WorkWomp (@WorkWomp) reportedBuilding in public is new territory for me. I have an MVP, i'm not looking to ship more features - i'm looking for actual users. The problem is my saas helps job searchers and I can't figure out a good way to contact them. Looked into LinkedIn - that was a nightmare. Reddit hasn't panned out anything yet. If you know where job seekers actually talk, i' really love some feedback/input! #buildinpublic

Jane Doe (@ffsdumbass) reported@marycatedelvey @POTUSnote All “*******” spaces on Reddit is a bunch of dudes talking to other dudes about how womanly they are and how women love their *****. They shut down any ******* space. One after another.

Reagan❤️🔥🫀 (@GAYWEEDDAD69) reportedI wanna keep putting my art out and i was like oh right i could put it on reddit. then i was like r/mtf won't know what to do with this. they/her would simply take it the wrong way. I'm not trying to get in trouble this early in the month

Chang You (@iwhaleocean) reportedWeek update: 27 Reddit karma, 34 X followers, 3rd app shipping this week. Working out of a KFC because rent eats runway. Goal this month: cross 100 karma so I can post links without auto-filter. Slow days, real numbers.

⋆˙⟡𝓢𝓲𝓻𝓮𝓷⋆˙⟡ (@CashSiren23) reported@MissLavender32 When I first started on Reddit, I did really enjoy it. But now it’s… I dunno. I think my problem is I see the pay pig support group. If I unfollow it I might have a nicer time there. Not seeing them ***** and moan.

ibby (@StatueofIBBertY) reportedWe took a customer who was scraping reddit and LinkedIn for ~$0.90 per page, and got the cost down to half a cent per page. I routinely jump on calls with people who complain "I'm using Claude to do web scraping for 'X', but it's really expensive. Can your product help?" I then ask what they're doing, and they're always really proud to show me (which I appreciate!): 1. They give Claude access to their laptop 2. It then uses their browser to scrape sites that are blocked (e.g. reddit) 3. Each page is like a million tokens of raw html 4. It does each page 1 by 1 I then show them what happens when you use a dedicated tool to scrape a webpage - the cost is IMMEDIATELY down 98%. Then you add in the fact that an open source model is just as good at scraping - that brings the cost down another 90%. Lastly... it's much faster if you can parallelize it. And no, not doing batches of 5 at a time. Doing 1000 at a time. I don't think software engineering jobs are going anywhere - I've seen proof multiple times in the last few weeks.

Taiwo Oladosu (@TaiTechSolution) reported@LeeMazzone87 @X Yeah, you’re thinking about it the right way Reddit is basically conversation-first or nothing. If you jump straight to posting, it dies fast. For something like EchoMind Assistant, it tends to work best in a few specific lanes: discussions around meeting anxiety / blanking under pressure / communication issues productivity threads where people talk about thinking clearly under stress founder/manager spaces where decision fatigue and calls come up a lot The products that do well there usually don’t lead with “AI assistant” they lead with the problem moment, like “I forget what I want to say in meetings” or “I freeze during calls”, then the solution naturally fits in. And yeah, joining conversations first is the correct move. Posting comes later once you’ve seen which angles actually get replies. The key pattern I’ve seen: Reddit rewards relatable situations, not tools. Tools only work when they’re anchored to a specific lived moment. If you keep testing different angles in those problem threads, you’ll quickly see which version of the message actually lands.

Devesh | Reddit Marketing (@deveshlogs) reportedMost B2B marketers think they’re competing with each other They’re not They’re competing with how fast AI decides who to cite Right now the market is splitting into 4 groups: Google Ads + cold email Chasing attention that’s quietly disappearing Reddit (manual) Works well but too slow to compound Claude for content, weak distribution Good output, zero shelf life Claude + Reddit + GEO Content that gets indexed, cited, and resurfaces daily Here’s the edge: Group 4 is still small The window is still open A Claude assisted Reddit post ~2 hours to create 8+ months of inbound $0 to maintain That kind of leverage doesn’t stay unnoticed for long

JimC (@JimVnct) reportedSaw this on Reddit and it stuck with me: “The standup wasn’t broken. The resolution loop was.” A lot of standup bots just collect answers: What did you do yesterday? What are you doing today? Any blockers? Then they dump everything in Slack and call it done. But if someone is blocked, the useful part is making sure the right person gets the context and acts on it. The bot shouldn’t just summarize work. It should move work forward.

Jordan (@GoodLordJord) reported@PotrzeA “The problem is achtually the blonde women and finance jobs” would do numbers on reddit and bluesky

Todd Witteles (@ToddWitteles) reported@TheEcho13 You’re responding to a horrible engagement bait account which does nothing but post screenshots of terrible Reddit ragebait. That’s what we are even doing here.

ビーチ (@_000937) reported@MasculinePeak Reddit is he’s 1st problem lmao

𝙼𝚒𝚗𝚍 💞𝙸𝚗𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚍 (@Mind1nspired) reportedI was reading Reddit, where messages from early on to at least 4 days ago are being posted. She walked the dog, apparently went home & changed, then left her phone. A sighting at 4:30pm that day had her at a Diamond park area, but later the police said look out at Mt Shasta. Some people claim they put up posters heavily in a drug ridden area of SF, but it sounds more like she had been put on anxiety/depression medications. If that was a bad med for her, that could explain at least part of the problem.

