Luis Cheng (@ImLuisCheng) reportedI took a tiny app to $13K MRR in 30 days on about $100 all-in. I barely touch it now. It still clears. Here's exactly how it worked: 1. I didn't invent a market. I stole a complaint. I spent 4 days reading Reddit, G2 one-star reviews, and Twitter replies in one niche. Same pain kept showing up: people were duct-taping 3 tools to do one ugly job. My product was that job, done in one screen. If the complaint isn't loud before you build, you're gambling. 2. Scope was insultingly small. One core workflow. No dashboard zoo. No "AI suite." Ship something a stranger can get value from in under 8 minutes. Big products die in onboarding. Small products die only if nobody needs them. 3. The $100 wasn't ads. It was distribution fuel. Domain, basic hosting, a designer on a quick logo pass, and Boosts on the 2 posts that already got organic replies. I did not buy a cold audience. I poured gas on proof that already sparked. 4. I launched where buyers argue, not where founders clap. One niche subreddit. One FB group with purchase intent. A short thread showing before/after of the painful workflow. No Product Hunt parade. Comments from people with the problem beat upvotes from people who build tools for fun. 5. Pricing assumed a real budget. $49/mo to start. Raised to $79 by week 3 after 3 refund-free weeks and the same objection repeating ("does it replace X + Y?"). If your price needs a novel to justify, the product is unclear. 6. Retention was the actual growth loop. Week 1 I personally onboarded every paying user on a 12-minute Loom or call. Fixed the 4 friction points that caused hesitation. Churn dropped. Suddenly Stripe looked less like a spike and more like a slope. 7. Then I stopped touching it on purpose. Docs. A help inbox with canned replies. A once-a-week bug block. That's it. If a product needs daily founder heroics to stay alive, you didn't build MRR. You built a job with worse benefits.

Investor in chaos and shortages (@Toronto242M) reportedDaily active users drive ad revenue. The analysis below conflates $rddt's ad business with its value to $googl. The market is saying Google's payments won't offset lost advertising revenue if users stop using Reddit. Every investment comes down to one principle: nothing destroys a company's value faster than people not using its product. If you have to write a super long tweet to justify an investment, then you shouldn't make that investment. Portfolio performs better if you keep it simple

Darren Fields (@dazzerblue) reported@Barkatthemoon77 still not taken this account down…… Reddit gone Facebook gone (multiple accounts) but keep this one…. So many people have outed you. You conned scammed manipulated abused so many people. Hopefully on Monday the courts see fit to end your antics

George (@georgeorch) reportedHow do you actually find AI tools worth using? Serious question. Because every method I've tried is broken in some way. Google: SEO spam directories that rank dead products. Product Hunt: great for launch day, useless two weeks later. X/Twitter: tribal. People recommend what their friends built. Reddit: the only honest source, but buried in threads from 2023. I've been running an AI tool directory for a while now, and the number one complaint from users is the same: "I can't tell what's real and what's marketing." They're right. Most directories don't review anything. They just scrape and list. What's your go-to method for finding tools you actually end up using? Genuinely want to know because I'm building something around this exact problem.

