    @nerijusoftas @LandingBoost thank you man! yeah, I think Reddit might just be a bad fit for this kind of tool. I tried a lot of different angles and it was still really hard to convert. Either that, or the product itself is the problem lol.

    What If We’ve Misunderstood What’s Making Us Stressed? Maybe modern stress doesn’t only come from having too little. Maybe it also comes from having too much to choose from. Hear me out. Barry Schwartz wrote The Paradox of Choice more than two decades ago. His argument was simple: some choice gives us freedom, but too much can make us anxious, regretful and less satisfied. I think the internet has made that problem much bigger. Because today we don’t just have more choices. We have infinite information about those choices, endless ways to evaluate them, and constant visibility into the options we rejected. Almost every part of life has become an optimization problem. My wife often tells me I take far too long to decide between options. She is right. Give me three hotels and I’ll probably choose quickly. Give me 300 hotels, thousands of reviews, Reddit threads, YouTube videos, Google ratings, Instagram photos and five booking platforms, and suddenly I feel compelled to find the right one. Breakfast was once breakfast. Now it can be evaluated for protein, carbs, glucose spikes, processing, gut health, calories and longevity. What should have been a simple decision becomes research. I suspect many of us are doing this all day without recognizing it as a source of stress. For most of human history, a lot of stress came from scarcity: too little money, security, access, opportunity or control. Modern markets have solved an extraordinary amount of that. But abundance creates a different problem. Once there are enough options, the question changes from: “Can I find something good?” to: “How do I know I picked the best one?” The second question has no natural end. The internet did not merely increase the amount of information available to us. It removed the point at which information runs out. Every decision now contains another decision: When do I know enough to stop researching? More choice also changes how we experience the outcome. If there was only one reasonable option and it went badly, we blame circumstance. If we compared twenty options before choosing, we start wondering: Did I get this wrong? Choice creates agency. But agency also creates responsibility. The more information we have access to, the harder it becomes to say, “I couldn’t have known.” There is another layer to this. There is the problem of the choices we did not make. You book Goa and Instagram shows you Japan. You take the stable job and LinkedIn shows you someone who quit theirs and built a company. You buy a house and watch the stock market rally. You invest in stocks and hear about the house that doubled. For most of history, many counterfactuals were invisible. Today they are continuously placed in front of us. We have made opportunity cost permanently visible. We are no longer just living the life we chose. We are repeatedly shown fragments of the lives we didn’t. None of this requires companies to be doing anything wrong. Each platform is behaving rationally. More restaurants, more hotels, more products, more shows, more opportunities. But there is an interesting asymmetry: The company captures the value of expanding your options. The consumer absorbs the cognitive cost of processing them. And perhaps that explains why, in a world of abundant choice, the ability to remove choices becomes increasingly valuable. A trusted doctor. A favourite restaurant. The same shoe brand. An index fund. A reliable adviser. A familiar hotel. A routine. We often think loyalty means: “I believe this is the best.” Sometimes it may simply mean: “I trust this enough that I can stop thinking about it.” That isn’t laziness. It is cognitive compression. And technology itself seems to be moving in this direction. The internet first gave us nearly infinite choice. Then recommendation algorithms emerged to help us navigate it. AI may take this one step further. The internet said: Here are all your options. Algorithms said: Here are the options you are most likely to want. AI may increasingly say: Tell me what you want. I’ll choose. The interface shifts from selection to intent. We spent decades equating freedom with having more options. But beyond a certain point, more options require more attention, more research, more comparison, more responsibility and more regret. Scarcity is stressful because you don’t have enough options. Abundance may be stressful because you can never be sure you chose the right one.

    I asked someone on Reddit whether learning DSA backwards would’ve helped build the thing first, hit the wall, then meet the data structure. His answer: “I learned these subjects all isolated from real world problems… so naturally forgot these subjects.” That’s why I’m building BuildCode. He said it better than my landing page does.