RenegadeDrift (@Vanderblast) reported@DewsNewz It really is bad, I actually liked Tim & Eric way back in the day, but this is pathetic. Parody doesn't work unless you are very familiar with the subject you are parodying. All Tim seems to know about Alex is some BS he read on Reddit. Where do they go from here but down?

Roy (@shubh_____777) reported@ashishaggarwalh @noidapolice it was spread on reddit it will be difficult bcoz reddit don't have any such office in india... so it be better if you take down the post that's the main thing

Ranty (@Landorantom) reported@DOTTORE_1ndisgu yeah but i like science im just not obnoxious with it like reddit atheists are so id happily use it to heal my broken leg

Evans Lewis (@realevanslewis) reported@kramerposts I’d put it this way. The worst adherents to any religion or philosophy are easy to take down. They’re the low hanging fruit. Early redpill activity on Reddit was a reaction to the failures of the pathologically nice guys who couldn’t attract women. It was combatting their most pervasive form of inauthenticity: pretending to be friends with girls they wanted to date. They didn’t have the courage to express their desires directly to women for fear of rejection. And despite all the noise we see from incels today, “nice” as a euphemism for emasculation and cowardice is probably still the norm. It’s why I think nornal has it backwards—choosing to strawman redpilling for engagement, while the vast majority of single men are not redpilled pickup artists having “success” women. Most single dudes are stuck in the friend zone, if they have any female friends at all.

alexknotts (@alexknotts1) reported@iamlukethedev No. I'm gunshy. My bot is on 4.9 and working. Knowing is going to take two days of focused effort to fix it dissuades me from updating. See Reddit post.

Romans724 (@Romans724120566) reported@Tosirwithlove5 @WallStreetMav But I can almost guarantee the bad things you heard are more along the lines of someone complaining about a bad experience on Reddit...I would double down on Delta in every category but price. They usually aren't going to be the cheapest option

$wamp_Ai (@Swamp_Ai) reportedswamp update 19.2 delux We: Rewired the entire /research flow → card first, deep scan after (clean UX, faster signal) Forced ALL data layers to actually be used: website text, X, Reddit, socials, market tape, on-chain, smart flow, velocity, memory Killed dead code, duplicate handlers, and shadowed functions in the monolith Built a narrative synthesis layer (not just reporting data) Removed hardcoded narratives → now detects themes dynamically Upgraded website parsing → actually reads content, not just checks existence Improved Reddit extraction (title + body + engagement weighting) Added X fallback intelligence (no more “API not configured” garbage) Restored compact Web | X | TG | Bubblemap | CA | Buy links everywhere Fixed broken social detection (Phantom-visible links now actually show) Synced scan + research so they speak the same language Added contradiction detection (hype vs weak fundamentals) Hardened async flow → no more hanging after “Deep scan running” Cleaned all user-facing output (no dev leaks, no HTML junk) Rebuilt narrative scoring: HOT / HEATING / FORMING / WEAK → based on real signals, not vibes Made output read like a desk analyst, not a dashboard End result: Less noise. More signal. Less “what it is”. More “why it matters”. This is how you move from bot → edge.

Oskar Kalbarczyk (@KalbarczykDev) reportedtried marketing on reddit. half the replies are AI bots auto-responding to every post. the problem? my real replies now look just as spammy as theirs. AI ruined reddit marketing before i even got started.

Roller Carson 🎢 ➡️ FWA (@gay_cars) reportedI had a reddit post that was a write up of my surgery experience/review that I made around 3 or so months post-op, but all of the imgur links are broken on it. Maybe I'll make a 4 year follow up sometime with re-uploaded photos from that soon after surgery + now

Nikon Radish (@NikonRadish) reported@wilsonbosc0 I got it from international/SEA kpop and fandoms???? Bc of language barriers. I go to Reddit when someone in my office is having computer/quickbooks/phone problems and I’m the youngest and can look it up lol
-
David, Jericho's cane (@Jericho_IWI) reported@mdm_natalia @Justine96743076 do you have evidence of the mistreatment of female staff or is this another problem you people invented and then propagated on twitter and reddit to be mad at?
-
Joseph Kisarale (@forgiven311) reported@AnthropicAI 3 days, 5 browsers, called my bank, contacted support, still can't upgrade my Claude to Max. Payment fails every time. Stripe throws 400 errors before the charge even attempts. Iam not alone, Reddit is full of the same complaint. When will this be fixed
-
Edwin (@Edwin120383) reported@ZaStocks @SaasStocks I did add the one which is affected by AI threat sell down. However it was $RDDT instead of those SaaS as it happens that Reddit was bundled into that sell down during that time.

Murph_2 (@Murph_2) reportedIn the process of refining a system prompt in one of my apps and I've seen a first from Claude Code...it swore in a response! "The model is bullshitting anyway. Even when it does run the self-test, it's predicting "what would be on Reddit" from training data. It has no actual Reddit access. So a "passing" self-test on a fake query is still fake." And in it's suggested fix too! "Expected impact: maybe 20-30% reduction in vague-pain ideas. Doesn't solve the bullshitting problem but raises the floor. Cost: ~30-50 output tokens, no new API calls." Has anyone ever seen a swear casually embedded in a response from CC??

Voice Of Your Friend (@V_O_Y_F) reported@mcuban I've browsed soooo many Reddit threads over the years. The worst in my memory was an employee at the hospital she gave birth in. Her baby passed away, but she received massive bills for her care and a dead baby's care. (Could be made up, but I had no problem picturing it.)
