-
Ron@latticeproxy.io (@LatticeProxy) reported@BrianVia @AdamRackis I shut down my reddit because of the whole X bluesky change they did on the site. their stupid grudge made me dip on that product. which sucks.
-
Shubham Agarwal (@ShubhBlue2308) reported@VaibhavSisinty @VaibhavSisinty could it be just some error which might get rectified? I mean why on earth would AIs stop using reddit for human answers?

Vibe Marketers HQ (@vibemarketersHQ) reportedtoday it’s Reddit. tomorrow it could be any channel. the more AI slop fills the internet, the bigger question becomes: what makes our content worth trusting? the recent drop in Reddit citations from ChatGPT got me thinking about this. not because I think AI slop caused the drop. we don't know that. but because so much of the conversation immediately became about where brands should go next. I am not sure chasing the next channel solves the bigger problem. linkedIn can fill up with AI-generated posts. youtube can fill up with AI-generated videos too. the channel changes. the quality problem follows. and I don't think the answer is to stop using AI either. the question is what are we giving AI to work with? give it: - customer conversations → real problems + language - first-hand experience → things you actually learned - original data → something others cannot simply regenerate - experiments + results → what actually happened - expert POV → judgment, not consensus - primary sources → claims people can verify - real examples → proof behind the point - contrarian evidence → let AI challenge your assumptions then use AI to find patterns, research deeper, validate claims, connect ideas, structure the thinking, draft and repurpose. AI can do a lot of the work without being the source of the truth. don't use AI to manufacture more information. use it to extract, strengthen and distribute the signal you already have.

KatFlsh (@Leafy_Lynx127) reported@gernigernigern @CapLARP @NoGenerals The guy in the video didnt read reddit or X and desmond still got his *** banned so ignoring social media doesnt really fix the community issue

Rulta (@Rultacom) reportedSomeone asked on Reddit: what's the most annoying problem in this industry that money can actually fix? The answers: 1. Backups and your own site. A cloud backup plus a hard drive, and a personal link page you fully control 2. An accountant. Plenty of creators said they save money on top of the time 3. An analytics or CRM tool. Real insight into what performs and where traffic comes from 4. Better gear. Good lighting means less content getting deleted for looking off 5. A takedown service. Tracking down leaks yourself gets overwhelming fast 6. Faster internet. Cheap fix but big difference What would you add?

Krait (@laticuada) reportedIt feels like Reddit 50/50 when finding a good submas artist, because half the time you scroll down in their account there will be ******

Fictional Wealth (@FictionalWealth) reported@mikasasolslayer @brozinkerbell Kids don’t go that far down the comment tree! This isn’t the Reddit days.
-
🪻Brand New Say spoilers (@mooncrussh) reportedReddit story where college roommates have been friends for like a decade+ with no success dating other people. One day they're sitting on the couch and she breaks down because she's feeling the pressure of dating. He comforts her. They sleep together. They keep sleeping together.

Paw 🍀💕 (@ladypaw_) reported@FieldsofMistria I can’t unlock the Star Festival achievement. I went with Juniper twice and didn’t manage it. I’ve read on Reddit that other people are having the same problem. Could you please sort this out? 🥹🥹
-
DΞano (@deanodegen) reported@logicalicy Yeah, I’ve found the same. I don’t ask the models to invent something creative from a blank page. I feed them real evidence, competitor reviews, reddit pain points, costs and technical constraints, then have one attack the idea while the other looks for gaps and adjacent-category mechanics. Prompts like “What would the Letterboxd/Strava/Duolingo version of this problem look like?” tend to work better than “give me 10 original app ideas.” The useful direction normally appears where repeated user complaints overlap with something every competitor has ignored.

Lord Saddler(Larfleeze Era) (@LSaddler13) reportedReddit is down the hall and to the left.

