-
just andrey (@andreyiscoding) reported@CodeWithTamara The Reddit thing works exactly because nobody's selling there. You answer a real question. Someone with an actual problem sees it. No algorithm, no personal brand play. Just + problem solved = customer. That's the boring pool.
-
Batsquez (@batsquez) reported@CaseyBookAuthor Also same on the Reddit monitor that allows this toxicity to continue to exist. I’ve seen innocent posts get taken down for far less. Smdh
-
Zernio | Developer News (@zernionews) reportedPOST /v1/inbox/conversations now returns more specific Reddit error details. This improves client-side handling when creating a Reddit DM thread fails (missing user, DM not allowed, or rate limiting).

poomonky7 (@PooMonke) reported@needMarpe If reddit gets deleted I wont be able to find a deleted solution to a specific problem I have

Douglass Mackey (@douglassmackey) reportedLLM writing sounds so cringeworthy because LLMs are so heavily trained on Reddit. It’s interesting that Anthropic is trying to combat this problem by feeding the LLM reams of old, rare books. Not a bad idea.
-
Dat Fishe (@DatFishe) reported@Yukihana_kaori @viridiancolors Reddit specifically has gotten worse in recent years but this has been a relatable problem on all sorts of forums for as long as I've been using the internet lol
-
The_Real_Black (@TheRealBlackNet) reported@viridiancolors classic reddit\stackoverflow\old forums there is a reason why people avoid using that sites now. also I get links to such threads with comment "USE THE SEARACH FIRST NEWBIE" and get downvotes. nobody look into it while claiming that is the answer to your problem.

Valerie ✨🧀 (@bitesizecandies) reported@FishLady143 2015 Reddit is down the hall and to the left

Barry Carlyon (@BarryCarlyon) reportedResisting the urge to reply to reddit threads with "just hire a dev to build exactly what you need" coz it will get struck down as self advertisting, but it is the damn answer
-
WDL (White Defamation League) (@Captain_noticer) reported@KellerRaym8123 Reddit is more the problem than anything else in that equation. Each subreddit is like a mini eco chamber, any opposing views will get you banned regardless of which one. I was banned for telling someone they were being lazy in r/antiwork.

FascinatingAndFrighteningTech (@masterofthegate) reportedWhat’s your # of ROLLS per day? For people interested in making AI movies, if you make 1 successful 15-second clip for your movie per day over the course of 365 days, that’s about ~90 mins. The length of a feature-length movie. 2 clips a day = 6 months. 5 clips a day = ~2.5 months. 10 clips a day = a little over a month. 30 clips a day = 12 days. 60 clips a day = 6 days. 180 clips a day = 2 days. 360 clips a day = 1 day. —— The most feasible range, assuming you have a story or script, is around 0.33–10 a day on average, so you can take time to carefully consider the quality of the clips. That’s a movie in a little over a month to 3 years. So basically, ANYONE with persistence can make a feature-length movie now with the help of AI—for aiding you with learning how to write a story and a script from that story, and generating the clips for you. There are AIs that can also edit the video together for you now as well. The audio in the clips is already essentially mastered, so some simple balancing by ear should suffice, which AI could probably level-match clips automatically for you now. And an AI could probably also color balance/color grade for you as well if you just ask… —— The question, then, is: How do you reduce the amount of “rolls” you have to give a prompt in order to arrive at the final clip for your movie—the quality clip that represents that part of your story? For example, answer this: Can you make 1 successful clip a day in just 8 tries? 4 tries? 2 tries? This matters because the lower amount of tries, aka “rolls,” you give a prompt, the less time and money is needed to make the movie per day that you are making the movie. Good storytelling. Learn to tell good stories. It’s the root of everything. Better storytelling should also work with the model you are using. In other words, models have different strengths, so writing stories that will work better with them will save a lot of hassle. For example, a model good at static shots may work better for drama than action. And a model that has darker aesthetics and is good with movement may work better for horror action movie. And so on… 3a. Better prompting. VERY important. Understand how the model you’re using best takes prompts and satisfy the format. 3b. Take time to test and experiment before you jump into serious generating. Once you test enough, you will have a better feel for how to best prompt and lower the quantity of rolls finding a keeper takes. It will save you a lot of time later if you take some time in the beginning to learn about and familiarize yourself with the model you’re using. 3c. Also make sure you are using good settings and not wasting your time; talk to AI and have it read the docs of the model in question, research relevant discussions on Reddit and X and forums, etc., and give you advice on the best settings after considering those things. 3d. Set up your prompts beforehand formatted for the model you’re using and make sure there’s no typos or details that are vague which you don’t want to be vague or details left out which you could have added—vagueness, if it exists, should be intentional, not because you are being lazy and just hoping the AI will read your mind and get it how you want it to be… Image and references to video is great when you want better quality control over the image, scene, and the overall story and feel. Text-to-video is nice for letting the AI come up with things for you. Careful with audio quality: faster turbo models often degrade audio quality. So the video may look good, but you’ll never be able to fix that poor audio glitch at the 7th second of the clip… — Minimax H3 is arguably the first local model you can create pro videos with locally. And even with a cheap rig you can probably fire off at least 2-8 clips per day. So people can now make feature length films with their laptops for VERY cheap (sub 5k dollars or even sub 1k or 500 dollars or maybe less). And fast. WILD. #AIart #VR

