Darrell Lee (@Dae809) reportedWatching Reddit "am I the *******" videos is so funny because it can seem like such a normal story in the beginning and then out of nowhere the edits will say "I don't see how cheating on my wife 18 times has anything to do with my marriage problem" 😭

NovieNova (@Novak253) reportedHanding out my 10 referrals in the Anthropic reddit. @thsottiaux down to 6. ;D

@Coldly (@Just_Codly) reportedSomeone posted the exact way they make $10k a month, step by step, for free, on Reddit. 170 people upvoted it. That's how you know the window is already closing. The post has a title that tells on itself: "How to make $10k/month selling AI websites to local businesses - before everyone catches on." The method is almost insultingly simple. Open Google Maps. Search "plumber" in any city. Click the ones with a broken website or no website at all. That's your lead - a business already making money, just invisible online. Feed the address to an AI site builder. Five minutes later there's a real, professional site sitting there. You didn't design it. You didn't code it. You described a plumber and it built the plumber a website. Record a 30-second screen video. Send one email: "Built you a new site - here's what it looks like." Charge $500 to $1,000, once. The person who wrote this says it's been working for six months. And then says the quiet part: most businesses still have terrible websites, but more people figure this out every week. That's the whole shape of an AI opportunity in 2026. It's not a clever trick. It's a six-month gap between "AI can now do this" and "everyone knows AI can do this." The money lives in that gap. The plumber isn't going to learn this. He's under a sink. The gap is for the person who noticed the tool before the plumber did. By the time a method is a popular Reddit post, the easy version is ending. The people cashing in aren't reading the post. They wrote it six months ago and already moved to the next gap.

Lincoln 🇿🇦 (@Presidentlin) reportedWe are still in the cycle. Thinking of calling it "The Unbecoming of Anthropic". A few big things need to happen to kill public narrative around them. 1) Lose the love of tech Twitter. 2) Have their financials leaked? 3) Have a few big names leave the company 4) Multiple players biting on different parts of their customer base (China, Meta/Xai, OAI) They have already started the first option, tech Twitter does matter since everything flows from that, Reddit, YT, Substack, etc. The people who consume the output from Twitter make up Anthropic's customer base. 2) Have their financials leaked? It is in Anthropic's best interest to massage the numbers in such a way that makes their business more put together. Having their financials leaked will remove a lot of the magic. 3) Have a few big names leave the company It just takes a few names to start leaving, in the same week or month, for Twitter to ask "what the hell is going on" 4) Multiple players biting on different parts of their customer base (China, Meta/Xai, OAI) This one is pretty easy, you don't have to kill their growth. You just have to add more friction and options to the mix. - China either directly hosted or hosted on US servers is a big threat to them, to the sales conversation. What makes it weird is that you don't even have to use Opus, you can use Sonnet and Haiku, but people still opt for Chinese models when Anthropic has (had) better equivalents. They have already covered this leak but seems it wasn't enough, the end customer only sees your SOTA models and is happy finding cheaper alternatives even though they already have them (Sonnet/Haiku). - Meta/Xai They provided options around Opus level models, the bigger benefit is they are household names, easier to sell to other American companies. They don't even need to be open source, it's fine to be clsoed source, cheaper alternatives to Opus. - OAI Same as Meta/Xai but higher class models, they are the biggest rival Anthropic has. All 4 will make it much harder for Anthropic to close the next round. This will make it harder to train the next models. This will create an environment where people leave for newer companies with less baggage and can do all the research they want. Terrible negative cycle. Lower revenue hurts the growth story > unable to close the next round > cause a restriction on frivolous activities or non-essential revenue activities. > cause key researchers to leave for new places > A few become new competitors > new competitors eat into their potential market I really don't think Anthropic is going to IPO this year. TBD on that.

Arthur (@arthurcolle) reportedReddit is crazy like "AITA for taking away HBOMax from my ex girlfriend after she slept with someone else?" Brother the HBO Max account is the least of your problems

Nav (@navgneh) reported@samyak128 Twitter is the 2018-19 reddit now The quality has gone so down Just crying and fake naratives everywhere The only redeeming this about this place is the people still trying to correct stuff I personally cant cope Dont even know how many 1000 people ive blocked

