    My Reddit game is picking up. Been about 3 months since launch and I fix it daily The number has to 500 for the first payout for this metric. The key is getting a your subreddit to 200+ memebers. Then when people play it counts towards these totals. How would you get 200 subreddit users?

    @imissyoukyu Not only that, Do you know that there was a “femcel” Reddit that had to get shut down? It was shut down because too many males were offering these so called “femcels” relationships. So you’re just a liar. Trying to play victim. You caused your own problems.

    Just For Dogs (@forbetterfordog) reported

    Matt Smith didn’t think much of it at first. Small white patches showed up around Buster’s eyes and chin, barely noticeable on a two-year-old black Labrador who’d never had a health issue in his life. Vets ran the tests and came back with an answer Matt hadn’t expected: vitiligo, the same autoimmune condition that affected Michael Jackson, quietly attacking the cells that gave Buster’s fur its color. Nine months later, “barely noticeable” wasn’t the word anymore. The patches had taken over most of his face. Matt kept photographing him anyway, watching a black dog get slowly erased and replaced by a white one, sometimes losing patches of fur entirely before the new white coat grew back in to replace it. There was no treatment to stop it, no way to know how far it would spread, and doctors were clear on one thing: it wouldn’t hurt him. Just change him. By the time Matt posted the full transformation on Reddit two and a half years later, the internet didn’t believe it was the same dog. People assumed he’d swapped photos, staged it, anything but the truth, until they scrolled through the timeline and watched one dog slowly become another in front of them. The only thing that never changed through the entire process was his eyes. Buster never noticed any of it happening to him. He wasn’t in pain, never lost a step, never seemed to know his entire identity had rewritten itself one patch at a time. Somewhere out there is a photo of a black Labrador puppy that, if you didn’t know better, you’d swear had nothing to do with the white dog he is today. 🐾⚪⚫

    Right now, at most companies, “figure out AI search” is being handled by seven different people who don't know they're supposed to be working together. -The SEO lead is commenting in Reddit threads that are ranking for key terms. -The community manager is building relationships in Discord servers. -The content team is publishing 'AI-optimized' articles. -The PR person is pitching stories to journalists (who get cited a lot). -The social team is chasing LinkedIn engagement. -Employee advocacy is asking people to share company posts. -Influencer marketing leads are hiring B2B creators to talk about the new feature roll-out. But there’s often not a single point person who’s making sure this work actually results in citations within ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews. This is the current state of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) at most organizations who’ve started this work: Head of AEO is a job that exists everywhere and nowhere simultaneously, scattered across a dozen job descriptions, measured by a dozen different metrics, optimized toward a dozen different outcomes. So here’s what happens. A company has purchased a tool for measuring and monitoring AI search presence…and stopped there. Or maybe they’re focusing on publishing new blog content on the company website based on their findings of said tool…but they’re not really sure what’s working and why (or why not). When the team talks about AEO performance or AI search visibility, it feels like marketers are hand-waving and saying a lot without communicating much at all. The problem is that companies are trying to solve a new discipline using existing infrastructure—when really, there needs to be a net-new role (or an overhaul of an existing one) for overseeing the work of AI search and LLM citation generation.

    Most cycling brands break one fundamental copywriting principle that always translates into tons of lost customers: They polish every word until it sounds important, and the result is *every* brand sounding the exact same as the others: The most common ones: • “Smoother” • “Faster” • “More comfortable” • “More engaging” • “Performance” • “Efficiency” • “Emotion” Which is why, no matter how incredible the bike is, people remain confused as to whether that's really the one for them (and confusion kills deals). The problem is that it feels like brands are speaking for themselves. And that creates distance between them and their customers. I had a look at some Reddit threads, and riders describe bikes through situations, body parts, surfaces, and consequences. They think in specific, physical things: numb hands after 80km, the feeling of a rough road through the bar tape, the moment their legs blow up on a long climb. Some more examples, comparing what I found on some big cycling brands websites VS the way their people actually talk. Notice the difference: Example 1: BRAND 1 writes "[VERY POPULAR BICYCLE MODEL] is where performance, efficiency, and emotion become one." -> While people on Reddit: "Does this actually absorb road vibration or will my hands be wrecked after 4 hours?" The brand should write that answer in plain English, like: "The [VERY POPULAR BICYCLE MODEL] keeps your hands from going numb on rough roads, even after four hours in the saddle." Example 2: BRAND 2 writes "transforms every ride into an experience that is smoother, faster and more engaging." -> While people on Reddit: "How does it actually feel on a long climb when you're already cooked?" Again, write that answer. "On a long climb, when your legs are already burning, the geometry keeps your position open so you can still breathe." Example 3: BRAND 3 writes "designed for riders who embrace long distances." -> While people on Reddit: "Will I be wrecked after 120km or can I push through?" And once again, write that answer. "At 120km your back stays flat and your power output holds, because the fit does not collapse under fatigue." The rule is simple: if a rider cannot see it, touch it, or feel it in their body, rewrite it. Your copy should answer the question using the same language a rider uses when talking all things bikes. And instead, it's using vague terms that everyone uses, and that communicate nothing to the reader.

