  @Amank1412 I’d separate audience from intent. X is weak when the $20 plan appears under generic build-in-public posts; Reddit converts because buyers arrive inside a problem-specific thread. The channel matters less than whether the post captures active pain.

  REDDIT $RDDT ADDED $2.6B TODAY OVER TWO CONTRACTS WORTH $130M A YEAR: Reddit RDDT at $158.11, +$13.47 / +9.31% today, one of the largest gains on the board among big, widely-followed names - and the company itself did nothing to earn it. The San Francisco company runs the network of user-written forums people land on when they add "reddit" to a search, employs 2,555 people, and makes almost all its money selling ads inside those conversations. The day around it: S&P 500 ETF Trust, ticker SPY, at $765.27 (after hours), +$3.49 / +0.46%. One stock, not a market. WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID Colin Sebastian at Baird kept a Neutral rating and a $185 price target - the level an analyst reckons the shares are worth - and made an unusual argument. Not that good news is coming: that the bad news is already in the price. Today's share price, he wrote, already sits near his worst case for two expiring contracts, and he valued a middling outcome at roughly $10 a share of extra value, a good one at roughly $20. That is the whole catalyst: an unchanged rating and a sentence about what the price already assumes. THE TWO CONTRACTS Reddit charges AI companies for legal access to its archive of human conversation instead of letting the text be scraped for free. Two of those deals matter: - Alphabet, the owner of Google, at $337.38 (after hours), +$2.36 / +0.70% today: a reported $60M a year, from a February 2024 expansion of its access to Reddit's data - OpenAI, privately held, with no shares anyone can buy: a reported $70M a year, from May 2024 Both expire next year. Neither has been renewed in public. Together that is $130M a year against $2.78B of revenue - the money coming in the door - across Reddit's last four reported quarters. Roughly 4.7% of sales. Set the two side by side. Today added about $2.6B of market value - the share price times every share - against contracts bringing in $130M a year. Twenty years of that revenue repriced in one session, on an argument that the fear had gone too far. WHY IT NEEDED AN ARGUMENT The June quarter, reported July 30, was not the problem. - Revenue $804.9M, +61% from a year earlier - the eighth quarter in a row above 60% - Advertising was $762M of it, +64%; everything else, licensing included, $43M - Profit $252.8M, or $1.25 a share, against about $0.97 analysts modeled, from $89.3M a year earlier - People using Reddit on an average day: 130.3M, +18%. Money earned per user: $6.18, +36% - This quarter was then guided to $860M-$870M of revenue, above the roughly $830M modeled Beat, guided higher, and down 20.99% the next session - $178.04 to $140.67 on July 31, on 29.9M shares against a normal 4.5M. Two worries did that. Visitors arriving from Google searches had gone choppy, and no new AI licensing deal was announced. Both are one worry in different clothes: how much of Reddit turns on a larger company's decisions. Which is why Alphabet is in this story twice - as the customer paying the $60M, and as the search box deciding how many people show up. THE PART THAT SHOULD SLOW ANYBODY DOWN Reddit did this exact thing three weeks ago. On August 14 it closed at $178.09, up 12.63% in a session, on news it would join the S&P 500 - the index that fund above tracks - on August 18. Index funds have to buy what the index holds, so that was real, dated, mechanical demand. By September 1 the stock closed $144.64. The entire 18.78% handed back over twelve sessions. Today's $158.11 close is one cent below the $158.12 it closed at on August 13, the day before the index news broke. Three weeks, two double-digit jumps, one full round trip. The shape today was strong - opened $143.71, dipped to $143.50 early, closed within 16 cents of its best price of the day - but on 5.32M shares against a 7.03M average over the past month. A 9% move on lighter turnover is a smaller crowd setting the price than the percentage implies. Wider frame: the shares sit 44.1% under the $282.95 of September 18 last year, and $19.93 / 11.2% under where they closed the day before the July report. WHERE IT SITS Reddit is fourth on the Hypergrowth Len5, which watches early companies growing fast. It earns that on both halves at once - 18% more people showing up, each worth 36% more - which is how a 61% quarter gets built without either number carrying it alone. WHAT WOULD CHANGE IT: management's own map for this quarter is +47% to +49%, the first sub-60% quarter in two years. Growth settling there and easing further makes this a bigger company growing slower, which is a different style's shape. None of the other five carry it. Momentum watches a company climbing on news of its own, and an outsider's opinion is not that; a high built on Reddit's own October figures would be. Quality-Value hunts a durable business at a fair price; 33.6 times the last year of profit is arguable, but durability is the harder half while a real share of visitors arrives through somebody else's search box - user growth holding through a referral downturn is what would settle it. No dividend answers Income in one line. Alphabet sits first on that same Quality-Value Len5 - the top name on it - because search and cloud are about as hard to displace as any business gets, and the price reads as a real discount rather than merely fair. WHAT WOULD CHANGE IT: search revenue shrinking as people ask AI assistants instead. WHAT TO WATCH, AND THE RISK October 29 is the next hard fact, when Reddit is expected to report - not company-confirmed. That is where +47% to +49% either lands or does not, and where any renewal news surfaces. The risk is that nothing was signed today. No contract renewed, no talks confirmed, no figure published. What moved was one analyst's read of what the price already assumed - and twice this summer this same stock has been handed a reason to jump and then spent a fortnight giving it back. Not investment advice.

