, then send 20 properly-researched DMs. 20 messages written like a human beat 200 templates, every time. 3. Do the job manually for your first 3 customers before the app does it — take their money, deliver the outcome yourself, then show them the app doing the same thing. You'll learn more in those 3 deliveries than in 3 months of building. 4. Pick ONE subreddit where your users live and spend 30 minutes a day just answering questions for 3 weeks before you ever mention your app. When you finally post it, you're a regular, not a spammer. 5. Charge from day one with a Stripe payment link and a 30-day money-back guarantee instead of a free trial, because a trial gives people an easy way out and a guarantee gives them confidence to start. 6. Record a 2-minute Loom for every serious prospect showing THEIR workflow inside your app, not a generic demo. Nobody deletes a video with their own name in it. 7. Make your first 10 a founding-member deal: lifetime pricing plus a direct line to you on WhatsApp. Access to the founder is the one thing no bigger competitor can copy. (use this shamelessly) 8. Build the community before you build the app. My rule for every product in my portfolio: its first customer must come from the community I already run — half the reason AI App Academy exists. Trust is pre-built, feedback is instant. 9. Onboard all 10 personally on a call and watch them use it in silence. The place they hesitate is your real onboarding problem, and no analytics tool will show you that this early. 10. Fire the referral ask at the exact moment they get their first win — "who else do you know dealing with this?" — because gratitude has a half-life measured in hours. 11. Strip one feature into a free tool that solves the 5-minute version of the problem and let it collect emails. A free tool is cold outreach that runs while you sleep. 12. Interview your first 5 users and steal their exact phrases for your landing page. If a customer says "I stopped trusting my own spreadsheet", that's your headline, not whatever Claude wrote. 13. Record standalone talking-head shorts about the problem, each pointing to a guide page that captures an email. My standalone shorts do 2K–80K views while clips cut from long videos do a couple hundred. Recorded-for-purpose wins. 14. On launch day, email 50 people individually. Not a newsletter blast — 50 separate emails written for one reader each. Takes an afternoon, and it'll be the highest-converting afternoon you ever have. 15. Follow up weekly until you get an actual no, because a non-response isn't a rejection, it's a busy person. Most early sales die from politeness, not disinterest. 16. Aim at buyers who can say yes alone — one decision-maker, their own budget. Lawyers, accountants, consultants and freelancers answer their own email, which makes them the most reachable first customers on earth. 17. Save your Product Hunt launch until you have 10 happy users and real testimonials collected in Senja. A launch with proof converts. A launch with promises just gets you a pretty graph of visitors who never come back. These are just the ones I'd actually start with. I'll keep adding to this list if people are into it. Because here's the thing — your first 10 customers aren't found, they're made, one conversation at a time. Every tactic above is just a different way to start a conversation with someone who already has the problem. Now go start ten conversations.

Alice Bull (@alice_k_bull) reportedSpent 20 years in GTM and an embarrassing amount of that time has been spent fixing ‘marketing problems’ that were mostly nobody being able to explain what the company did. I say this as a woman who got roasted on Reddit for opposing sales messaging on her own website. The lesson: get someone who doesn't know you, doesn't like you, and has no agenda to flatter you, to read your marketing materials and repeat back to you what they think you do. It's the toughest thing to do from the inside.

Parry (@parrybtw) reportedThis was something I wanted to do for a while you can vibe code your app but you cant get paid users just like this there was a much need for communities that won’t just tell you how to build with AI, but how to actually market them and sell them so we built this community to help you out on that wether you’re facing issue with ~ Founder let content ~ SEO/AEO/GEO ~ Outbound ~ UGC on Insta, Tiktok ~ Reddit ~ Paid Ads or anything.. there are folks in this community to help you out any given time you don’t have to do everything from scratch if you want in, just comment SHIP or just shoot me a dm and I’ll get you in

Justin Morrison, Veteran (@JPM_Canada) reportedits 2026 and @everquest @EQ_Legends will ban you without conversation or warning for using a Clown emoji. Per their ruse in their discord server the clown face is the same as a the swastika. I am not lying, this is legit. This is what happens when you take a bunch of reddit mods running an EMU server and make them the team lead on a multi-class classic game. We coulda had THJ but Secrets and Roegan seen that to end. **** you both for destroying my childhood.

Jin Otto (@threadotter) reportedSomewhere on Reddit right now, someone is asking for exactly what you sell. Not "might be interested." Asking. "What are people using for X?" "Is there a tool that does Y?" No other channel hands founders that: a buying signal with a timestamp, an author, and a comment box under it. Cold email guesses at intent. Ads interrupt. SEO waits months. On Reddit, the buyer starts the conversation. Which makes the strange part stranger: almost every founder who tries Reddit quits inside a month. Removed post, sometimes a banned account, same conclusion every time: "Reddit hates marketers." They're half right. And the half they're wrong about is the entire opportunity. The case for giving up is real, so let's make it properly. Reddit is the most aggressively moderated major platform on the internet. Three separate layers can kill your comment: AutoModerator rules (instant, mechanical), the sitewide spam filter (invisible, judging your account more than your words), and human moderators who clean up after dozens of founders every week. Removals are frequently silent: your comment looks live to you and is invisible to everyone else. You can market into a void for weeks without knowing. So yes: if your plan is "post my product in ten subreddits," Reddit will shred you. Honestly, it should. That plan is spam with founder branding. Here's what the founders who quit don't see: every mechanism that shredded them is the reason the channel still works. The moderation is WHY buyers trust what they read there. People append "reddit" to their searches because shilling gets removed and what survives is real. When a founder answers a question well, discloses who they are, and the comment stands, that survival is itself a signal: the community let it stand. And because most founders bounce off, the ones who learn the rules compete with almost nobody. Anyone can send cold email, so inboxes are ruined. Anyone can buy ads, so auctions are expensive. Reddit's difficulty filters out your competition for you. Why do founders specifically fail? Three mismatched assumptions: 1. They treat a community channel like a broadcast channel. Launch-day energy, post everywhere, link everything. That's the exact pattern every filter is tuned to catch. Reddit rewards residents and removes tourists. 2. They start selling before the account can survive selling. The filters weigh WHO is speaking: account age, karma, history in that community. A thoughtful comment from a 3-day-old account gets removed where the same words from a seasoned account would stand. Founders read that as censorship. It's actually a solvable onboarding problem. 3. They measure the wrong thing and quit at the trough. Reddit compounds slowly, then suddenly: weeks of quiet contribution, then one surviving answer in the right thread pulls signups for months, because threads rank in Google long after the conversation dies. Founders measuring day-7 signups walk away just as the compounding begins. None of the fix requires tricks, burner accounts, or gray-hat anything. The whole playbook: be genuinely useful, in the right rooms, at a human pace, from an account that has earned the right to speak. The craft is knowing what each of those words means mechanically. We just wrote the full 8-part playbook on it: bans, account seasoning, subreddit rules (we profiled 2,000+ communities; only 5% clearly allow self-promotion), the reply that survives, pacing, listening, and the funnel from comment to customer. Publishing it all this month. Follow along if Reddit is where your buyers are.