Iseunife The First (@Shawnife) reportedLet me explain why VLC is still free despite having over 6B downloads. VLC doesn’t make money because making money would destroy the only thing that made it reach 6 billion downloads in the first place. VLC grew through a specific distribution loop: tech-savvy users install it once, it works perfectly on every weird video file they throw at it, and they recommend it to everyone forever. IT departments deploy it across entire companies. A Reddit comment from 2009 still drives downloads in 2025 because the answer never changed. That recommendation engine dies the second ads appear. Not slowly. Immediately. The users who drive VLC’s distribution are the exact people who understand what ads mean. Your incentives just switched from “make the best player” to “maximize impressions.” They see it, stop recommending it, and your growth engine shuts off. Run the actual numbers. VLC gets maybe 50 million active users daily across 6 billion total downloads. Typical video player ad rates run $1-3 CPM. Even if you served ads on every playback session, you’re looking at maybe $50-150 million annually at absolute peak optimistic assumptions. Sounds like a lot until you realize what the owner actually traded it for. VLC reaching 6 billion people made Kempf (owner of VLC) the person who built the infrastructure everyone depends on. He runs a video consulting business. He built dav1d, an AV1 codec that powers modern streaming. Being “the guy who kept VLC free” opens every door in video technology. Clients pay him to solve problems because he proved he optimizes for quality over quick monetization. “Former ad-supported media player executive” gets you exactly zero of that leverage. The people celebrating Kempf’s ethics are missing the calculation. He didn’t sacrifice millions for principles. He rejected $150M in highly uncertain ad revenue to build permanent positioning worth multiples of that in everything else he touches. VLC free generates more value for Kempf than VLC monetized ever could. The trade was never even close.

💕 Doll Face✨ (@smoke_nd_pearlz) reportedThat first link says that that complaint only involved one person? The second one is Reddit and honestly this is just like saying a drug isn’t safe because some people had an allergic reaction to it. Her statement was very broad and a lot of people DONT have these issues.

Ooey Kablooey (@ooeykablooey) reported@JigglyPants44 Maybe if you spent less time on reddit and more time clearing the underbrush like your parents and grandparents did, you wouldn’t have this problem.

Janelle (@janesue821) reportedI gave in and now we’re watching a Big Boy 4014 compilation on YouTube. In 20 years when he’s living in my basement and not working (except as a reddit mod) and texting me to bring him chicken tendies I’ll have no one to blame but myself!

ecomchigga (@ecomchigga) reported$127,000 from faceless X accounts nobody knows i own. these 13 lessons cost me either money or months to learn. most of them go against everything the info space tells you to do. 1. the product that sells is never the one you'd build for yourself. search reddit for complaints, not inspiration. 743 upvotes on a rant about a problem nobody solved is worth more than any brainstorm session. the person complaining already wrote your product title, your sales copy, and your target audience in one angry paragraph. you just have to read it. 2. people don't pay for information. they pay for assembly. every answer in your $27 guide exists free somewhere across 40 reddit threads, 12 youtube videos, and 6 blog posts from 2019. the buyer knows that. they're paying you to collect it, organize it, and remove the 94% that doesn't matter. a guide isn't a secret. it's a filter. 3. a $10 product can generate $32 per buyer without you touching anything. configure one upsell on the checkout confirmation page. "one-time offer: [deeper product] $59, 41% off." the card is already on file. the buyer is still in the dopamine window. 25-35% accept. the confirmation screen outsells the product page by 77%. set it once. runs on every purchase forever. 4. the algorithm decides your tweet's fate before any human sees it. a vision-language model called the Banger Classifier reads every post the moment you hit publish. it assigns a quality score and a slop score. high quality opens you to a larger test audience. high slop (AI-pattern content, engagement bait, formulaic structure) caps your distribution before a single person scrolls past. you're auditioning for a robot before you audition for people. 5. your first 30 minutes after posting are worth more than the tweet itself. the engagement cache refreshes every 5 minutes for tweets under 30 minutes old. after that the refresh rate halves. every reply you post in that window carries a 75x engagement weight. one reply-chain is worth 75 likes. most creators post and leave. the ones sitting in replies for 30 minutes are operating on math the others don't know exists. 6. a community with 2,000 free members is not a charity. it's a sales floor. every question a free member asks creates visible activity. every screenshot they share creates proof. every new person who joins and sees 2,000 people already inside having real conversations feels the thing a sales page can never produce: other people already trust this. the free members aren't freeloaders. they're the reason the paid members pay. 7. "i don't think you're ready for this yet" closes more sales than any pitch. 30-50% of stalled DM conversations close the same day after hearing it. the brain treats a disappearing opportunity on a completely different circuit than a patient one. you're not pushing. you're pulling away. that's what makes them reach. 8. an account with 8,400 followers and a backend will outearn an account with 147,000 followers and a linktree every single month. 147K followers. $1,840/month. 8,400 followers. $6,312/month. the bigger account gets 4x the views. doesn't matter. 6 links in a linktree means 6 exits and the buyer's intent bleeds out before they pick a door. one link to one community with one product pinned inside means one path. followers don't make money. plumbing makes money. 9. every off-topic tweet you post lowers the reach of every on-topic tweet after it. the algorithm builds a 1024-dimensional vector for your account based on what you post. one viral meme drifts that vector. every on-niche tweet after it reaches fewer strangers because the system is now less confident about what your account is. the penalty is invisible. you'll blame the hooks. it was the meme from 3 weeks ago. 10. the buyer paying $49 converts at a higher rate than the one who paid $29. for the same file. raise $5 every 20 sales. the product doesn't change. the proof around it does. by sale 100 there are 100 receipts in the community. the person seeing $49 next to 100 confirmed buyers doesn't think "expensive." they think "validated." 11. post more than 3 times a day and you're actively punishing yourself. the AuthorDiversityScorer runs an exponential penalty on repeated authors. your 4th tweet gets roughly 20% of the reach your 1st one got. most people posting 5-8 times thinking they're grinding are mathematically burying their own content. 12. one great tweet should make you money three times. self-repost at 12 hours. no penalty. the algorithm serves it to followers who missed it. repost again fresh at 48 hours when the content cache fully resets and the tweet re-enters the candidate pool as brand new. three performances from one piece of writing. 13. the gap between you and the people doing $5K-$15K/month is not talent. it's one afternoon of building something ugly, pricing it $29, and then not quitting for 4 months while the first $300 came in painfully slow. the information was always free. the tolerance for looking stupid in month 1 was the part that had a price tag. total cost: $69/month. daily time: 38 minutes. no inventory. no clients. no calls. no employees. someone buys, the file downloads, you both move on with your lives.

