ibo (@ibocodes) reported10 reddit prompts that will help you actually market on the platform without getting banned: [save this] 1. find your subreddit "list the top 10 subreddits where [target audience] asks questions about [problem your product solves]" 2. audit community rules "summarize the posting rules and unwritten norms of [subreddit name] so i don't get flagged as spam" 3. write a value post "write a helpful post for [subreddit] that answers [common question] without mentioning my product" 4. soft pitch in comments "write a comment reply that answers [question] and naturally mentions [product] only if directly relevant" 5. build karma fast "give me 10 genuinely useful things i can post in [subreddit] to build credibility before promoting anything" 6. spot buying intent "find comment patterns in [subreddit] that signal someone is ready to pay for a solution to [problem]" 7. handle negative threads "write a calm, non-defensive response to a reddit comment criticizing [product or brand]" 8. repurpose reddit for content "turn this reddit thread into a blog post outline that addresses the same pain points: [paste thread]" 9. find your angle "what tone and format performs best in [subreddit] - long posts, short answers, or listicles" 10. measure what matters "define 3 metrics i can track to know if my reddit presence is actually driving signups"

Roger Wehbe (@martianmaterals) reportedDon’t worry, Turnerbots you have me blocked at Reddit and here. I don’t open up other accounts. So congratulations. You muted me. Enjoy the run as long as it lasts until the Epstein list comes out then your whole program got shut down I consider this closed

TEDDY BROSEVELT (@THAREAL_EST) reported@teamyoutube For a month the LG TV YouTube app has been broken. The update broke the remote back/exit button. It now opens my TV’s app menu instead of exiting videos or menus. LG says it's not them & you overrode the button. Its not just mine, there's a Reddit page about it.

Riché Biché (@perpetualmoshun) reported@scrollscoreapp @legitimatetiger This is very good advice. The only problem I’m having is the knee-jerk reaction to grab my phone. I don’t scroll video apps but I do like X and Reddit and browsing websites. I’ll be sitting and relaxing BAM my arm reaches for my phone.

Northwoods Heathen (@northheathen) reported@WodenWanderer I get it, but it's also interesting that generations of American men have been circumcised, no issue, then gay ******** fetishists on reddit decide it's "mutilation" because they wanna **** dock, & suddenly every libtard thinks his perfectly fine functioning **** is "mutilated"

Taris Resh (@TarisResh) reported@Tarren_Gill Most CT is bots. So its irrelevant. Gamers are on Youtube. Gamers on on Facebook and IG. Hell Reddit has a larger audience than X. Speculators are on CT. Most of the people participating in CT are extractors not customers. And most devs/studios build in web3 for the speculators because theres more money in a token or NFT launch in their eyes than there is in running a really good game. Not that 90% of them even come close to breaking mid tier. Youd be better off with tiktok than X. the problem isnt the platform or medium. Its the design. The way we design these games and the web3 integration into them is subpar. P2E and P&E are likely dead. Not because people dont like making money but because the average gamer is a consumer not an investor. They dont care about ownership or making money. They care about having fun and being able to enjoy their experiences how they want. The moment money becomes involved it becomes a job and thats what escapism wants to avoid, and why a lot of people play games.

daniel (@buildingadlicio) reportedsearched 24 reddit threads and pulled 315 comments for a commission tracking product. the exact buyers barely talked about commissions, while sales reps and msp owners described the same trust problem constantly. we built the first message map from that adjacent group.

The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported@CiroDiMarzio03 @JonahLupton @jeichner5 How won’t Reddit exist in 10 years. Do people start deleting the app and not searching for Reddit content? It’s remarkable that in an AI era it is still one of the most searched websites and people continue to fabricate doomsday cases. They have a SEO problem. It’s not existential because they are under monetized. Meta does $120+ ARPU for US users. Reddit is hardly at $10. Do the math. That gap can bridge and Reddit has massive incremental leverage from a monetization standpoint without having to do anything. Reddit will continue to grow users (international). US markets remain tight. Not sure why you’re making up bear cases.

