  Who's solving the Dead Internet problem? Most of the world already can't tell when video or images are AI-generated... a fake Reddit review thread is even harder. Slop is still somewhat obvious to the terminally online, but open Facebook for 5 minutes and see how non-obvious it already is for regular people.

  He even sent me a video of him and his dad crying This is exactly why we keep pushing Also, we're constantly working behind the scenes to handle the growing demand coming through our DMs More clients, more cases, more referrals, and more people trusting us with serious problems And we're doing everything we can to deliver properly when they come through Whether it's getting a banned IG/FB account back... Removing fake and unfair reviews... Taking down defamatory articles, Reddit threads, videos, and other harmful content... We're dealing with cases where there's real money, reputation, and business on the line And that's why we keep investing into the legal, technical, and operational side of what we do We want the people who send clients our way to know those clients are being taken care of If you know someone dealing with a serious reputation or account problem... Send them my way $$$ ready for referrals 📲

  @fahnx8 You are not wrong but my issue in particular is that something has definitely changed behind the scenes. It is just consuming way too much usage limits nowadays, and my experience seems to be consistent with the things that I am reading on X and Reddit. So definitely something has changed behind the scenes that is leading to more usage consumption while providing bad and dumb responses.

  Everyone is talking about ChatGPT’s Reddit citations dropping. But the headline misses the more interesting part. We analyzed 50 days of Reddit citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, from July 1 to August 19. The dataset contains ~44 million AI response citations linking to Reddit. And there are some interesting signals in it. First, Reddit is still heavily used as a source in AI Search. Across the period: - Perplexity: 31.64M citations - ChatGPT: 10.03M citations - Gemini: 2.82M citations Perplexity alone accounts for 71.1% of all Reddit citations in our dataset. That is a huge difference. But the more interesting finding is what happens over time. ChatGPT's Reddit citation behavior has changed significantly. The chart shows a clear spike around the end of July and beginning of August, followed by a substantial decline in the second half of August. Meanwhile, Perplexity continues to generate a much larger volume of Reddit citations. So I don't think the right conclusion is: "Reddit is becoming less important for AI Search." The better conclusion is: Different AI engines are developing very different source preferences. And that has a big implication for brands. If you're investing in Reddit to improve your visibility in AI Search, you shouldn't simply track: "Are we posting on Reddit?" You should be tracking: 1. Are AI engines citing Reddit for our category? If citation volume is falling, simply publishing more Reddit content may not solve the problem. 2. Which AI engines are actually using Reddit? Our data shows a massive difference between Perplexity, ChatGPT and Gemini. Your Reddit strategy should reflect where your audience's AI discovery is actually happening. 3. Which discussions are getting cited? Not every Reddit thread has equal value. I'd prioritize discussions that are already being surfaced by AI engines, particularly threads that demonstrate genuine experience, comparisons, recommendations or problem-solving. 4. What happens to your competitors when you're not there? This is the metric I think brands should pay much more attention to. If ChatGPT is answering a category question using Reddit and your competitor is repeatedly being mentioned in the cited discussions, that's a much more actionable insight than knowing your Reddit account has 500 karma. The big shift We're moving from "build a Reddit presence" to: "Understand how AI engines consume Reddit, then build for that behavior." That's a very different discipline. And it's why we're collecting this data at @Pierviewai Our goal isn't to tell brands to create more content. It's to help them understand what AI engines are actually citing, what is changing, and where the gaps are. The AI Search landscape is changing too quickly to rely on generic GEO playbooks. Measure first. Then optimize.

