Xavier (@Nightwing55251) reported@BrianAtlas Do you all know how Google AI ov works? Its literally right there in your photo where it got its information from. Those answers are generated from Reddit and other sources that other people have already said and not what the AI believes. How about you scroll down and open some s

E.T. (@HoopTalk1424) reported@CollectorDare @CardPurchaser Personally would just attempt to fix it or hire a professional to do it. I’ve never seen a defect submission come back positive on here, facebook, IG, or reddit.

Kevin Liu (@kevinliutalks) reportedThe cost of marketing is most definitely not going to zero. Look at the trends of all the platforms. TikTok is putting AI-generated content labels on everything and cracking down on undisclosed UGC. Reddit is going to **** from AI bots and is going to run out of humans. Socials cannot handle infinite slop and Zuck has no incentive for you to post ur ad reels. Seems very evident that the future will be paid social and not much else. Why should TikTok let you post your UGC for free when they can force you to run ads? Also, the cost of product is the cost of marketing - products exist at the behest of data. Get your wallets out, because the future is going to be PAID.

Shivam | Reddit & X for SaaS (@shivamcodin9) reported@gabriel1 when everyone's a potential customer its usually not a customer problem, its that you dont know which room the pain is loudest in yet quick thing that works, search the problem in your own words on reddit and see which subs come up. if its loud in one and dead in 5 others thats your segment, no interviews needed

Jesse Pujji (@jspujji) reportedTalked to several GEO experts this past week managing brands getting recommended by AI. I learned a ton about how to weight the scales in your favor. Tipalti’s Sr. Director of Growth Marketing Stacy Pinkerton said it plainly: It's harder to fool AI than it was Google. Your content needs be good. How did her team level up content? 1/ Wrote about exactly how the brand solved a problem. The highest-cited pieces led with what broke, how it got fixed, the numbers around it. Z Commoditized content doesn't rank with ChatGPT or Claude. Tell a real story. 2/ Made all content AI digestible. Title anything valuable. Industry angle, ROI math, FAQs. Name it in a header and make it substantive. Don't bury numbers three paragraphs deep. 3/ Updated the dates. She tested refreshing the publish dates on old articles. AI wants to give great answers, which mean current answers. In 24 hours, her brand won ~40 more citations from this alone. This is a fraction of how to win. Tomorrow Stacy is live at Noon CST / 1pm EST with two other AI content experts. They'll get specific and run through a “Hot or Not” on the buzziest tactics: Reddit, LinkedIn, schema, gated content. Sign up even if you can't make it live. Everyone gets the recording.

Tommy Pham (@Tommycsx3) reportedVisual headline: Vague idea = expensive guessing. Specific pain = fast validation. Image copy: Bad: “Help creators grow faster” Good: “Help solo B2B founders turn Reddit pain points into landing pages that convert” Why the second wins: - easier to test - easier to explain - easier to sell Vague markets sound broad. Broad usually means fuzzy. Sharp problems let you build a page, run a test, and know quickly if anyone cares. If you can’t say who it’s for, what hurts, and why now - you don’t have a market yet. You have a slogan.

Elliott Lindamood (@Swinebros666) reported@Reynske420 @champwebdotnet I'm not a weirdo from Reddit. And I will not be watching. If you have a problem with that, then cope.