    Elden Ring, a game I love dearly, got a small content pack today. It also has a very popular Seamless Coop mod, allowing two or more people to play through the game together... well, seamlessly. It's great, but as it's a mod, it breaks on every patch. I threw Luna Max at the problem, and she updated the mod with one prompt, 30 minutes or so. When playtesting it, I expected it to break at various points where the new content was added - it never did, not even one crash. I joined the Seamless Coop discord server to check the official mod status, and share the good news. Apparently the dev is unavailable so it'll be a week or so until it's updated. When I shared that the mod actually just works with a few small tweaks found by AI (all very transparent, no real risk of malware), people got mad that AI bad because environment and artists and something - the usual. When I shared a guide on how to do it yourself, the message was deleted because it's AI slop. When I rewrote it by hand, it was deleted because the mod is technologically illiterate and didn't want to risk anything. People started accusing me of lying - surely I can't really be playing the mod in coop, the discord mods said it's impossible, and they are almost as infallible as reddit mods. Someone asked me to send screenshots - I did, then they were deleted to avoid spoilers. Everything I showed was literally (a) the main advertising of the content pack, and (b) the starting equipment of new classes. People kept asking if it's possible to play the new version with the mod, everyone kept saying "no, you have to downgrade your game", I would sometimes chime in with "yea you can actually, it's not hard", until I got banned. Result? My friend and I are quite possibly the only people on the planet right now who had two armored horses in the game. Gamers were a mistake.

    A deal died on a sales call over one line. Budget was confirmed. Timeline was agreed. Then the prospect said: 'I'm not interested, I saw your reviews.' The call ended in under two minutes. Gone because of a Trustpilot page nobody had touched in eight months. And the worst part? That wasn't even the worst case. Most people don't even show up. Most founders think the fix is a flawless rating. It isn't. A 5.0 average with six reviews looks like it was bought, and buyers doing deals over $10K+ know it. What you want is a 4.6 to 4.8 with visible neutral comments. Here's the shape of it. Say 100 prospects land on your Trustpilot page before a call. If that page shows fewer than 10 reviews, roughly a third bounce without ever booking, based on the pattern we see across client accounts. So before your next sales push, fix the page. Get an organic spread of reviews before your next sales push (What) Stop chasing a perfect star rating and start building a review spread that looks real: mostly strong, a few honest 4-star notes, dated across months instead of days. (Why) Buyers who land on a review page with almost no reviews, or a suspicious flawless average, bounce before they ever get on a call with you. (How) Do these things: 1. Pull your last 90 days of closed-won clients and email 15 of them today asking for a two-line review. 2. Space the requests so reviews land over 10 to 14 days, not all on the same day. 3. Reply publicly to every review within 48 hours, including the 4-star ones. 4. Add your Trustpilot link to your email signature and LinkedIn banner within the hour. The fix is building a stack that looks like it happened naturally over time. We aim for at least 25 reviews before a client leans hard on outbound, spread across 60 to 90 days, with two or three honest 4-star notes mixed in. Dates matter as much as scores. 12 reviews posted on the same Tuesday looks manufactured, because it literally is. 12 reviews posted across 6 weeks looks like a business that gets feedback and takes it to heart. Here's the math we walk clients through. If a $15,000 average deal closes at 20 percent from booked calls, and 30 percent of prospects check reviews before booking, fixing a broken review page can recover roughly 6 percent of total pipeline that was quietly leaking before the call ever happened. Nobody notices this leak on a dashboard. But when I see abnormal movement in show rate, the first thing I check is a quick Google search, then Trustpilot, then Reddit. Control the narrative. If this was useful, here's where to go next: Want to work with us? Send me a DM.

