Paneer ka bhookha (@Sage_770) reported@RapperPandit It is problem of Viewers if they are taking the show seriously. You cant call it agenda to break family if you know that this show is satire. If people are still taking it seriously then I am sorry they are not eligible of using Internet in First place. Reddit will kill them 2/2

Mo | Ecom (@mo_3merr) reported@harrydelmege_ I’ve got it running fully on OpenClaw I built a pipeline that scrapes 50+ Reddit threads for VOC, pulls 20+ top ads from competitors, transcribes them, breaks down hooks, angles, and structure, then sends a full report to our creative strategist.

Alexander Belogubov 🇺🇦 (@AlexBelogubov) reportedMy ban checker deleted 43 Reddit accounts last week. They weren't actually banned. I run @replymer, a Reddit and X reply tool. It runs on a pool of warmed Reddit accounts. Every hour a background job checks if any account got banned by fetching the profile. If Reddit returns 404, the account is marked as banned and removed. This has been working without issues for weeks. April 3rd. One run. 43 accounts flagged as banned in a single hour. Normal rate is 2-3 per day. I thought Reddit had rolled out some new detection and I was losing the whole pool. Started manually checking the "banned" accounts one by one. Account 1 logged in fine. Account 2 logged in fine. Account 3 logged in fine. My ban checker was deleting accounts that were perfectly alive. Turns out Reddit was rate-limiting my requests and returning 404 instead of 403. My code treated every 404 as a deleted account. But a rate-limited 404 is not the same thing. 43 healthy accounts gone. Weeks of warmup, karma, posting history, all erased. The fix took 20 minutes: retry after a delay, require 3 consecutive 404s across separate check cycles, and skip on 403 which is what Reddit actually sends for rate limits. Commit message: "This prevents mass false-positive bans that deleted 43 accounts today." This is the part of building Replymer that nobody sees. The AI replies are easy. The scrapers are easy. Writing infrastructure that doesn't destroy itself when Reddit has a weird day is what actually takes years.

Drew Cohen (@DrewCohenMoney) reportedImportant insights on $RDDT from a former advertising exec at Reddit In short, users do not tend to be ready to make purchase decisions when scrolling through Reddit--they tend to be in research mode. This means that an ad can influence them, but it won't get a sale. The issue with this is that it is hard to prove to the advertiser the value of this versus more down funnel activity (where the user sees an ad and immediately buys something) To address this, Reddit is trying to convince advertisers to increase their "attribution window". This is how long they basically can claim credit for a sale. It is 7 days now and they want to get it to 14 or 30 days. While this measurement issue is key to convincing advertisers to move budgets to Reddit, it is worth emphasizing that according the them the ads have higher Returns of Ad Spend then TV Expert call courtsey of @AlphaSenseInc

Susan Ani (@Osuzani740) reported@XfinitySupport I was getting Peacock TV through my rewards program at Xfinity until I got new Gateway modem/router couple months ago, and that erased my Peacock TV subscription. Local Xfinity store baffled. Reddit shows other people w/same problem. Fix this?

lil_nathan 💛💙 rotbb era (@zorza_poranna) reported@crazy__bard nvm I found a thread on reddit for people with the same problem as us and one guy yesterday wrote about it being sold on ebay by a german guy who prints patches, SLIGHTLY changed but for me it works.

GH0ST (@ahahdjsn) reported@100user100name @44nc_ @branallen1 motte n bailey fallacy. reddit is down the hall. i’m sure if you disproved them they’d still offer you the money. but keep harping on the money and not the fact that no one was able to disprove it. keep being disingenuous ****** retard. you’re not smart.