Morpheu5 Stock Watcher (@Morpheu5Watcher) reportedCOPART $CPRT BROUGHT BACK ITS OLD CEO. THE STOCK IS UP 6.6% TODAY: Copart $CPRT at $33.59, +$2.08 / +6.60% today - the biggest move on this board, from the style meant to be the dull one. The Dallas company runs the online auctions where insurers sell cars they have written off. Quality-Value wants a hard-to-copy business at a sane price. It usually finds the quality without the price; here the price moved. The quarter ended April 30, reported May 21: revenue $1.24B, +2.1%; net profit $402.4M, -1.0%. That is 32 cents of profit on every sales dollar - the quality half. The 2.1% is why the stock sits 33% below its September 4 high of $50.11, at about 20 times a year's profit. Jeff Liaw stepped down as chief executive July 31 and Jay Adair, who held the job before, took it back. Nothing was announced today - this is the second leg of a bounce off the July 23 low of $26.81. Growth reaccelerating at the September 9 report changes the read; another flat year makes cheap the whole story rather than half of it. Five more, one per Len5: - MOMENTUM - PBF Energy $PBF at $74.04, -$1.17 / -1.55% today. The New Jersey refiner turns crude oil into fuel. Momentum watches steady climbers near the top of their own range: this one hit a 52-week high of $75.68 Monday, after trading at $22.13 a year ago. August 3 results: adjusted earnings - profit with one-time items stripped - $6.22 a share against a $1.03 loss a year earlier. The gap between what crude costs and what fuel sells for built that; a normal gap ends the run. - DEEP-VALUE AND SPECIAL-SITUATIONS - Old Dominion Freight Line $ODFL at $209.49, +$1.49 / +0.72% today. The North Carolina carrier hauls freight too small to fill a trailer. This Len5 hunts assets worth more than their price, usually because profits sit at a cycle low. July 29 results: revenue $1.554B, +10.4%, operating profit $465.3M, +30.0% - on emptier trucks, tonnage per day -4.1%. Price per 100 pounds rose 15.2% and carried the quarter alone. Volume returning settles it; a third shrinking year says the terminals are worth less. - GROWTH - First Mid Bancshares $FMBH at $50.72, -$0.74 / -1.44% today. The Mattoon, Illinois bank lends across four states. Growth here means an unbroken profit record at about 12.8 times earnings and 1.24 times book value, which is assets minus liabilities. July 23 results: net profit $27.8M, or $1.04 a share; excluding costs from the Two Rivers Financial Group purchase closed March 2, $33.4M, or $1.26. The Iowa deal failing to pay for itself, or loan losses climbing, moves it off. - HYPERGROWTH - Reddit $RDDT at $156.36, -$1.89 / -1.19% today. The San Francisco company runs the topic-community discussion site and sells ads on it. Hypergrowth wants a young business compounding fast on real revenue: the July 30 quarter put revenue at $805M, +61%, net profit at $253M vs $89M, daily users at 130.3M, +18%. The catch is where visitors come from - management called referrals from search engines "choppy," and it sits 45% below its September 18 high of $282.95 with US daily users up only 6%. Traffic Reddit owns rather than borrows firms this up. - INCOME - Global Ship Lease $GSL at $43.30, +$0.08 / +0.17% today. The Athens company owns mid-size container ships and rents them out on multi-year fixed contracts. Income wants cash that keeps arriving, not a fat yield about to be cut. The cover is contractual: August 5 results showed $89.3M of profit for common shareholders against $3.2B already locked in under signed charters - more than twice the whole company's $1.55B market value. The dividend is $0.625 a quarter, $2.50 a year, a 5.6% yield. 2027 is 90% booked; rates on the open days decide the rest. Two dates are set: Friday fixes who collects Global Ship Lease's next $0.625, and September 9 is when Copart says whether 2.1% was the floor. The other four have no date yet. Not investment advice.

JVR RKC (@jv_rodriiguez) reportedThe only person that currently has a coin on CT that can compete with Ansem is Keith "The Roaring Kitty" Gill. After May 11th he became part of that conversation and the RKC community is a testament to that. Those that believed in something did not sell when Reddit was down. We will not sell because posts where deleted. we are the crew that refused to die. we held that ****** line, that line was 549k.

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

Andrew Careaga (@andrewcareaga) reported@alexandranaught Yeah, because I worked at a university so had early access to Usenet. It was an interesting time. I was heavily into discussing theology and spiritual issues in those days, so that was my focus. alt.religion and its subgroups were my hangouts, until it all became like Reddit.

Mandar from Prefer (@heyhimandar) reported2/ Reddit published nothing different. Nothing removed. Nothing penalised. ChatGPT changed how it picks sources, and one of the most cited domains on the internet became a rounding error.

Thomas Hendrix (@RedfordsFinest_) reportedSome say you can use pins. Cool. Doesn’t seem to work. Reddit: “Oh, just try another motherboard or cpu!” Yeah, let me get right on that. I have plenty of those! 🙄 . This is why I preordered my wolverine controller on my phone earlier. I knew my pc would have some sort of issue.

BRANDTALE SAGA (@BrandTale_Saga) reported@forgebitz yeah saw the same thing. chatgpt used to be like 80% reddit answers for anything halfway interesting lol. now it’s basically gone. the old.reddit login wall + whatever openai changed last week probably finished it off. kinda wild how fast it happened.

Jack Metalle (@Jacktalksmeta) reportedIncentivized reviews broke the old detection model. The first generation of fake reviews was easy to spot. Same-day review bursts, generic text, unverified purchases. The current generation is different. Real humans write them. They buy through verified-purchase accounts. The language is natural because a real person wrote it. The purchase is verified because a real purchase happened. Text-pattern detection was designed for the first generation. It catches the lazy fakes. It misses the funded ones. That is why Fakespot and ReviewMeta aged out. Not because they were bad tools. Because the problem they were built to detect evolved past their approach. The structural fix is not a better text filter. It is comparing what one network says to what other networks say. An incentivized reviewer on Amazon is unlikely to also post on Reddit, comment on YouTube, and write in a forum. Cross-network agreement is harder to manufacture than a single verified purchase.

George Bloor (@Beakus) reported@Asym_Alwali Directories send traffic that never converts. My best signups came from one Reddit comment answering a specific problem, not from being listed in 40 places. Which of your launches actually turned into paying users?
