  @skeezee_art Educated themselves from REDDIT. It isn't a harmful term, and the only people offended are the two of you 💀 You need to grow up and realise there are bigger problems in the world, like migrants beheading people in the street.

  @worldcupgreecee @virgoburnerr I contacted support in my native language, so I'll explain it instead of posting screenshots lol ppl on reddit suggested that I make it clear that I'm a legitimate user and that I want to keep posting videos on the platform, so I followed that advice. I attached a screenshot of a video that had 0 views despite receiving likes and explained the situation exactly as it was. I mentioned that it had been happening for over two weeks and that I was aware other users often referred to this kind of issue as a shadowban I told them that I wanted to keep using the platform, but this issue was extremely damaging for creators, so I'd like to know why I was being shadowbanned. I also said that if I'd done something wrong and was being penalized for it, I wanted to know the reason so I could improve my behavior they replied that they would check with the relevant department and asked me to send a link to one of the affected videos. I did, and about three days later, the view count suddenly started going up again just a little I followed up and asked whether they'd found the issue and lifted the restriction, but I never got a response 😭😭 from what I've heard, ai sometimes flags or bans accounts by mistake, so I think that's probably what happened to me

  I finished watching Hail Mary today. I do not recommend it. SPOILERS Basically the Sun is dying because it has a parasite, they send Ryan Gosling to go and look at another Sun that isn't dying. He meets an alien there, they become friends, they solve the problem, the alien saves Ryan, they say goodbye, then Ryan goes back to save the alien.... It's all very cute and nice. It should have been a hour and half movie but it's nearly three hours long. It reminds me of Interstellar but that was a much more serious film. This is just Reddit tier childish slop, too soft, too nice, too fluffy, too predictable, too boring. What kind of civilization makes movies like this? A civilization that doesn't want to grow up.

  Nobody tells you this but most ads fail before the brief is even written. Not because the hook was weak. Not because the editor ****** up. Because nobody did the research. I had a client last week ask me why research costs extra. She wanted to just "look at what competitors are running" and call it done. I get it. It sounds reasonable. Why spend time digging when you can just copy what's already working? Here's the problem. Competitor ads are maybe 20% of the picture. The other 80% is Amazon reviews at 2am from someone who's tried everything. Reddit threads where people say the thing they'd never say to a brand's face. The exact words your customer uses when they're frustrated, hopeful, or skeptical. That's what turns a good-looking ad into one that actually converts. Without it you're just making pretty content with no direction. I've seen it a hundred times. Brands with beautiful creative, weak angles, zero system, wondering why nothing scales. She said "seems like a lot for one document." It's not one document. It's the foundation every single batch gets built on. Skip it and you're rebuilding from scratch every month instead of compounding on what you already know. She did the research package. Point is: the brands that win aren't the ones with the best editors. They're the ones who understand their customer better than anyone else in the category. Research isn't overhead. It's the actual job.

  this reddit founder hit $9k/month in 12 months ! here's the EXACT system he used to find his idea (most founders skip all of this) 1/ reddit beat every channel >first 30+ customers came from reddit alone >he didnt spam links in random communities >he joined founder threads with real problems >warm reddit replies beat cold traffic early 2/ he built from his own pain >he spent weeks reading G2 and reddit complaints >manual research made the product obvious >he already knew which features mattered >being the first user removed guessing 3/ free users created paid proof >early free access brought fast feedback >testimonials converted better than polished ads >free users rarely upgraded, but proof worked >the tradeoff was still worth it 4/ onboarding exposed the best channels >he asked every user where they came from >40% came from organic search >30% came from reddit >that one question made marketing 10x sharper 5/ cold outreach wasted time >200+ twitter DMs got maybe 3% >most replies were polite dead ends >warm inbound from reddit beat it 20x >intent mattered more than message volume the actual lesson: >find warm demand >ask source questions >double down on buyers busy channels don't matter. paying customers do !

  Our best advertorials come from Reddit. Not because Reddit is magic. Because that’s where people explain their problems in their own words. The market writes the copy. Just be smart enough to steal it.

