-
AaricBro (@AaricBro) reported@NexelGTA Sadly this problem isn’t limited to Reddit, you try asking anyone anything about something and over half the time you might just get someone who responds with to google it. And sometimes google isn’t even that helpful!
-
WildcatZed (@WildcatZed) reported@BracketNky @criglermedia @NKUNorse I will join. I have been having trouble getting my Reddit app to open recently. I guess I will have to try a reinstall.

odin32 (@TheKakrots) reportedWhile going through the rants and raves on reddit on saas and micro saas products by bootstrapped founders.... I've noticed that its really distribution thats the biggest gap and no amount of apps will bridge that gap unless you have gone through those problems yourself
-
Stuhlinger (@Stuhlinger96) reported@bokuwadoctor81 @NexelGTA That’s because it breaks Reddit tos and could get that sub shut down.

ur fav juicy babe🙂↕️✨ (@LilBlackTia_) reported@bysimonemalcolm It is!!! I’m this 🤏🏾 close to going on Reddit and asking folks how it looked when they saw it up close in the terrible front row seats to see if it’s worth it😭💀

SignalMelo (@signalmelo01) reported@ConnorShowler Cheap automation often backfires on Reddit. Focus on genuine engagement and slow, quality warmup to avoid getting flagged or banned.

tegri (@my_epic_burner_) reported@zevahi_ @T33NXTC @whoisambivalent You’re not a moron for being chronically online, and a Google search didn’t even help me. Pipe down and go back to Reddit, for the love of Fid

Chaminda Delpagodage (@chams_builds) reported@sir4K_zen do people complain about their tools/problems on x though? I see that on Reddit of course.

Shadab (@Shadabshs) reported24 hours after launching ThreadRankHQ, we had: - 18 waitlist submissions - 9 pilot customers - $441 MRR committed By the time we shut it down, we had 6 paid pilots. The product actually did get interest, but the hard part was making Reddit comments survive consistently enough to build a business on top of them.

Maggie Mustaklem (@maggieselfie) reported@mhawthorne I think it already is with Reddit, right? They're locking it down.
-
Ian kiprono (@Carson_001) reportedreddit is where people describe problems before they know how to name them. no personal brand attached. no reason to sound smart. someone at 11pm typing "does anyone else have this issue with" then describing exactly the thing i've been building for.
-
Trung HQ (@codeonsunday) reported@hello_code_ @moonfarm_dev true but sadly i don't believe in Reddit anymore because nowadays bots everywhere. what if an SaaS seeded fake problems to make up the data? Github issues sound the only bright side for now (at least) Thanks @moonfarm_dev !

Marthandan | മാർത്താണ്ടൻ (@BharataPutran) reportedInstagram is full of posts like this. Reddit is always (24x7x365) like this though. Government communications are terrible. Have been since about 2020. Internal feedback loop seems to be non existent too.

Pavel Osadchuk (@xakpc) reportedI think you are wrong here. There is no superintelligence, there is no even regular intelligence in current AI systems. What they do and do good is produce more of everything: code, text, media. Producing more does not mean it's good - it just more. Appstores are overflown with pointless similar apps, same-colored landing pages produced as much as never before and absolutely identical shorts flooded all the media But zero multiplied on 1000 is still zero. The carrot here is not actually an AI, but big accounts who have a way to easily capitalise existing audience with AI products one way or another. Their successes are flashy and fast, because long part of building is short now, and long part of marketing they have solved before. Others chasing it by creating the very same product in hope to get a buck from it. But without the second long part they just end with nothing, give up and move on on the next flashy thing. Talking from experience. You could see it at the bottom of reddit, hackernews, product hunt, all these desperate attempts to **** a story "I faced this kind of problem so I created this". No you didn't and you didn't. You write it because AI "think" it's the best way to write a header. You most likely didn't even read a post you posting. That's why build-in-public in general is dead, OSS in general is terrible and stores stop accepting new apps. But I see where AI is absolutely super helpful in this and gfs is a great example. You're absolutely right here. Non-engineers could solve own problems as we engineers could do before in a fraction of time. Write powershell scripts to cut pictures, work with excel and automate like 90% of daily work even without knowing what is a variable - that's amazing, I saw it in person and it's beautiful Builders also benefit from the tool. The oldest problem was that app isn't good enough, not finished enough to be published. And most apps was never released because of that, entire MVP concept was invented to fight it. Now we don't need it, because a perfect finished polished app could be done in a fraction of time. That means there would be more quality good apps from people who care about quality eventually. And this is also good

The Redcaps (@TheRedcapsNet) reported@Nobleshield @Marky_X_ Then don't get it - no one is saying you have to - what is being called out by many is that the reddit thread (really the blog post) is a hit piece & bad faith arguments out to rip someone down You can like or dislike anything you want - you (global) don't need to be a ****

Huzaifa (@ihuzaifadev) reportedSkip Sales Navigator if you're bootstrapped. Reddit is free and faster. → Search your problem keyword in subreddits → Filter by "top this month" → DM people already complaining → Skip the pitch, ask about their setup They're already sold. They just need the product. #saas

End Feminism (@Sam73616329) reported@Pirat_Nation The fact that he uses reddit is a big problem, only gay and woke are left there

Baibhav 𐃏 (@baibhavbista) reported@Pebble @ericmigi btw @ericmigi , maybe this is a side effect of spending too much time on reddit, but I am a bit clumsy, and so concerned about breaking the glass on my pebble (and losing access to the watch I love) I know yall offer screen replacements (for free even!), but since I am in Nepal, getting the device to you for that would be a big issue I also know that you're planning on making replacement screens available which I appreciate a lot! That way I could buy backups!! My one request for you is to make an official pebble case/bumper, for people like me who are concerned about this. I know community ones exist, but official ones would probably have better tolerances and fit the watch better. Multiple color options would also provide a way to customize the watch sometimes.