𝓜𝓪𝓭 𝓢𝓬𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓼𝓽🫃🦍🦴 (@MadScientist898) reported@viridiancolors Literally every issue ever if and when it requires/comes to the point of browsing Reddit. If this wasn't so common, I'd think it'd be a conspiracy to **** everyone over when they have an issue with something.

Liz (@bunnnies24) reported@phoebesweekend @lazylambzz @lyxl333 I won’t thanks, I’ll find the answer 6 comments down in a Reddit post from 3 years ago like a real man

Martin Hans Schmitt (@martinhschmitt) reported@TeamYouTube This is exactly not working! This function is broken as many other people from the stereoscopic community have mentioned, e.g. at Reddit.

Bennethon (@bennethon) reportedSweltering in my garage, breaking down moving boxes, listening to @dhh talk about AI, and internally raging at all the anti-AI garbage that’s out there. Some even from people I work with. I want to shake these people out of it. We’re living through a technological revolution! Turn off Reddit and look to the future!

Hamburger (@HeavensLance) reported@JonSlayton @Awk20000 It's a similar problem with Reddit where a lot of ppl recognize the problems and still use it. Only thing to stop Twitch will be Twitch itself, as Amazon is doing **** all and there doesn't seem to be significant litigation to make them do anything.

Jason Kirby (@JasonKirby) reported"Wait two years, grow 30%, get a better multiple." Worst advice a founder with a real LOI can receive. I watched a founder this week on Reddit sit with a $20M offer and get talked out of it. The comments were all the same. "Wait two years." "Grow into a better multiple." Nobody who's closed one of these talks like this. Nobody asked about the buyer pool shifting. Or whether this founder can actually execute 30% growth. Or if a second LOI even shows up. Private SaaS M&A multiples right now sit at a median 3.4x revenue. That number has a wide band, 4x to 9x ARR depending on growth profile and buyer category. Most founders don't know how to position themselves inside that band. They just hear "multiples are compressed" and assume waiting fixes it. That's not how it works. Waiting doesn't fix buyer concentration. A $15M ARR company has a different buyer pool than a $25M ARR company. Strategic acquirers care about integration complexity. Financial buyers care about margin leverage. The assumption that "growing into a better deal" is linear ignores what actually makes a company attractive to different check sizes. And execution risk. That's the part everyone skips. You don't just grow 30% because you decided to. You grow 30% if the market cooperates, if your team doesn't burn out, if churn stays flat, if you don't lose a key customer. Every quarter you delay the exit is a quarter you're betting you can deliver the plan. A real offer on the table is not a ceiling. It's information. It tells you what the market thinks your company is worth today, with today's financials, in today's buyer environment. You can always say no. But saying no because Reddit told you to "just wait" is how founders end up two years later with no offer and a burned-out team. If you have an LOI right now, ask yourself: can you materially change your buyer pool in 18 months? Or are you waiting because you hope the market improves?