  @natiakourdadze reply to high impression threads in your space before you have an audience. you borrow their reach. one good reply on a 50K impression post gets you more eyeballs than 10 original posts. find reddit threads where your exact customer is complaining about the problem you solve. reply with genuine value, no pitch. DM separately. "drop your link" threads on twitter are a pre-qualified lead list handed to you for free. drop your product, then DM 10-15 people from the same thread. the mistake most people make is posting into the void and waiting. you have to go where the attention already is and earn your way into it.

  zaimiri (@zaimiri) reported 41 minutes ago

  Someone on Reddit built a local newsletter to its first $100 in a month. Tiny number. Useful money machine. - 120 subscribers. - $25 weekly banner ads. - $20/week local business spotlight. - 43% open rate. The product is just curated local news. The workflow used to be 20 tabs, copy-pasted links, downloaded images and formatting hell. So he built a small tool that pulls the local sources, lets him pick the stories, then formats the issue. Takes him 4 minutes per newsletter now. Then, he sells ads to local businesses. Local shops seem more interested in the “small business spotlight” than a normal banner ad. Makes sense. A spotlight feels like trust & a banner feels like rented attention. This is the kind of first $100 online story people skip because it sounds too small. But small is where the mechanism is easiest to see.

  What Outranking a $1B Company Taught Me Before My 1.7M User SEO Project Died One of my first serious SEO projects is dead now. Before it died, it reached over 1.7 million active users, gave me my first million clicks, and for about a month, and even outranked a company doing around $1B in revenue. But the failures were louder than the losses. The real lesson came after the rankings started working, because traffic showed me every weak part of the site, the server, the content, the tracking, and my thinking at the time. I knew enough to build the site, publish content, target searches, add schema, work on image SEO, and chase fresh demand, but I did not yet understand what happens when the traffic actually lands. Getting traffic is one problem. Surviving traffic is another. The site started as a normal beginner project. Some of it worked faster than I expected. I learned that image SEO can be a serious traffic source when the niche has visual demand, schema can help Google understand the page faster, and freshness can matter more than authority when a search window opens for a short period of time. I also learned how powerful Reddit can be. We used Reddit as part of the distribution layer, not because it was magic, but because Google already trusted the platform and certain threads could rank fast when the query had the right shape. That was my first real lesson in parasite SEO. Sometimes the fastest way to appear in search is not to wait for your own domain to build trust, but to place the right content on a platform Google already trusts, then use that page to capture demand while your own asset grows. That does not replace building your own site. It teaches you how distribution actually works. For about a month, that kind of thinking helped me outrank a company with far more money, authority, and resources than me. I was not better than them. I was just closer to the search. I understood the timing, the page format, the image demand, the freshness window, and the exact thing the user wanted in that moment. That changed how I saw SEO. Big companies can win on authority, but small operators can still win narrow battles when they move faster, match intent better, and understand the search better than the bigger player does. Then the site started breaking. During traffic spikes, pages would freeze, the server would throw 502 and 504 errors, and the site could be unavailable for long periods while I tried to work out what was happening. At the time, the server was exposed directly to the internet, so every request hit the origin server. Real users hit it. Scraper bots hit it. Aggressive crawlers hit it. Bad traffic hit it. Everything hit the same machine. The PHP-FPM pool started choking, Apache logs showed worker thread errors, and the server ran out of breathing room because it was trying to handle too many requests at once. That was the first time I understood that infrastructure is part of SEO. If Google sends traffic and the site falls over, that is not only a server problem. It becomes a crawl problem, a trust problem, a user problem, a revenue problem, and eventually a search problem. The worst issue was inside the theme. The site used Themify Ultra, and one function was checking images through full public URLs instead of local file paths. That sounds small until traffic hits. One page view could cause the server to make extra HTTP requests back to itself to inspect images, so instead of one visitor creating one normal request, the server created more work for itself while also dealing with real users and bots. It was a self-DDoS loop. The site was not only being hit from outside. It was also wasting resources calling itself. We fixed it by bypassing the image-checking behaviour and adding a local hosts shortcut so the server could resolve itself internally instead of going out through the public internet. That one bug changed how I think about performance. Performance is not just a page speed score. Performance is what happens when the whole system is under pressure. Then we put Cloudflare properly in front of the server. Before that, the origin IP was exposed, which meant bots and scrapers could hit the machine directly. Now Cloudflare became the front line. It hid the real server IP, cached static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript, and challenged or blocked bad bot traffic before it reached the server. That took pressure off the origin. The server no longer had to serve every image to every visitor, and it no longer had to take every bot request directly. Now, if I build a site that depends on organic traffic, I do not treat Cloudflare, caching, bot filtering, and origin protection as extras. They are part of the build from day one. I also learned that bots are not a small issue. Some were scraping content. Some were hammering pages. Some were burning CPU without acting like users. They did not convert, subscribe, read properly, or add anything useful. They just created load. That forced me to learn server logs, Nginx logs, Apache errors, PHP worker limits, caching, bot protection, and traffic spike behaviour, because Analytics could tell me people were visiting, but the server logs showed what was actually hitting the machine. That changed how I use SEO tools too. Ahrefs and Semrush are useful, but they are not the market. In this niche, demand could spike fast when new content appeared, and a page could get thousands of clicks in the first hour before the window closed. A third-party tool might not show that properly because the demand moved too quickly. Search Console showed what Google actually sent. Analytics showed what users did. Server logs showed what hit the server. No single tool had the full truth. I also made quality mistakes. One of the biggest was allowing an unmoderated comment section. At the time, I thought comments were harmless because they added more text and activity to the page. That was naive. Spam, thin replies, irrelevant text, and messy user-generated content made pages worse. The site had traffic, but parts of it started to look lower quality than they should have. That taught me that more content is not always better. More indexable text is not always better. If the page is the asset, you cannot let random people lower its quality. Now I think about SEO very differently. Before this project, I thought SEO was mostly about ranking pages. Now I think it is about building systems that can turn search demand into something useful without breaking. That means the page has to match intent, the content has to be controlled, the server has to survive traffic, the logs have to be watched, the origin has to be protected, and the traffic has to lead somewhere beyond a graph inside Analytics. The site is dead now. Some reasons were strategic. Some were technical. Some were niche specific. All were my fault in the end. But I do not see it as wasted work. It taught me how real traffic behaves. It taught me that a page can rank and still be fragile. It taught me that a site can have users and still be a weak asset. It taught me that small operators can beat giants in narrow search windows and that Reddit and parasite SEO can move fast when the query fits. It taught me that Cloudflare can be the difference between traffic and downtime and that server logs tell a different story from dashboards. It taught me that the next problem starts after the ranking works. That is the part I carry into every project now. I do not just ask: Can this rank? I ask: Can it survive the traffic? Can it stay clean? Can it handle bots? Can it load under pressure? Can it earn trust? Can it turn attention into users, leads, revenue, data, authority, or another asset? My first serious SEO project is dead. But it gave me the lessons I needed. And those lessons are now part of how I build.