winston (@vibecheck1181) reportedA few days ago I lost my email to a hacker. Reddit, being as helpful as they are gave me an idea to get ahold of YouTube Support in order to fix this. This is my call to YouTube, please help me out here. I do not know my YouTube URL, so I'm reaching out blind here. @TeamYouTube
-
Ichabod Kranepool (@IKranepool) reported@Jake_FutTrading It also isn't very widespread. Not a peep of it on the active reddit. It was way less people than a huge ban typically made in error. These people were likely doing something wrong
-
Mad Monkey (@Demonkey13) reported@Cake_sized_dog @DocStrangelove2 What has those issues to do with the fact that reddit losers caused her to kill herself?
-
Schitzo Larper (@KellyRiggler) reported@NATpoisIN TikTok atheists are just a dumbed down version of reddit atheists
-
CinemaCopa (@CopaExMachina) reportedPeople ask all the time how this cringe **** gets made. It's simple. COD is now written by uncool millennials with theater kid syndrome. They pass it off to their corpo parents of the uncool: HR, legal, sensitivity readers, etc... . When it's approved by the corpo-uncool, they tease it in the most lame corner of the internet, Reddit. It just gets passed up and down the uncool chain of command. None of these people know how to "give me the same but different". That's why Wolverine has this identical move. Whether they want to admit it or not, they're tapped into the same creativity vein as those who make "Live, Laugh, Love" signs.

Naitik.. (@Naitik_singnh) reportedYour next customer might already be complaining about the problem you solve. They’re on Reddit. You just need to find the conversation before everyone else does.
-
The Boring Developer (@boringdev77) reportedFor people doing ICP research with AI: are you using Reddit, real customer interviews, or something else? I've been running agents against Reddit threads and finding the language is more honest than surveys. People describe their problems differently when they're not talking to the company. Curious what others are finding actually works.
-
Makickal 【💰={🔗}=🌐】 (@Makickal) reportedLet this be a lesson to everyone shorting after a year of down because X and Reddit said "One more leg down. Bottom October". You don't sell or open shorts after a year of carnage. You look for entries. The market already provided enormous time for bears.
-
Just a Panda (@WPanda76) reported@DelvinFourcand @MARVELTokon I have a feeling this is just a hotfix they're pushing out now suddenly after the cracked version showing it's the DRMs that are the issue has hit the more mainstream gaming media outside reddit and the FGC. More of a save-face damage-control patch than anything
-
John (@hello_code_) reported@rcelanodev Building got easier but discovery didn't. Customers are still out there describing their exact problems on Reddit right now, most founders just aren't in the room
-
SilverBoarMedia (@AbcAbc347433) reported@K__Med Get rid of people who hate video games and gamers, gone, ironically that would solve most of the problems we're currently having. It's still amazing to me there was an anti-gun weirdo working on an FPS and Todd Howard reads reddit.
-
Mrdooo (@mrdo91169006) reported@samigrows Posting on Reddit went down 50% I reckon.
-
Bitcoin is King (@Bitcoin_is_king) reported@kingbtc Saw a Reddit screencap of the BTC sub titled “WE ARE SO BACK!” And this was my exact thought lmao. Still down 40% on the year
-
🌬️ (@steeephhx) reported@sighlauryn_ i’ve fallen down the reddit rabbit hole on her and she is currently being doxxed on her insta comments LOL she’s lowkey kidnapped her children (that she already neglects/can’t afford) while going thru a custody battle with her ex. also is allegedly being evicted from her housing.

kaavya.fren (@prasad_kaavya) reportedEveryone’s freaking out about reddit citations dropping 86% in chatgpt. It’s 4 days of data and promptwatch are the ones saying the cause isn’t confirmed. also this keeps happening. sept 2025. aug 2025, reddit went 55% to 8%. panic, hot takes, quiet recovery. every time. so no, don’t abandon reddit. also don’t double down on it. the actual mistake is optimising for one surface. if one domain going quiet on a random thursday can wipe out your ai visibility, you never had ai visibility you have a dependency. be everywhere. write everything. only 14% of top cited domains overlap across chatgpt, claude, gemini and perplexity. show up in all of them and losing one costs you a fraction instead of everything. that’s it. that’s the whole play.

The Unsinkable Kung Flu Panda MD (@eastcodiesel) reportedReddit, X, likely facebook Maybe its time to realize your opinions are terrible
-
The Agentic Operator (@AgenticOperator) reported@citeOS_io reddit down 86% in chatgpt citations in ONE WEEK. google's AI barely moved. the brands that built their whole strategy on reddit just watched it vanish overnight. the ones spread across multiple engines and owned content didn't even notice. that's why you never bet everything on one channel.
-
Monster (@iHadAGodamnPLAN) reportedbut seriously yall should move to bsky or tumblr, I'm done with all the bullshit. check r/twitter on reddit, many people with the same problem and the support only answer if you're paying for bluecheck (who could've guessed?) and yet THEY STILL FLAG YOU AS SOON AS YOU CANCEL IT

Colebowl🍀🥣 (@ColebowlMC) reportedSeen a few reddit threads on the issue just not sure how widespread it is