  AI search just had its biggest shake-up of 2026, and most brands have no idea. Between August 9-18, ChatGPT's share of answers citing Reddit dropped from 13.0% to 2.2%. An 83% collapse in just 9 days. Meanwhile, every other engine moved the opposite direction: The Shift: AI Overviews: 14.2% → 17.8% (+26%) AI Mode: 12.4% → 16.4% (+32%) Perplexity: 8.7% → 9.2% (+6%) Gemini: 2.9% → 3.5% (+24%) What This Actually Means: - Reddit was quietly becoming the default "trust source" for AI answers - ChatGPT pulling back this hard signals a deliberate sourcing change, not a glitch - Brands that built visibility strategy around one engine just lost a huge chunk of exposure overnight - The winners are the ones already diversified across Google's AI surfaces This is the same pattern seen with traditional rankings. Algorithms shift fast, and businesses that depend on a single channel take the hit first. A similar shift happened with a client last quarter: three blog posts stuck on page 3 for months, no new content, no new backlinks. A structural restructure of 14 existing posts alone moved all three to page 1 within six weeks. Same content. Different visibility. The lesson carries over directly to AI search: the source doesn't need to change, the structure and signals feeding the algorithm do. What Brands Should Do Now: Audit which AI engines currently cite the brand and at what rate. Stop over-indexing on one platform's visibility (ChatGPT-only strategies are exposed right now) Build content structured for extraction across AI Overviews, AI Mode, and Perplexity, not just classic SERPs Track citation share weekly, not quarterly. These swings happen in days Volatility like this is where SEO and AEO strategy earns its value. 📊 Drop "VISIBILITY" in the comments for a quick breakdown of where a brand currently stands across these engines.

  Since @SixtUSA had my review pulled from Google, I'll post here. I picked up the car from Sixt with the tire pressure light already on. One of their staff looked at it, shrugged, and told me it was "no issue." Two days later the tire went flat on the highway and left us stranded. I called their support number while sitting on the side of the road. I stayed on hold "Welcome to Sixt... Please hold the line... We are Sixt *unintelligible* and for the better. Today, tomorrow and in the future" FOR OVER AN HOUR with no ever answering! Desperate, we finally called our realtor who drove out to help us. We couldn't find a spare tire in the car, so we had to buy a can of fix-a-flat just to get moving again. Later that day when I returned the car I told the Sixt staff exactly what happened, about the warning light at pickup, the flat, the hour plus hold time on the phone, the repair we were forced to do ourselves. Their response was casual and reassuring: “sorry, no problem, we’ll take care of it. There’s no issue on your side.” Cool, we made our flight back home, slept well! A day after I got home they contacted me demanding a full report on the "damages" that I caused. Suddenly the friendly tone was gone! I repeated the same facts I had already given them at the counter. Then silence for almost a month. After that they sent a bill for over $540 claiming the tire damage was my responsibility. Getting an actual human on the phone was nearly nearly impossible. When I finally did and told them this was ridiculous and that I would make sure none of my colleagues or team members at my employer will never rent from them again, their response was a akin to 'that would be a quick way to put me on a “do not rent” list.' They handed me a car with a known tire problem, abandoned me on the highway when it failed, promised me at return that I was in the clear, turned around and tried to charge me hundreds of dollars plus a $200 nonsensical "admin fee" for the privilege, then THE VERY NEXT DAY after receiving the bill I started receiving robo calls from them, stating that if I don't pay up immediately that I'll be turned in to collections. I will pay the portion that is actually fair but not this non-itemized $200 admin fee. I will also make sure every person I know who travels through Nashville hears exactly how Sixt operates. No one in my circle will ever give them a dollar if I have anything to say about it. If they bully me for the nonsensical $200 then I'll move forward to reddit, X, etc. Their proof doesn't even contain exif with timestamp. Just a picture with a pile of tires in a pdf file and with no embedded metadata.

  founder tip the way you grow your app in 2026, is by posting UGC content yourself stop using AI UGC stop optimizing for Reddit I consistently posted 3x everyday on Instagram and crossed $10k/mo in 90 days…. also it hasn’t even been 24 hours and my brand new UGC reel crossed 68k views the reason why you’re struggling to grow your web app is because of your laziness… you are the problem put some effort and start posting content everyday on a new UGC accounts this method is unpatched.