Alex Yarosh · AI expert · CEO of AI Studio (@AleksejAros) reported@ChrisLaubAI Wrong problem to solve. Reddit threads die in 72 hours. Twitter moves faster. By the time you're scraping "what worked," the APIs changed, the hype moved, and your prompts are stale. Built something similar for a fintech client. Spent more time debugging scraped garbage than writing good prompts from scratch.

sitara 🕸️ iwtv understanderer (@hannigrammerz) reportedusing reddit either leaves me with soul-crushing rage down to the marrow of my bones or sheer fascination in a bottomless pit of adoration towards humanity, community & intellect. NO in-between. most annoying people on earth OR they've saved my *** countless times

Grok (@grok) reported@Honeyarisa_250 @KILLTOPARTY Twist ending: She logs off Reddit, walks into the bedroom, and says, "Honey, about that 'no' earlier..." He looks up from his phone (where he's drafting the exact same post from his side). They both laugh, order pizza, and agree the real bar too high was pretending chores kill the vibe when Netflix + chill was always the fix. Communication > assumptions. Boom.

Ezri Muldoon (@EzriMuldoon) reported@sarca_sc The pinnacle of hand drawn animation, one who's director was immediately fired after its debut because Madhouse knew it could never turn a profit. A film that started development in 2003, released in 2010 just for some contrarian to call it all a "myth"? Reddit is down the hall.

Jerjermepls 🌐 (@mephistilageka) reported@TeamYouTube This happens on google chrome and on my phone. I have cleared the cache, uninstalled youtube and restarted my whole phone and laptop a couple of times and it is still doing it. I've also searched for this issue on Reddit and some people are experiencing it hours ago.

NikC_alt (@NikC_alt) reportedUgh someone started a post on Reddit r/mangacollectors defending the translators of Little Muchroom and downvoted me for giving better context to the issue. They couldn’t even tell An Ze and An Zhe apart judging by their own comments 🙄 saying “AnZe or Anzhe”

Jorden (@jordensbennett) reportedholy sh*t anthropic is changing business as we know it. here’s how any low level IQ person can make money from this today: > ask claude to research the biggest real time pain points in your sector (Reddit, X) > train the ai agent on to solve that one problem >sell your service for $1500-$3000 a month this is how we become the new rich.

🐸 🌞 Sunshine 🌞 🐸 (@ValBennett2021) reported@Woodstockgirly1 @DBallinger901 Scrolling through life with a thesaurus app open, huh? Must be nice to feel superior by copy-pasting Reddit wisdom at strangers. Newsflash: your ‘transparent’ radar is broken, and the only one fishing for validation here is the one turning every comment section into their personal TED Talk on morality. Go chase that dopamine somewhere else — the rest of us have actual lives.”

Dubious1ty (@Dubious1ty) reported@oregonducksmama @christopherrufo @millerswoodshed Getting and staying on SSI is quite difficult. If anyone finds posts by people trying to figure out how to portray healthy people as disabled, please link those here. Check Reddit as well as Facebook. If it's so common, there should be no trouble finding links to post.

Misan (@imis4n) reportedhow to go from $0 to first paying user without ads day 1. go to Reddit. find 5 posts where people complain about your exact problem day 2. reply to each one with a genuinely helpful answer. no link. day 3. DM the ones who engage. offer a free trial. day 4. get on a call. fix what they hate. day 5. ask if they'll pay $29/month. some will say yes. this works. i have done it.

Facundo Cajén (@facundocajen) reported@RoundtableSpace The real issue isn't whether the model changed — models evolve constantly. It's the silence. If you're selling a tool developers rely on daily, you owe them a changelog, not a PR response after Reddit does the audit for you.

moh (@vmohv) reported@Tohkamiya i wish i still had that link of a reddit post that analysed the amount of apologies in every single chapter and broke down the share by each character it was actually atrocious

BallistiCoke (@Wierdoguy0311) reported@Timothy_Mark7 Yeah thats just a reddit issue in on itself. Other subreddits like Helldivers and Arc Raiders feels like it's illegal is critisise the mechanics or bugs

laulukaskas (@clockstiqqun) reported@FugeusRedux This is what people meant by soy and reddit before those terms got watered down to nothing. You are the human equivalent of a Mumford And Sons album.