Pizza Time 🏳️🌈🌹📕 (@PizzaTime262495) reported@Kalergi__ Looked into it again after that stuff went down a couple years ago, the evidence is really shaky and the blurred picture of said victim could be anyone. Plus the accusation was made on a burner Reddit acc that was deleted after posting.

NolaR (@_NolaR_) reported@Swampist @HelenaMorenoLA Go to the NOLA Reddit sub and look at all the chuds complain about how the city is so different and not like it used to be. Well yeah, when you shut the economy down for a year like a bunch of scared dipshits, that tends to happen. We don’t all have WalMart money.

Kildzr 🇺🇲 (@kildzr) reportedRotten Tomatoes says The Odyssey has a 97% Audience Score. The raw JSON data proves it's actually 56%. Rotten Tomatoes made a major change to how audience scores were calculated back in 2019. Many people don't realize what happened, but this single change is why The Odyssey score currently sits at a glowing 97%, yet standardizing the data properly reveals it is actually 56%. The discrepancy comes down to how RT creates the "Verified Audience" score versus the "All Audience" score. The Background: "Push" vs. "Pull" Before 2019, RT used a "pull" mechanic: an unverified user had to actively decide to leave a review, log in or create an account, navigate to the movie page, and submit their rating. After 2019, RT shifted the primary score to a "push" notification via ticket processors like Fandango. A ticket buyer walking out of the theater gets a prompt: "Did you like the movie? Tap 1 to 5 stars." They tap a star, and they're done. Removing UI friction is fine on paper, but making "Verified Audience" the default score under the new "Popcornmeter" branding changed everything. (And yes, given how predictable the resulting score inflation was, this was likely deliberate obfuscation by RT.) How to See the Real Numbers Yourself Fortunately, the old "pull" audience data is still sitting right inside RT's page source code—if you know where to look: Open The Odyssey on Rotten Tomatoes. Right-click anywhere on the page and select View Page Source (or press Ctrl+U / Cmd+U). Press Ctrl+F and search for media-scorecard-json. A few lines down, you'll see a JSON data block that looks like this (the likedCount and notLikedCount are what we want): {"audienceAll":{"certifiedFresh":"certified","averageRating":"4.6","bandedRatingCount":"5,000+ Ratings", "likedCount":7858,"notLikedCount":646, "reviewCount":1719,"score":"92"...}{"audienceVerified":{"certifiedFresh":"certified","averageRating":"4.8","bandedRatingCount":"5,000+ Verified Ratings", "likedCount":7360,"notLikedCount":258, "reviewCount":1126,"score":"97"...} Extracting the True "Pull" Score To find the actual sentiment of independent web users, we just need to isolate the unverified votes from the combined "All Audience" pool: Verified ("Push") Score: 7,360 likes / (7,360 + 258 total) = 96.6% (This is the 97% Popcornmeter score RT displays prominently for The Odyssey.) Unverified ("Pull") Score: Unverified Likes: 7,858 - 7,360 = 498 Unverified Dislikes: 646 - 258 = 388 Calculation: 498 / (498 + 388) = 498 / 886 = 56.2% (This is the more valid audience score for The Odyssey.) Summary Out of 886 active Rotten Tomatoes users who – at the time of this writing – navigated to the site on their own to rate The Odyssey, only 498 (56%) rated it positively. The current generated 97% score displayed so prominently is simply an artifact of a push notification pipeline heavily biased toward opening-weekend ticket buyers. Credit: RoryTate on Reddit

☭ Punished Troonkhachevsky ☭ (@revanchistttt) reported@ClosetFurry69 @MinModulation we have repeatedly put down people who act and dress this way for years. i do question those that subscribe to the amazon basics skirt go spinny reddit culture when they frequent the same places that allow sissy porn and disallow discussion of DIY

The Geek Buzz (@geekthedog) reported@kevinnbass wrong again and that's no proof of anything. Attached is a table breakdown of the numbers being purposely spun. So we upload your screenshot ask Grok, and grok replies: The Table Matches the Data The table correctly breaks down the snapshot from the Reddit post: * Verified Audience (the main score RT shows): ~97% (7,360 likes / 7,618 total). * All Audience (verified + unverified): ~92%. * Unverified remainder (what the post calls the "real" or "pull" score): ~56%. The math checks out exactly as described. RT's official Popcornmeter (the one prominently displayed) is the Verified score. RT's Stated Position Rotten Tomatoes is transparent about this. Since the 2019 change: * The default/main audience score for theatrical releases is the Verified Audience score (ticket buyers confirmed via partners like Fandango). * This was explicitly designed to combat review-bombing and make the score more reliable for people deciding whether to see a movie. * You can toggle to "All Audience" (which includes everyone), and both verified and unverified reviews are visible. The verified system biases toward people who actually paid and saw it in theaters (often more enthusiastic early viewers), while unverified ratings can include people who didn't see it, late viewers, or those motivated to rate for other reasons. So, What's "the Real" Audience Score? The Verified score is the primary one they want you to see. It's their trustworthy metric. The unverified "pull" score reflects self-selected internet users (pre-2019 style), and the verified one is inflated by actual viewer prompts. Verified reduces fake ratings. Unverified is broader but more susceptible to noise or organized campaigns. For The Odyssey specifically, the live Verified score remains very high (~97% with thousands of ratings), while the All Audience is lower but still positive. The 56% is a narrow slice — valid data, but not the full or primary picture. The Reddit post isolates the smallest unverified bucket and presents it as the definitive "real" number. It's interpretive framing. RT isn't hiding anything—it's all in the data and explained on their site.
