Chantal’s Abandoned Scooter 🛵 (@BeysPinkyFinger) reportedI was reading through Remmy’s deleted Reddit accounts last night bc I was curious about how intense his anxiety seems to be. Apparently he’s diagnosed bipolar and he has PTSD for living with a narcissistic alcoholic mother. Dude has severe mommy issues

Richard Harrison (@harris1886) reported@Layo_FH @D__Melb Nobody is disputing that it was a story, but it's the 220 articles in 9 days that take it beyond the pale. The school friends tracked down, the anonymous attacks on Reddit published as verified concerns. All for a minor public figure. You do see that right?

Om Patel (@om_patel5) reportedSEND MORE EMAILS 67,410 in the last 30 days at 99% deliverability isnt even enough im optimizing it so i can hit 1 million a month heres my EXACT strat (full playbook): THE INFRASTRUCTURE >separate sending domain, never your main one >warm it properly, and warming is a sending pattern not a 2 week countdown, ramp volume and get real replies >spf, dkim, dmarc all configured on day one >plain text, no bold, no images, no links in the first email >if your email looks like a newsletter it goes to promotions, pretty obv >verify every single address, skipping this once took a campaign to 3.8% bounce and it was the worst performer out of 11 >rotate your sending infra every 60 to 90 days with fresh inboxes already warmed in the background so you never pause COLD EMAILS 1\ targeting and offer >targeting and offer are 80% of your result, copy is 10%, subject lines are the rest >your offer needs a specific number, a timeframe and risk reversal or nothing else matters >pull the list with apollo, filter by job title and company size >then go narrower, heres an example, one client went 1.5% to 4.7% replies just by targeting hr managers at manufacturing companies with 200 to 500 employees who posted a recruiter job in the last 30 days, same product same copy >go where the inbox isnt saturated, manufacturing, construction, logistics, healthcare all beat saas >ai agent enriches every lead, scrapes their recent posts, pulls one specific checkable detail >trigger event personalization hits 8.7% replies, name and company merge tags hit 3.2% 2\ the sequence >4 emails, no pitch in email 1, just something useful you found for them, a doc, a teardown, anything >case study in 2, niche data in 3, breakup in 4 >email 1 pulls 61% of your replies, follow ups pull 22, 11 and 6, anything past 4 is dead weight >25 to 75 words, one idea, one ask, best performing email i have seen was 51 words >lowercase subject lines beat capitalized ones about 80% of the time >tuesday wednesday thursday only, 7 to 8am their local time, monday friday and weekends are a waste >booking link in every single one 3\ intent data beats cold lists >scrape job boards for people publicly posting that they need exactly what you sell >find the company, find the decision maker, verify the email >send 6 lines offering the service plus a free sample >you skip the entire proposal queue because they already declared intent in public >same logic reddit monitoring runs on, just pointed at a different signal MARKETING EMAILS ON PEOPLE WHO SIGNED UP >welcome sequence the second someone signs up >feature launch sequence every time you ship >trial ending sequence with the exact feature they used most >onboarding drip if they signed up and never activated, one email per core feature until they hit the first real win >hard paywall or free plan that never converted, send them a meeting link, not another discount >same for anyone who opened pricing 3 times and bounced, or started checkout and dropped >talking to hesitant users converts insanely well, they almost always have one specific objection and it takes 5 minutes to kill it on a call >churn winback 14 days after they cancel, lead with what shipped since they left >reactivation for anyone who hasnt logged in for 30 days >every one of these is triggered by product behaviour, not by a calendar AI AGENTS RUN ALL OF IT agent... >writes 20 subject line variants, you keep the 3 that get opens >watches for anyone who opened 3+ times and flags them for a manual follow up >replies to inbound support emails off your product knowledge base >fires a custom teardown back the second someone replies, while theyre still sitting in their inbox >emails you a daily digest of everything it did overnight >updates its own rules when a sequence underperforms EVERYTHING FUNNELS TO ONE PLACE >booking link in every email, every bio, every landing page, every reply >give two doors on the call, do it yourself with what i just sent, or book me, so its never you vs ghosting >10 calls a week minimum with people who showed intent >ask all 10 what nearly stopped them signing up >go fix exactly that, then email the list about the fix more sends, better data, sharper copy, more calls if replies are trickling in and your infra is healthy, the fix is more volume most people send 12 cold emails and decide email is dead email isnt dead but your volume is

CurryBlur (@CurryBlur) reported@MotorolaUS Sure, thank you for following up. Moto G Play 2024 is the phone model. If it helps, there are some reddit posts you could search with other users mentioning similar Motorola issues as well.

Ana (@Kzoro__) reportedSeptember 2025, Reddit fell off GPT citations almost completely. cause was Google killing a URL parameter, not Reddit dying. it was back at number one by June infrastructure changes and ranking collapses look identical on a line chart. that is the whole problem w reacting to one.

EdoVro (@EdoVro) reported@AndyTMonaghan @SrLinguicaVIVE @AndreSegers Seems like too many people downloaded it so it's paused, but it wasn't taken down. On the Reddit post, there is a new .CIA download which seems to still work, and it seems the author is reuploading to MEGA as well.

-Paleonyx- (COMMISSIONS OPEN)- (@Paleonyx_Art) reportedAny fellow sketchbook users have a fix for this? Some old reddit threads mentioned moving the files to pc and editing them, but I don't actually have a pc to do that on soooooo...

Coldloop (@coldloophq) reportedYour buyers leave footprints: - GitHub issue about the problem you solve - Reddit thread asking for alternatives - Job post for their "first SDR" - Building permit - Funding announcement ColdLoop reads them so you don't have to.