Disclosure Party (@disclosureorg) reportedSkimming the comments on Reddit and #UFOTwitter should tell you that disillusionment and frustration are rising. This is how they win, and how they have always won. They slow-walk and delay everything until democracy withers away.

jbones49 (@49rguy) reported@amtrusova Beautiful work. Reddit is a mess. They can’t risk losing the narrative. Cant see how this art could have caused that issue but alas here we are. Be proud and enjoy

EpstinyKleinsStrongestBrigader (@NukeRedditNow) reported@Justleftofcent2 @OS2NOX They will link to a 2 second clip of Hasan on stream looking down at his phone as "evidence", and it will be instantly taken as fact and perpetuated around reddit for the next couple days.. But in a week they will be back to claiming Hasan has no power or influence

Kiana St. Klaire⚡️ Las Vegas (@KianaStKlaire) reportedSorry to hear someone is lame enough to do this to you. Karma is very real, though! On Reddit about a year ago, there was a discussion over 3 related accts that girls were saying had mass reported them on X. I blocked all 3, as a cute little experiment: lo + behold, a majority of my coworkers' + my general ranch's accts were shut down, while mine [+ some 🌽☆s' that work with me] accounts are still standing.

Andu (@andupoto) reported@marclou @trust_mrr On Reddit there are hundreds of people who experience this issue, the review algo is broken and is suspending legitimate accounts. Would be good if @nikitabier looks over it to fix it.

Paul Xue (@pxue) reportedReddit just quietly rolled back their login wall for anonymous mobile web browsing and json access. You can now anonymously browse at will again on mobile and see nested replies beyond the first handful openly. My hunch is this was a massive MMM holdout test Reddit ran with either Google or a very very large publishing agency. Results were conclusive enough for a public company to go against shareholder value (more signups) and returned to status quo. Interesting to say the least.

Azmil_Nazran (@azmilnazran) reported@nickrenshaw5 Oh, I see. I saw a lot of people on Reddit with the same issue too. Kinda sad as a Nothing fanboy, I really trusted them. 🥲 What phone are you using now?

just andrey (@andreyiscoding) reportedfounders spend 6 months building the perfect saas. then launch to silence. zero users. zero feedback. nothing. the product was never the problem. no one knew it existed. distribution first. smallest possible product with AI. reddit + X from day one. then build. building alone for half a year is the trap everyone falls into and nobody warns you about it until it's too late.