SilverBoarMedia (@AbcAbc347433) reported@K__Med Get rid of people who hate video games and gamers, gone, ironically that would solve most of the problems we're currently having. It's still amazing to me there was an anti-gun weirdo working on an FPS and Todd Howard reads reddit.

winston (@vibecheck1181) reportedA few days ago I lost my email to a hacker. Reddit, being as helpful as they are gave me an idea to get ahold of YouTube Support in order to fix this. This is my call to YouTube, please help me out here. I do not know my YouTube URL, so I'm reaching out blind here. @TeamYouTube

Rakesh Purohit (@iRakeshPurohit) reported@forgebitz I think Reddit is showing us where the internet is heading. Reddit now blocks all crawlers in robots.txt, while its AI data licensing business with Google and OpenAI has become a meaningful revenue stream. Reddit’s Q1 2026 “Other revenue,” which includes data licensing, reached $39 million, up 15% year over year, according to The Next Web. Its Google deal alone was reportedly worth $60 million a year, according to the Wall Street Journal. At the same time, Reddit says AI search can take its content without sending users back, creating a traffic cannibalization problem. That is why Reddit is also fighting Perplexity in court over alleged unauthorized scraping, according to Reuters. The bigger picture is that the open web is becoming a marketplace. Content creators and platforms create the knowledge, AI companies need that knowledge to answer questions, and the platforms increasingly want payment for machine access. If this trend spreads, tomorrow’s AI search may depend less on what is publicly visible on the web and more on which companies have paid for access to it.

Connor (@buzurke) reported$APP vs $RDDT Two ad businesses that have been beaten up this year: $RDDT is down 33.66% YTD and $APP is down 53.79%. Both businesses have ~90% gross margins and are still growing quickly YoY. But $RDDT still seems to have the better risk/reward ratio to me, as it is only a ~$30B market cap compared to ~$100B for $APP. $RDDT has the larger TAM. Reddit is the 6th most visited website in the world, so whether or not they can continue growing users, they still have a massive network that they can monetize through higher ARPU, which they have already been doing. By the end of next year, Reddit should be doing roughly the same quarterly revenue that Applovin is doing today. Since the businesses have similar margins, I think it’s reasonable to see a path for Reddit to eventually become a $100B company. $APP has more risk, in my opinion, because the main way for them to reaccelerate growth is to gain meaningful share in ecommerce advertising. I have a lot of confidence in their management team and don’t doubt they can accomplish it — I just think it will take time. They are also competing more directly with the hyperscalers. Considering how long it took companies like Meta to build massive ecommerce advertising businesses, I think it will be even harder for $APP as they are just getting started. $RDDT, on the other hand, already has the foundation for ecommerce. If they had started prioritizing monetization 21 years ago like $META did, I think there’s a world where Reddit would already be in the trillion-dollar club. I’m not saying that’s where Reddit is going. But their network effects are so strong that I think it’s going to be very hard for them to fail. Charts: @trychartloom

Usama Ansari (@usamaansari047) reportedIt definitely comes to the kind of task you are doing. For example if it is about doing deep research then definitely I can do it much faster by using ai going to reddit, quora, and forums. If I want to search about a specific customer persona or a product then definitely AI comes up. If it is about problem solving then if you just ask AI to solve it for you, it will not do that. You need to first provide the context: - what is your problem - what other person who has done it - how they solve it You need to give it some context first. Without it it can't do that.

Philip (@philghz) reported@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.

Tommy Pham (@Tommycsx3) reportedVisual headline: Vague idea = expensive guessing. Specific pain = fast validation. Image copy: Bad: “Help creators grow faster” Good: “Help solo B2B founders turn Reddit pain points into landing pages that convert” Why the second wins: - easier to test - easier to explain - easier to sell Vague markets sound broad. Broad usually means fuzzy. Sharp problems let you build a page, run a test, and know quickly if anyone cares. If you can’t say who it’s for, what hurts, and why now - you don’t have a market yet. You have a slogan.

Azu Karr🇺🇲 Ex-Mafia Fox Turned InterviewerVTUBER (@Azu_Karr) reportedSo currently I'm looking into mics, as I have been using a HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Wireless) and I noticed the quality of my audio isn't great. I found a few Reddit threads and hit Amazon. I'd like to hear some of ya'lls inputs on the ones I've narrowed it down to: 1-FIFINE AmpliTank K688T 2-TONOR USB Q9 3-LILANZo BM-800 4-FIFINE T669 All of these get above a 4.6 review so I'm really stumped and don't know what I should be looking for.