Spaghetti (@Spaghetmmi) reported@doctorzackerzal You wouldn't even guess what i did on reddit 💀💀 and then i stopped being weird on reddit after they took down r/watchpeopledie in 2019 but i still was corny

The Par Train (@TheParTrain) reportedYou know what I think our biggest problem is? Reddit is full of: “How do I hit a draw?” “How do I take the club back farther?” “I’m stuck at a 6 handicap. What’s wrong with my swing?” But… Why does your backswing need to go farther? Why can’t you just get really good at playing your fade? And who decided that getting below a 6 handicap requires fixing your swing in the first place? Maybe our swings aren’t the problem. Maybe we’re just asking the wrong questions.

N kisser (@n1_N_fan) reported@harmonicheart_ Ooh that's so cool!! My issue rn is that it won't create the 3ds folder, I tried formatting the sd a thousand times and it still doesn't create the folder when inserted, tried opening mii maker and waiting too(saw people recommend this on Reddit) but nothing worked💔

Wilson (@Wilson102804) reported@Aznkewl @djdjavr You’re if Reddit transubstantiated into a person Teenagers say provocative things for comedic effect. Why is that where your head goes? Seems telling to me, almost like you yourself have a problem, and are virtue signaling to deflect from your own nature.

POTUS (@evilgirlHQ) reported@claudvneuman No ur right i said this on reddit and got jumped like they literally didnt fix anything
-
Toma (@thebadassdev) reportedHere's how I get my first customers for my SaaS: 1. I scrape Reddit to get all the posts in a feed sharing a specific problem 2. I DM everyone on Reddit who has that problem 3. In the DMs, I give them some advice and then drop the link at the end of the conversation It's as simple as that.

Blue (@blueshopping24) reportedIf you want passive income that actually pays out in 2026, focus on one of these three models. Everything else is noise. 1. Digital products built on borrowed authority You do not need a massive audience to sell a $27 to $97 digital product. You need a specific solution to a specific problem for a specific person. A spreadsheet that helps freelancers track invoices. A Notion template for content creators. A 10-page PDF guide for first-time landlords. Small. Specific. Solves one pain point completely. Sell it on Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy. Drive traffic from one platform you actually use. Reinvest every dollar into that same channel for 90 days before touching it. 2. Content that compounds YouTube videos from 2021 still generate ad revenue today. Newsletter issues from 2023 still drive product sales. SEO articles written two years ago still pull organic traffic. The internet does not forget good content. Most platforms favor longevity. Choose one long-form content medium. Commit to 52 pieces in 12 months. That is your entire strategy. 3. Licensing what you already know If you have a skill your employer pays you for, someone else will pay to learn it. Package your process. License your framework. Sell access to your knowledge in a structured format. This is the fastest path because you are not starting from zero. You already have the asset. You just have not packaged it yet. The common thread across all three: they require intense active work upfront in exchange for leverage later. Nobody skips the upfront part. The ones who try to skip it are the ones posting in Reddit threads asking why their store made $0. One more thing: pick ONE model and stay with it for at least six months before judging results. What's your experience with this? Have you tried any of these and hit a wall? 👇

majinbuuglazer (@Majinbuuglazer) reported@jeezy90z If other peoplecan post to it it can have gooner **** on it. The problem with tiktok gooning is its just not god, 10× the effort of other apps just for it to be *** **** anyways. Twitter gooning and reddit gooning are the 2 only actual apps that are frfr worth it

PowerofBanana (@Power_of_Banana) reported@reddit_lies since questioning the narrative will never work on reddit, the better tactic is to double down on the approved narrative. On every thread find a way to remind everyone that trans women are women. On a local thread about a new restaurant opening up - make sure to comment the importance that they be pro-trans if they want your business. Just turn reddit into transit

vermillioniel (@siciel27) reportedreddit probably worst site to look at answers if you have any issues or depression because you don't have the will to go to uni and they'll tell you can just not go and work instead like mcdonalds 30 dollars gonna pay bills

shroov (@greyxdria) reported@anon285612 well that’s for you, having a favourite influencer isn’t an issue for me sometimes some people can save you & it could be those influencers also I don’t believe all these Reddit rumours, choosing to believe it is on you too