Patrick (@TemptInvest) reportedI believe every $RDDT shareholder should read this. $RDDT dropped today because DAU came in slightly below expectations. The “new” bear case is that AI is taking Reddit’s users. I want to explain why I think that’s one of the most backwards takes in finance right now. So, Reddit just reported the best financial quarter in its history. Revenue up. Margins up. Free cash flow up. The business is genuinely exceptional on every metric that determines long term value. One number, daily active users, came in slightly light. And the market sold the stock like the thesis is broken. It’s not broken. Here’s why the AI steals DAU argument actually proves the opposite of what bears think it does: The bear case assumes Reddit and AI are competing for the same behavior. That someone opens ChatGPT instead of Reddit and Reddit loses a session. But that’s not what actually happens when you watch real human behavior. Ask ChatGPT if you should take a job offer. You get a framework. Ask Reddit if you should take a job offer. You get three hundred people who took similar offers and can tell you exactly what happened. Those are not the same product. The substitution that the bear case requires doesn’t exist in the use case that makes Reddit irreplaceable. But here’s the more interesting financial argument… If AI is reducing Reddit’s DAU by summarizing Reddit content for users, which is the most charitable version of the bear case, that means AI is increasing the value of Reddit’s data, not decreasing it. Every AI model that surfaces Reddit content to answer a question is using Reddit’s data to do it. That’s not Reddit losing. That’s Reddit’s content being distributed through a new channel that Reddit doesn’t yet charge enough for.. The data licensing contracts with Google and OpenAI were built on exactly this dynamic, AI needs Reddit’s content to be useful. The more AI is used, the more AI needs Reddit’s data. That’s not a DAU problem. That’s a pricing power problem that gets solved at the contract renegotiation. Then there’s the metric itself. Weekly active users grew. The people showing up to Reddit every week are showing up more often, they’re just converting to daily active sessions slightly less than expected. That’s a product and notification optimization problem. It’s not a “the audience is disappearing” problem. It’s a “we need to give people a better reason to open the app every day” problem, which is literally what Reddit Answers, shopping carousels, and the personalization roadmap are all designed to solve. Reddit just printed $805 million in revenue growing 61%. 91.3% gross margins. $261 million in free cash flow. $2.8 billion in cash. EPS of $1.25, up 178% year over year. EBITDA of $343 million, up 106%. Eight consecutive quarters of over 60% revenue growth. $1 million in revenue per employee. 514 million weekly active users crossing the half billion milestone for the first time. Q3 guided at $860-870 million, another beat incoming. A Shopify integration still in early innings. A data renegotiation coming in 2027 that was negotiated from a position of zero leverage and gets renegotiated from a position of complete dominance. A professional credentialing product that hasn’t launched. A search monetization business generating zero revenue on 80 million weekly searches. The bear case is a slightly light DAU number in a quarter where every financial metric was exceptional. Here’s the honest question. When the most authentic human content platform on earth reports record revenue, record margins, and record free cash flow, and the bear case is that AI might reduce the number of people checking it daily by a small percentage, are you actually looking at a broken business? Or are you looking at a great business having a bad day in the market? I know which one I think it is. And I know which one I’m buying.

Glenn Nieuwenhuis (@GlennNieuwenh) reportedThe 5 main things I check when a brand tells me they're stuck: 1. Where the traffic actually lands. The first thing I look at is what happens after someone clicks the ad. If cold traffic is going straight to the product page, that's usually the whole ceiling right there. You're asking a stranger who's never heard of you to buy within 10 seconds of seeing an ad. A small slice of people will. The rest bounce, and you never see them again. Cold traffic needs warming up first, whether that's an advertorial, a listicle, or a quiz. Hot traffic should go straight to the product page instead. Sending everyone through the same door is the most common ceiling I see. 2. Whether the creative is actually diverse. People tell me they've tested 30 creatives. Then I look, and it's the same angle 30 times with a different font. Meta now groups creatives that look alike and judges them together. So 30 near-identical ads count as roughly 1 test, and you learn almost nothing from the batch. Real diversity means different angles, not different edits. A pain-led ad, a founder talking to camera, a before and after, a testimonial, all genuinely different entry points into the same customer. If every ad in the account opens the same way, that's the problem. 3. The offer. A stronger offer lifts every single ad you're running at the same time. It's one of the best things you can change to get exponential results. I look at whether the bonuses are named with a stated value, whether there's a bundle that lifts average order value, and how the whole thing compares to what competitors are stacking. Better framing at the exact same price breaks plenty of plateaus on its own. 4. What happens after the first purchase. This is where I find the most money hiding. If a brand is only profitable on the first order, they've capped the whole business at what a cold stranger will spend on day one. That's the hardest sale you'll ever make to that person. So I check the email flows. A real welcome sequence, an abandoned cart flow, a post-purchase sequence that pushes a second order. A customer who breaks even on order one and buys twice more is wildly profitable. You just can't see that on day-one ROAS. 5. Whether the research was ever done properly. This is the root cause behind most of the other four. If nobody dug through Reddit threads, competitor reviews, and 1-star complaints, then the angles were guesses. The offer was a guess. The landing page copy was a guess. The research is where the winning angle comes from, in the customer's own words. Everything downstream is just execution on top of it. So when someone says they're stuck, I rarely start with the ads. I start with where the click goes, what the offer looks like, and whether anyone ever actually listened to the customer.