  I was bemused when FamilySearch showed me Jesus was my (g x 90)grandfather. Explains much, but very likely the result of medieval Merovingian grasping at legitimacy to rule. --- I asked my robot friend about it: Yes. Reddit has a lot of exactly this kind of discussion — not just generic “FamilySearch has errors,” but specifically Jesus/Mary Magdalene lines, ancient kings, famous relatives, and users re-adding bad links. The most directly relevant thread I found is “I ‘discovered’ I descend from Jesus Christ... Familysearch!” on r/Genealogy. It includes people talking about exactly the FamilySearch-style Jesus/Mary Magdalene/Merovingian-type descent claim, including one commenter saying they found “the same line” as a descendant of the son of Jesus, and another saying the tree part of FamilySearch is only as good as the research users put into profiles. There are also broader r/Genealogy threads about ancient kings in FamilySearch trees. One commenter gives the standard skeptical answer: it may be demographically true that many Europeans descend from people alive in 800 AD, but “any family tree purporting to show that linkage is likely not accurate.” That is basically the exact distinction we were making: plausible population ancestry, unreliable paper trail. On the “whack-a-mole” problem, Reddit users discuss wrong FamilySearch edits being changed back repeatedly. One thread has people describing relatives or strangers repeatedly changing correct data to wrong data, and a commenter explains that the FamilySearch tree is shared, editable, and has change history. That Reddit folk model matches FamilySearch’s own documentation. FamilySearch says Family Tree is an “open, collaborative environment,” that users can correct information regardless of who added it, and that changes appear in change history and can be reversed. FamilySearch also says it sometimes makes historical profiles read-only “to prevent the data of historical figures from being deliberately falsified” and to prevent “extensive contention among users.” So: I didn’t find a clean official or Reddit-sourced confirmation of “FamilySearch is embarrassed by the Mary Magdalene line” as an institutional claim. But I did find Reddit discussion showing that users have seen Jesus + Mary Magdalene claims in FamilySearch, that other users keep trying to delete them, and that this fits the known collaborative-tree failure mode.