    Getting cited by ChatGPT is NOT just an SEO problem. You need to: 1. get mentioned on Reddit 2. get quoted in press 3. get compared on review sites 4. fix your actual website too 5. show up consistently, not once So you're still only optimizing your own blog and wondering why nothing's changing, aren't you?

    Almost been a reddit user for a decade. It's only in highsight do I realize how genius the core principles are 1) presort people by interest, this does cause echo chambers for divisive topics but are also just plain useful for the other 95% of the time 2) tree structured replies, objectively a better experience than linear 3) distributed content ranking: both upvotes and down votes are required and give a sense of participantion

    @BTweeter87 It's important to note that for almost any class of programs you actually care about, the problem is decidable. But if you place no restrictions, you get what I think of as the reddit effect, and decidability fails for gay reasons.

    If you want to find your first 10 customers, you need to step away from the automation tools and answer this questions. Where is the "Pain" expressed publicly? Find the digital hangouts where people are already complaining about the problem you solve. - Consumer/SMB: Look at Reddit, X communities, Facebook groups, Slack, and Discord. - B2B Niches: Check industry-specific forums or trade association message boards. Pro Tip: Even if they aren't commenting, "lurkers" are watching these threads and might be your next leads

    𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐒, 𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐏 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒 I just had someone blast me in my DMs with “I can find someone cheaper on Fiverr” after I reached out to him And it's crazy to me how many people don't realize what a quality removal actually requires when there's real money and reputation on the line Because first off, a failed removal attempt can sometimes create more attention around the content you're trying to get rid of Especially when someone is trying to blackhat their way into removing it, which is what a lot of these cheap plugs rely on I've even seen cases where a business owner got called out by a forum moderator because the site notified the moderator about what was happening Now add AI-powered moderation, automated detection, stricter platform policies, and increasingly sophisticated abuse detection... Removals, suppression, and reputation protection are becoming more technical every year This is where a huge part of our investment goes Making sure we have the legal, technical, data, and operational infrastructure to handle these cases properly and move quickly when the situation allows it Every week, I take on clients who already tried 1, 2, sometimes even 5 other agencies before coming to us Some didn't know who to trust Some had budget issues And some were simply desperate enough to try anything that promised a solution But they almost always end up coming to us when they realize the problem requires more than another guy with a laptop and a Fiverr profile… …OR worse, some anons on TG, FB, or X/Twitter Here's what goes into serious removal work: 1. We have a legal team that can properly represent you as a client and support the appropriate legal routes when the situation calls for it Without proper legal backing, you're often left trying to convince a platform or publisher to care about your problem with nothing substantial behind the request 2. We have established insider relationships and know who to contact when a legitimate escalation needs to happen That doesn't mean bribing employees or breaking platform rules It means knowing the right channels and having relationships that can help legitimate cases move faster 3. We've accumulated years of insider data, case intelligence, and removal outcomes So when a new case comes in, we're not starting from zero We can reference patterns, platforms, publishers, previous outcomes, and specific circumstances that can help determine the smartest path forward 4. Our tech team covers practically every technical phase involved in removals and takedowns Because sometimes the problem isn't simply getting one URL removed You have to understand how the content was published, indexed, duplicated, distributed, connected, and potentially resurfaced 5. We have advanced infrastructure for monitoring, protection, and tracking That means we're able to see more of what's happening around the problem and understand the context before taking action And context matters… Because blindly attacking a piece of content without understanding the ecosystem around it can create unnecessary problems Now compare all of that to the $100-$300 removal plug recommending themselves in Facebook groups… …With questionable online presence …Almost no verifiable track record …Little understanding of the legal side …Limited technical resources ..And sometimes your case becomes their experiment Get what I mean? That's where things can get expensive… You can waste weeks You can burn some money You can alert the publisher or moderator You can make the content harder to deal with And in some cases, you can create an entirely new problem while trying to solve the first one SO if you're a founder, creator, professional, or business owner dealing with defamatory articles, unfair reviews, Reddit threads, harmful videos, or other negative content... Don't hand the problem to whoever offers the cheapest quote You want the problem solved properly so you can get back to building, selling, scaling, and operating without constantly looking over your shoulder And if you refer someone to us, we have commissions ready for qualified referrals DM me and let's see what we can do 📲