    Doubling down on this, here's exactly what I would do: STEP 1: I'd use GetHooked to research the brands I wanted to work for as a strategist. I'd probably pick about 50 brands that I would think I'd like to make ads for. Then, I'd sort through their ad libraries, trying to deduce what their winners were. I'd be looking at performance metrics, how often these ads are running, how many placements these ads are running in, and the duration. You can see most of this in Gethooked (or Trendtrack). It's not going to be precise, but if an ad's been running for a long time, it's likely doing well for them. STEP 2: Next I'd start researching their customer and product, about as deeply as I possibly could. That would mean manual work on Reddit. Do not have AI do this for you, especially if you are a beginner. Doom scroll Reddit, then doom scroll some more. You're going to want to go to the subreddits for those topics, and you're going to want to get deeply immersed in the conversation: the words being used, the emotions being displayed, the frustrations and the alternatives being used by these people to solve their problem. You should be getting ideas for ads as you're reading, dump them into a google doc for review later. Once I felt I was familiar enough with who the customer was, what their problems were, what their language was, and the product itself and how it uniquely solves their problems, I could start making some ads for them. STEP 3: I probably wouldn't even bother creating brand-new ads for these brands. I would go back to those winners that I found, and I would simply remake those to save myself time, with new hooks or leads or format variations. This would be a better showcase of your skills and save you a bunch of time. At the very least they'd see that I understand their customer, that I spent the time picking apart their winning ads, and that I would be a useful member of the team who could put together iterations of their winning ads. I'd probably pick one ad from the brand and do three variants of it. STEP 4: I would try to find a decision maker at the brand using X and any kind of research available. Do they have a creative director? A CMO? Do they have a creative strategist? Can you get in contact with the founder? It may sound like that would be difficult to do, but I promise you, it's not that hard to find out who's working on what and connect with them. Then I'd simply send them a short pitch on what I created. No fluff, no bullshit weird sales tactic, no DMs written like you're Gary Halbert or some creepy copy-pasta message. I would just straight shoot them: "Hey NAME, was researching your brand and It looks like this ad has been a winner for you, so I thought I would make some variations. You're free to use them, no charge to you. If they do well, hit me back. If they don't do well, I'll probably never hear from you again. Which is totally fine" STEP 5: Follow up. Not like desperate loner who just got dumped, but after a few days goes by just gently nudge. Follow ups matter. Whenever I have an inbox full of applications I need to review, I tend to go back to the people who followed up first (mostly because they're at the top of the inbox) but also because they followed up, which means they're at least a tiny bit more hungry than the person who never bothered. Just keep doing this until you land some work. And I know the next question you'll ask is "what should I charge?" and the best answer to that is charge them whatever makes you feel uncomfortable when you say that number out loud. As a beginner the dds are that you'll massively undervalue your self anyways (very common btw), and learning how to properly price your work is part of the learning curve.

    @dermy_wermy @TheQuartering He found one 4 MONTH OLD rando post to make this sweeping claim. If this was a real problem from 4 months ago, then it would be known. Further, Jer used a different pharmacy, and we don't know the brand the old pharmacy used, it could be the same as Costco now uses. Further further, some rando writes on (reddit??) that his vet said blah blah blah is hardly proof of anything. So this isn't anything but Jer trying desperately to substantiate this BS story he's peddling.

    Everyone is trading RDDT like an ad stock. The interesting 2027 story is who pays for the last large pool of real human conversation on the internet. Q2: $805M revenue, +61%. Ads $762M. Gross margin 91%. Adj. EBITDA 43%. Cash $2.8B. CapEx basically zero. That’s the machine. The setup: • U.S. ARPU $11.85 • International ARPU $2.26 • ~197M Americans on Reddit every week • Only ~53M daily They don’t need a new country. They need weekly people to show up daily — and they need the rest of the world to monetize like the U.S. Then there’s the catalyst nobody can model cleanly: Google’s ~$60M/year data deal expires in 1H 2027. OpenAI is in the mix too. Total licensing is still a rounding error next to ads — until you notice Google’s AI Overviews are using Reddit to answer the query and cutting the click. Huffman’s line: every variable has changed since those deals were signed. They’re pushing dynamic pricing, not another flat fee. WSJ has already floated that they might not renew if the terms are wrong. That’s the tension. Google doesn’t need to buy Reddit to need Reddit. Reddit doesn’t need Google’s check to have a business. Both need the same thing: authentic threads in a web filling up with slop. 100M U.S. daily users is the slogan. Closing the $11.85 vs $2.26 ARPU gap is the money. 2027 licensing is the event. Not financial advice. Just the part of the story the multiple is pretending is simple.