Dennis Willeboordse 👨🏼🦰 eCommerce Growth (@thedennis) reportedWhat I do before writing a single ad: 1. Amazon. My category. Sort by most reviews. 2. Read the 3-STAR reviews only (not 5, not 1) 3. Highlight every phrase describing the problem 4. Pull 20 Reddit threads, sort by upvotes 5. Search support tickets for "I wish" and "I hate" 5-star is fanboys. 1-star is haters. 3-star is the truth: real pros, real cons, real language. Your next winning hook is already written in one of them.

lord baal (@lordbaal1) reported@Reddit Typical mods. Don't agree with the OP. So they just perma ban you, and perma mute you. Because you have "broken" some invisible rule. But yet can tell you which rule you broke.

The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reportedJokes aside I’m down like 5% it’s not even that bad but more so a joke. I’m happy to own more Reddit. Think this is stupidly overblown and I look forward to scooping more shares up.

ibo (@ibocodes) reportedwe're averaging 200-400k views a day on reddit 🫡 here's what that actually converts to 1. +30k clicks to client websites 2. 5-15% conversion rate depending on the site 3. ranking in ai naturally our clients have been the happiest they've ever been not only are they getting free traffic, but ai is now recommending their product directly and people coming from ai chats, they buy 70% of the time they already trust the recommendation before they land looks complicated from the outside it all comes down to smart planning

Kelvon Himself (@kelvonhimself) reported$0 → $100k/day - Day 39 🎯 what a day we had. Great margins and profits after a day of eating cement... What changed? So I found a problem in our landing pages, the testimonial videos were not playing. Asked Claude code when did the section break, it said 1 week ago so for a week landing pages were performing below baseline. I double checked with Clarity, I could see the recording in the heatmap, so guys get clarity for recording and heatmaps. I instantly fixed it and profits shot up. Is it a coincidence? I don't know, only the next few days will tell. If this is true, I will have to turn on some ad sets that started experiencing a decline in performance. I honestly didn't know why but I'm suspecting it was the issue with the landing page that was a week old. I also doubled the ad spend midday, actually nom I 1.5x'ed the daily budget, I don't think it helped much because I increased this at a same net profit, maybe the extra profit will come in the next days since more impressions have been generated. Today, I have one ad to upload and I will keep the same budget spent yesterday, let's see how it goes. One thing we are also doing is open ended post purchase survey questions, mannn, we thought we knew who were talking to but we were so wrong, now the copy and ads will converge to the data for the survey, this is like gold for copywriters, 1st party data. No forums, no reddit, just 1st party, no middle man, no second guessing. Anyways, it was a nice way to end July. Excited for August.

Dailyhodlpoll (@Dailyhodlpoll) reported@TemptInvest That’s what someone said yesterday and I share the same opinion about the future of $RDDT. AI is disrupting the market. The problem is that less and less users are flocking to Reddit these days as if you need an answer it’s just quicker to go and ask AI