Nishant Singh (@nishantsingh211) reportedSpoke with a founder who gets 70% of his signups from Reddit. No ads. No content strategy. No audience. He just spends a few hours each week helping people who have the exact problem his product solves. 5 months later: 1,700 paying users. Reddit is crazy......

TheodoreTHEStudite (@TStudite826) reported@DarkMatter2525 @jmjz2015 @EveKeneinan Why would I be embarrassed of the title Sky Father? It is the original of the title Deus, Latin for God. I only take issue with your bad history and Reddit tier knowledge of God and Hebrew, later Christian, cosmology.

Robert Youssef (@rryssf) reportedReddit held 3.83% of every citation ChatGPT Search returned. One of the largest shares of any domain on the internet. On August 14 it fell below 1%. The four day average since is 0.52%. That is an 86% collapse, and it happened inside a single day. Google did not do the same thing. AI Overviews went from 2.37% to 2.10% over the same window, an 11% drift. AI Mode went from 2.22% to 1.54%. Both gradual, neither a cliff. That divergence is the story. When one platform drops a source by 86% overnight while the other eases it down by 11%, you are not watching Reddit lose relevance. You are watching one product decision inside OpenAI. The slide started on August 8, the day ChatGPT changed its query fanout behaviour. Reddit went from the high 3s to the mid 2s that day, then fell off entirely six days later. Two years of GEO advice compressed to four words: get mentioned on Reddit. That advice just lost most of its value in ChatGPT, and nobody who followed it did anything wrong. The part that should worry you is not about Reddit. If the single largest source on a platform can go to near zero in a day because of a retrieval change, then AI search visibility is not an asset you own. It is a position you rent, and the terms change without notice. Klaas Foppen published the data and included the caveat worth repeating: a collection issue cannot be fully ruled out yet, so treat the exact size as provisional.

Tanuj Prakash (@tanujprakash37) reported@cemnahit We just ask to scrape reddit and twitter to look for problems and then see how many people are looking for a solution

akin.korpe (@akinkep) reportedgot banned on reddit for 2 months. the reason was simple, we were pitching before anyone asked. the fix was just as simple, only show up when someone asks for a recommendation. being helpful works better than promoting. how are you finding customers on reddit

zack (@whotfiszackk) reportedmy brother just made his first sale selling info about drugs. legal ones. modafinil. caffeine. l-theanine. nootropics. the stuff silicon valley has been quietly using for years while everyone else is on their third coffee wondering why they can't focus. he found a reddit thread. 847 upvotes. 190 comments. every comment a variation of: i've been taking random supplements for 2 years, spending $200/month, and have no idea if any of it is actually working or if i'm just expensive placebo-ing myself. he pasted the thread into claude. 4 hours later he had a complete nootropic stacking guide. what to take. what not to combine. what the research actually says versus what the subreddit thinks. how to build a stack for focus, for sleep, for energy without the crash. listed it on gumroad for $37. built a faceless twitter page around cognitive performance. first sale came 11 days later. he texted me at 2am. "bro someone just paid me $37 while i was asleep for information about legal drugs i've never personally taken." i wasn't surprised. because the system works the same way in every niche. find the pain. build the solution with AI. sell it from a page with no face on it. the niche doesn't have to be your passion. it has to be someone else's problem. my brother found theirs in a reddit thread at 11pm. built the product in an afternoon. made his first sale 11 days later. the full system he used is inside AI HUB

ynotmail (@ynotmail) reportedCan low-volume sending still damage a domain’s reputation? A reddit poster reports several fresh domains developed problems within weeks despite authentication and verified addresses. It’s anecdotal—but worth asking whether recipients actually expected the mail.

Madeline (@allshallparrish) reportedsometimes you're not the problem. just spent 2 hours debugging assuming there was something wrong with my code. nope. xcode's preview cache was extremely constipated. ty random reddit dude.

Lurch Fruchtig (@KunibertRandolf) reported@305books @pemilo123 Le superior intellectual thesis and reddit self-analysis helped you exactly nothing and got you to where you are. Thinking that therapy is about finding a willing audience for your drivel or that an audience changes your problems is exactly the reason why you are there.
-
Antonio Valerio Miceli Barone (@AVMiceliBarone) reported@max77sabers @antons @forgebitz Yes, but if it gives Reddit links to the users and these links lead to non-skippable login walls, the users will be annoyed, thus OpenAI has probably de-prioritised Reddit links.

Shraajan (@VaguelyVolatile) reportedinteresting, as someone pointed it in the comments reddit seems to have been blocking claude's server IPs too from searching. of course, one can navigate it.

BunnyDoodles (@lemonadest36729) reported@silly_sophiana I posted on reddit a few days ago that if the killer of the round was trip, i'll insta lock on metal and just disable a few mines andMAYBE stun like, once, if the trip was bullied (******* always) I'll let her kill me. They down voted me to hell for "teaming"

JT (@toadstaff) reported@SomewhereVI @NikTek When I went to Reddit to watch it, the post was taken down. I’m gonna assume it’s real bc of that

Crémieux (@cremieuxrecueil) reported@WesleyFromFL I actually think the change has more to do with a change in reddit login policy.

DarkMatter2525 (@DarkMatter2525) reported@TStudite826 @jmjz2015 @EveKeneinan It was taken literally. That's why God repeatedly takes trips "down" to earth. That's why JC ascended. That's why God's throne is described as being at the top of a literal firmament. You think the word "reddit" means you don't have to address any of it, because you're lazy.