  Meta Ads with ClaudeCode were hit or miss for me, and even when I got lucky, it turned into a dead end until I got lucky again. The real problem was that I had a ton of raw assets, UGC, B-roll, AI animations, statics, and except for the obvious winners, they never got reused. Every new campaign felt like starting from zero. The fix wasn't better creative. It was building a system around what I already had. ClaudeCode is only as good as what you feed it, so start there. Build real user personas from actual data. Label and document every asset with its performance history. Mine Reddit threads, forums, articles, not for inspiration, to literally copy the way your users talk and borrow the authorities they already trust. Wire in your tools so Claude can generate volume when you need it, image gen, video, statics. Give it access to MetaMCP and your analytics so it can see how things move through the funnel. Then experiment, but with rules set before you start, kill rules, promote rules, otherwise you're making decisions at 11pm off a bad CPA day. Branch inside a format first, new hook, new CTA, new body. Then branch across formats. Every test, win or lose, adds to your asset library and your data. That's the flywheel. More experiments, more data, better creative, assets that actually get reused. You stop starting from zero. Save this if you're running ads solo. Follow for more.

  @mufymods I just noticed a lot of reddit posts about slow shipping, on your site it said 2 weeks for superstrike kits, I assume this applies to everything? 2 weeks is fine, but I've seen posts about it taking months to have you ship stuff.

  @ChrisFParnell @paramountplus You don't want to admit this, but EVERYONE hates this. They do not like the watered down art direction, the terrible Reddit / Rick and Morty style meta humor dialogue, the BLATANT disrespect towards the game. There was a, pardon the pun, golden opportunity to make an adult series like Fire and Ice or Conan, but the makers couldn't help themselves. This show is stillborn, dead before it even airs and no one involved with it should be allowed to work on any game IP ever again.

  Most AI models are completely blind to the live web. If you ask your assistant to read a Reddit thread, check a trending discussion on X, or pull comments from a YouTube video, it usually hits a wall. You get blocked by bot detectors, walled gardens, or expensive paywalls for every single platform. To fix this, you’d typically need to buy separate API access for a dozen different services and wire them up manually. That just changed. An open-source project called AgentReach just hit 38,000 GitHub stars by solving this exact headache. It gives your AI local read and search access across 13 major platforms (including Reddit, X, YouTube, GitHub, and Instagram) through one tool, with zero API fees. Here is why it works: Built-in proxy support to get around hard IP blocks Scrapes bot-resistant and unauthenticated pages cleanly Pulls live data and transcripts straight into your AI coding setup You run a single command in your terminal, and your AI can suddenly search real-time public conversations across the web.

  Robinhood tried to delete this footage from the internet. In 2019, a broke 20-year-old typed a 4-step loop into his phone and printed $1,000,000+ out of absolute zero. No hacking. No insider info. Just a raw glitch in Wall Street's core code that unlocked infinite leverage. Watch this: 00:22 -how a Reddit user discovered a literal "infinite leverage" glitch inside the world's biggest trading app. 04:03 -the terrifying moment he YOLOs $50,000 in fake money on Apple short contracts using just a $2,000 deposit. 05:07 - his portfolio evaporates into massive debt live on screen (the legendary "GUH" moment). 06:57 - things escalate: another trader uses the glitch to unlock a $1,000,000 position from just $4k. 09:09 - the exact math breakdown of the 4-step options loop that fooled the algorithm. The global financial system isn't as bulletproof as they pretend. It's just lines of code - and code always breaks. Full breakdown on the biggest exploit in retail trading history below 👇

  Why the GTA 6 Leaks Suddenly Matter Rockstar and parent Take-Two are responding exactly like the big brothers: mass DMCA notices, takedowns across YouTube, X, and Reddit, server pressure. The videos vanish, then reappear on mirrors, then get hosted decentrally. Classic cat-and-mouse. The interesting part is not the content of the clips. The interesting part is the panic. Because just like with Apple and Bond, this shows the real product: control over the narrative. Whoever owns the story owns the market. Lose that control and you lose billions in attention, hype, and pre-order revenue.