Payton (@paytkaleiwahea) reportedHere's the current state of play across the major social platforms on ai: Bans / Recommendation Restrictions > Snapchat Wholly AI-generated videos are no longer eligible for Spotlight recommendation AI-enhanced content using Snapchat's own tools still qualifies if labeled > TikTok Doesn't ban AI content outright, but operates a 4-tier penalty ladder for undisclosed AI • AI influencers must label Auto-labeling via Content Credentials is rolling out (2026 policy) Mandatory Labels / Auto-Detection > X Rolled out “Made with AI” labels in March 2026 Auto-detects AI-generated images via C2PA metadata and shows a toast notification (will use a gpt2 image for post example) Creators can also self-disclose Stripped metadata often evades detection though such as taking a screen shot > YouTube Since May 2025, creators must disclose “meaningfully altered or synthetically generated" content that could be mistaken for real Now auto-detects undisclosed photorealistic AI and moves labels to more prominent placements Failure = demonetization > Meta (Instagram, Facebook, Threads) Applying “AI info" labels since 2024 Detects via industry-standard AI image indicators + user disclosures Undisclosed AI content may be auto-flagged and down ranked • User-Flagging > LinkedIn Added a "Seems like AI slop" report button (July 2026) The platform is also deploying new classifiers to detect AI-slop and low-quality content Research from Pangram found 41% of longform LinkedIn posts were fully AI-generated • Community-Driven > Reddit No platform-wide AI label yet, but individual subreddits have more than doubled their custom AI-content rules since 2023 Enforcement is decentralized via community mods

equitydesk.ai (@EquityDeskAi) reportedDaily Notes July 31th 2026 Close 1. Software just became the market's only proven leader — buy its calm names, not its runners. It rose 5.9 points of relative strength in a week where the market fell, with 80% of 143 names positive — the first group in six weeks to hold a lead through a full week. The money going forward is in the ones near their trend lines: $CDNS (+1.5% above its 30-week average), $ZM, $APPN, $TEAM — not the ones that already ran 30% like $MANH. In this market, every leader gets attacked within days; the names with no altitude survive the attack, the extended ones fund it. 2. Stay out of chips, three strikes now confirmed. The complex fell 6.9 points this week, its third failed comeback attempt: Micron gave back -29 after its +25 squeeze day, KLA -20 after a record quarter. Only $AVGO (+0.7, quietly positive four weeks running) and $NVDA (still in an uptrend) are worth watching. The rule stays: no entries until a full green week with structure intact — being early has cost 10-30% every single time. 3. The Fed repriced everything rate-sensitive — don't fight it, rotate consumer instead. Three Fed members voted to hike, markets now price two hikes this year, and the rate-cut trades collapsed in three days: rails -8.5, REITs -5, utilities -4.7. Meanwhile consumer groups quietly led: broadline retail +4.9, hotels and leisure +2.5, media +2.8. The money leaving bonds-proxies is going to consumer and software, not back to industrials. 4. Earnings are still a one-way filter: reports that answer doubts get paid, reports that dodge them get killed. Microsoft +16.7 this week — it answered its questions. Reddit beat everything by a mile, but flagged "choppy" Google traffic and stopped reporting user metrics: -14, trend broken. Apple -10 on its report. The playbook for your own book's reports next week ($PTON $FSLY $WAT): the number matters less than whether the call closes the open question — for Peloton that's subscribers, and the market already knows they guided down. 5. The steady money remains the unfollowed names with their own stories — five weeks running. $THC +8.3 this week (again), $HRB +7.0, $IBEX +4.1, $EVTC — companies with strong earnings calls almost no analysts attend, charts still recovering from old pessimism, and catalysts of their own. They've outperformed through every rotation because no theme owns them, so no rotation sells them. That screen — good call, ignored stock, rising relative strength, upcoming catalyst — is still producing the highest hit rate of anything this month.

Ciprian (@ciprian__b) reportedIt's officially been one week since I launched my latest product Over the past 3 weeks (2 in waitlist, 1 in launch) I made 6 Reddit posts which got in total: - 70k views - 500 upvotes - ~500 people landing on my page - 20 checkout sessions started - and 15 customers During this week I tried making sure people have what they need, fixed issues, added more content they requested to the app and so on Which meant marketing was more of an afterthought But this app is built around a community. The more people that contribute with content the more it will grow So the goals for the next week are: - Make it as easy as possible for people to contribute with their own stuff - and I guess more marketing? widen the top of the funnel? Will see how this goes. But now it feels like for the first time I make something people care about, so that's pretty cool