    i think i should just learn from people smarter than me (george carlin specifically) and recognize that the loudest people are often the most retarded "very close to being abandoned altogether due to having mostly stagnated for years now" my brother in christ, let us have a short and hopefully enlightening conversation. reddit was launched 21 years ago, and as a technology, has effectively stagnated. hasn't stopped you from posting on it. http was formalized in 1996, a full 30 years ago. largely a stagnant technology, but it's what you used to send your post to reddit. what your dumb *** calls "stagnated" is what virtually the rest of the human race considers "matured". and you know what happens with matured technology? and why it stays around forever, like how smtp was defined in 1982 and is still the underlying protocol for people trying to make sales online in the year of our lord twenty-twenty six? it gets APPLIED "sucking at math" is a pointless argument, because (a) it turns out not to suck at brute-forcing problems through sheer computational blasting, and that's a really cool thing to have. and (b) it turns out - and you're gonna hate this - that the last major pure math breakthrough with any real-world consequence happened over 20 years ago (Compressed sensing, Candes, Romberg, Tao, Donoho) - it improved scan times in MRIs. see, i'm not even counting Attention Is All You Need, because I specifically asked my clanker to go find a pure math breakthrough, and it had to literally dig past the 2008 financial crisis to find one. that's how the average person perceives "math" as a field. you know how it's changed since, in the fields that keep moving (cryptography, algorithms, ml, etc?) - we're having the machines do more of it, because it turns out that machines aren't half bad at it. so yes, ai sucks at doing A Beautiful Mind (2001) starring Russel Crowe "math". the rest of the world has already made peace with that. we're moving forward anyway, and every time someone finds a new pain point to apply an AI to, and the pain point goes away at a cost the market can bear, the technology entrenches even further.

    4+ years into content led growth and i have some major tea/notes to spill. for context: - scaled 2 YT channels from 0 - 100K subs - built video content for founders doing 4–5M+ impressions/month - took an IG page from 0 → 10K followers in a quarter - cut influencer costs by 50% while driving 25% conversions - built a 5,000+ person waitlist, w/o spending a single rs. - worked on website copy, launches, retention, distribution + fundraising content. basically, different versions of: “we have a growth/content problem. figure it out.” here’s what all those reps taught me: 1/ understand the problem before touching the solution - “we need reels” is not a problem statement. - do you need awareness? trust? signups? conversion? - retention? - figure out what needs to move first, the channel comes later. 2/ know your audience ridiculously well - their language > your copywriting - their problems > your content ideas - their behaviour > your assumptions the best insights usually don't come from a brainstorming doc but from talking to users, reading comments, lurking on reddit, looking at search behaviour and noticing what people repeatedly care about. 3/ break the problem down to fundamentals - website isn’t converting ≠ redesign the website. - content isn’t working ≠ post more. - growth is slow ≠ increase distribution. sometimes you have enough traffic and the message sucks. sometimes the message works and distribution sucks. sometimes both are fine and the product isn't converting. *find where the system is actually breaking.* 4/ strategy dies on paper - you can spend 3 weeks making the smartest strategy deck in the world. - or ship 10 experiments and actually learn something. hypothesise > execute > analyse > iterate execution gives you information thinking alone never will. 5/ content + organic distribution are one problem before creating anything, know: - who is this for? - why would they care? - why would they share? - where will this travel? - what do you want them to do next? “we'll figure out distribution after” is usually where good content goes to die. 6/ views are a terrible standalone metric - 1M views can do absolutely nothing for the business. - 10K views from exactly the right people can bring customers, hires, investors or users. - know the outcome you’re optimising for before celebrating the screenshot. 7/ you probably don't need more content ideas. you need more depth - one real audience problem can give you months of content. - go deep on: behaviours + data + misconceptions + stories + mistakes+ opinions + solutions - if you're running out of ideas every week, you probably haven't gone deep enough into the problem yet. 8/ analyse EVERYTHING - why did this hook work? - why did people share this but not that? - why did 100K people watch but nobody click? - why did people click but not convert? - why did the idea everyone loved internally completely die? - every experiment should make the next one smarter. 9/ eventually, reps turn into pattern recognition - after enough campaigns, launches, founders, channels and failed experiments, you stop looking only at outcomes and start seeing the mechanics behind them. - “this company got 2M views doing founder reels” tells you almost nothing. - understand why something worked before copying what they did. 10/ don't be loyal to a format. be loyal to the problem - sometimes the answer is 100 influencers. - sometimes it's one really good founder video. - sometimes it's rewriting the website. - sometimes it's a waitlist campaign. - sometimes you don't need more distribution at all. you just need to say the same thing better. - the channels, formats and algorithms will keep changing. the job stays surprisingly similar: understand → hypothesise → execute → analyse → recognise patterns → repeat. that's pretty much it from my GPT + overthinking + over-explaining brain. with this, aayushi signing off 🫡 p.s. if you also love breaking down content/growth problems and going unnecessarily deep into why tf is this not working? i’d love to chat. dms are open :)
