    @matthewseIektra I think you’re misremembering how awful that **** was. There’s a popular movie edit on reddit that condenses it down from 7 hours to 3 and it still keeps in all the main heroes’ stuff, most of what it removes are those god awful villains yapping that takes up half the runtime

    @boardyai The faster founders answer this, the more a pattern shows up: they did not wait for people to find them. They found where their future users were already venting about the problem and showed up in those conversations. Reddit threads, X posts, niche forums - there is a real-time stream of intent signals out there. Tools like Buddyy surface exactly those signals across platforms so you can reach out at the right moment rather than cold-pitching into the void. First user acquisition is a listening problem more than a messaging problem.

    @xylo_business @X I’ve worked with a lot of founders and startup owners specifically around Reddit growth. Most people go wrong in the same 3 areas: they focus on finding “easy” subreddits (they don’t really exist long-term) they post too early without building trust inside the community and they treat Reddit like a broadcast channel instead of a conversation system From experience, the strongest results come from: targeting the right problem-driven threads, not just communities building visibility through comments first, then posts and aligning content with what people are already asking, not what the product does Starting your own subreddit can work, but only after you already have external traffic feeding into it — otherwise it stays empty for a long time. That’s why I focus on helping founders structure Reddit properly so they actually get traction instead of just activity.

    @FillmoreWhite @0neisjuan @kaizen000000000 Let’s go slowly. In this conversation alone you have: ~ Failed to recognize the orphan gene problem despite debating it ~ Mischaracterized Axe’s argument twice, attacking positions his paper doesn’t hold ~ Cited a diagram you called “DNA analysis” while your own Reddit link title reads “3000 species arranged in a circular tree based on rRNA sequences” ~ Confused mRNA and rRNA - completely different molecules with completely different functions ~ Failed to grasp that common descent and macroevolution mechanism are separate claims requiring separate evidence ~ Earlier you stated our single cell ancestor had “the four amino acids that make up DNA.” DNA is not made of amino acids. DNA is made of nucleotides. Amino acids make proteins. You then invoked AP Bio as the benchmark for scientific literacy in this conversation - while making an error that AP Bio corrects in the first week.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This is foundational information. You asked where my data is: ~ Axe 2004 & 2010 - published, peer reviewed. I linked the papers BUT you didn’t read them (or lack the mental capacity to do understand them) and then consistently straw maned his claims and attempted to ad hominem attacks against him as evidence instead of just admitting your lack of understanding. ~ Orphan gene literature - published, peer reviewed You brought a misidentified diagram and a Reddit post that directly contradicts your own claim. Where we are is that your education on this topic is insufficient to continue the conversation productively. Skip the AP courses for now. Go back and start with the basics or even a biology for dummies book.

    How to find your first 10 users in a weekend: 1. Search Reddit/X for the exact problem you solve. Use the words your users use, not yours. 2. Find 50 posts where someone's frustrated about it. 3. Help 50 people in the comments. No pitch. 4. 5 will DM you first.

    Side hustle idea that takes 5 minutes to start: 1. Write a ChatGPT prompt that solves a real problem 2. Paste it on @pste_io 3. Share the link on X, Reddit, communities 4. Repeat No Gumroad. No landing page complexity. Just paste → link → sell.

    @davidjackson911 @_Ava_VT No, I disagree. Yeah I read “emotional intelligence 2.0” because it was required for grad school and it was actually really helpful to think about. In a world full of Disney adults and no emotional stability (like you mentioned), I think more emotional stability is warranted. Education about emotional stability can improve emotional stability. Learning how emotion and the brain work, implications for success and relationships, example scenarios, etc. It’s not accurately measurable like IQ, but it is useful when used correctly and not by the sophists on Reddit. And there’s no evidence to suggest the idea itself undermines the idea of IQ - it’s likely just the reddit type people that normally spew their misperception of the concept to you that made you feel that way. They don’t believe in IQ because they have poor EQ (because they know deep down they’re retarded or confused/mentally ill on some level)

    @thepatwalls First 50 customers tell you the idea is broken. A Reddit petition means you tapped a nerve worth defending. Most founders read 3 bad comments and pivot away from the thing that was working. The ones who scale just keep shipping past it.

    I was going through Reddit yesterday and found something unbelievable. My family is very open about my piercings and tattoos. They in fact encourage. But I see families looking down upon girls who get extra piercings and I want to know why ?

    @TradeIdeas They were making posts about it yesterday on Reddit too! Claiming the mods were colluding with short sellers. The main dude posting about it all last week doubled down on his position yesterday but the mods took it down right after for no apparent reason.

    Ha. Someone arguing with me on Reddit because I said Rosie pretends not to know why a lot of the others take issue with her and the way she stirs the pot. The convo with Alicia that she tried to blurt out to Liz is a reason why! #RHORI

    Your ideal buyer just asked ChatGPT which tool to use in your space Your competitor showed up You didn’t This isn’t a content quality problem It’s a placement problem Here’s why AI pulls from Reddit threads not your website r/artificial gets indexed in hours Named frameworks get cited Anonymous advice gets ignored 10 strategic posts over 90 days becomes a signal cluster LLMs can’t ignore Most SaaS brands would fail their first AI audit The fix The GEO Playbook Comment GEO and I’ll send it free

    Cold email is not dead. But “AI + random lead list + 500 emails” is usually just faster spam. For small teams, the better workflow is: 1. Find 10 Reddit / Indie Hackers threads where people complain about the problem 2. Ask AI to extract the exact pain, words, objections, and use cases 3. Build a small list of 20 prospects who match that pain 4. Send a short feedback-first email, not a full sales pitch The goal is not to send more emails. The goal is to stop guessing what customers care about before you write the first one.

    @GermanErwachen Am I banned from Reddit? Not yet. But you should refrain from using a VPN in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue additional network security blocks across more communities, which may put your entire account in jeopardy.

    Most 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

    I just talked to a vibecoder on Reddit He was actually a software developer himself, so working with AI is much easier and much better for him than a non-developer but still... he had issues as the codebase grew starting from scratch works amazingly well for the first stages of the project as things get more complicated, the prompts must be more specialised, and you have to do smaller things in smaller steps so the gain in time you can get shrinks by a lot I am ready to bet that the next few years will still be like the wild west, where devs use AI as companies experiment with all sorts of setups for this we are far away from drawing conclusions but this thing will be here to stay, and we wont figure things out at least by 2030

    @hogsbreathvip82 @Australis_Felix Heh I responded to that post and explained how immigration is a big contributor. Haven’t checked back yet but since it’s Reddit I know it’ll have been down voted to hell, if not deleted by a mod for threatening social harmony

    @sfluizawer There was a forever alone forum on Reddit for women (women who never experienced love), and they shut it down because they were flooded with requests. Femcels usually want the same kind of man that attractive women can get.

    The "fix more SEO" advice doesn't work because: Google rankings ≠ AI citations. Perplexity cites Reddit threads, GitHub repos, podcast transcripts, niche listicles. If those sources don't mention you, no SEO budget will save you.

    My loser parents and a bunch of douche bags got me banned (again) from Reddit, after this comment was going viral. The kind of stupid *** comments that they sent my way after to kick me while I'm down claim that I'm an "ultra biased lefty ******" who...*checks notes* thinks I'm..."Lawrence O'Donnell?" I've literally never met a Larry I like. You people are out of your ******* minds. Some call me MAGA (which is dead, I killed it) and now I'm also a communist? I just ******* hate *both sides* and people think that's anarchy. Absolute deranged.