  If I had to get my first 100 customers from scratch, here’s exactly what I’d do: 1. Cold emails Send 20 highly targeted emails. Lead with a specific outcome, not your product. No replies? Change the email and try again. Keep iterating until you get responses. 2. Social media DMs Find prospects on LinkedIn, X, IG, FB, Reddit, etc. Send a 15-second personalized Loom audit. Make the preview obviously about them. Give value before asking for anything. 3. Affiliate programs Find people who already have your target audience. Offer a commission worth promoting. Make joining and sharing effortless. Tools like @partnacdotcom let you launch and manage the whole program in one place. 4. Partnerships Find complementary businesses serving your ICP. Create a simple referral deal. Give them a reason to send customers your way. Start with 10 good partners, not 1,000 random ones. 5. Communities Find where your ICP already hangs out. Answer questions and solve problems. Don’t drop links everywhere. Become the person people remember when they need the solution.

  @PriestRitchie They trained hard for it. Enormous amount of debate and discussion. They forged and refined their rhetoric together. The problem is they were on Reddit, a place that bans truth and dignity and hides dissenting views. They assumed it would be more of the same here

  I have a habit of browsing the internet immediately after sending a prompt in Cursor. My brain doesn't want to context switch to work on a different part of the code. It wants to ensure the code I'm currently working on is complete before I move on to something else. But I also don't want to sit there and wait for the agent to finish working. That's too boring. So the easy thing is to open X, email, or reddit. Herein lies the problem. My goal is to replace this habit with - move around the room and stretch - go outside Any other ideas?

  @GorgoKnight Looks like a common issue that’s happened to a bunch of folks over the past two weeks. Can’t pinpoint a fix, and without connecting to see the whole setup, there’s a lot of unknowns. A Reddit user shared this, try this, then reboot the computer after before trying the game again.

  @salowa87 @Noioso2A @reddit_lies You’re completely wrong, the infant was already in post care meaning the surgery was already done. The only reason the doctor was there was to tell them how the surgery went and to field any questions about post surgery. The question was asked after they heard how the child was faring from the surgery, and since nobody else in the family attacked the Aunt it’s clearly an appropriate question. You got some serious issues assuming that the angry doctor on Reddit is correct.

  @sjb987654321 @varuninvesting User stagnation is a risk but let me paint this picture. If Reddit wasn’t desired, why does logged out traffic and web referrals continue to grow? Clearly, there’s a demand for “what does Reddit think”? The issue is how to convert logged out to logged in. Well, management said that the best conversion comes from platform investments. Reddit search went from 1M users last year to 15M users. They just need to make the platform better to use. That’s it. The best ROI comes from within.

  @GovofCO and @SenatorHick Assuming you are both working diligently behind the scenes to stop this ICE-OUT walkout on Friday. This sounds like a potentially dangerous situation for the students involved, and a potential lawsuit against COLORADO PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Parents believe their teens are safe in their classrooms. Meanwhile, the students are allowed to walk out at any time. No issue. No ramifications. But, how are all these teens getting to their final protest location? I've seen generous citizens on Reddit volunteering to pick them up. I'm sure it's nothing to be concerned with. Random strangers picking up teenage boys and girls from the parking lots of COLORADO PUBLIC SCHOOLS. What could possibly go wrong? I'll be following both of your social media accounts today to watch for updates on your diligent efforts to direct CPS to stop the walkout.

  If your startup has no traffic right now, it's a skill issue. Reddit gets 10M+ daily visitors hunting for solutions to their problems as we speak. You don't need an audience. You don't need followers. You don't need a brand. Right subreddit. Right place. Right way to promote. That's the whole formula. The subreddits are public. The winning post formats are public. Everything is free. One post per 48-72 hours. 30 days. Zero bans. What's your excuse?

  @SlumDawg21 @theo no, there is no source, they did it quietly. but if you search online you will see no new bans, and people on reddit saying they are un banned after they appealed, some say they remained banned on antigravity only (google account safe) personally and know people who have been using for months with no issue.

  Stop f*cking adding so much stuff. Honestly. Please. Just stop. Stop stacking. Stop pill popping. Stop reading one more study at 11pm. Stop perusing Reddit and Ray Peat forums at midnight. Stop all of it. Think about it. If any of it actually worked, you'd have stopped by now (and you haven't). Pattern I see after coaching dozens and dozens of 7-and-8 figure execs is that not one was missing something. NOT ONE. Every single one had the opposite problem. Too much interference. Too many pills, too many rules, and way too much stimulus before 9am... all of it standing between his body and the thing it already knows how to do. Trust me on this: You're not under-supplemented. You're over-interfered. Your body doesn't reward effort. It rewards ORDER.

  Grant Miller (@AIGuide_) reported 54 minutes ago

  Claude Fable 5.1 dropped yesterday and i've had it running on a full GTM stack since it holds way more at once now. you can dump a whole category's worth of X / LinkedIn posts, every customer conversation you've had, and everything you've ever published into one project and it keeps all of it straight, which means what comes out stops sounding like the other 400 accounts in your niche running the same 3 prompts they lifted off a thread. and this is HUGE because social is where GTM actually lives now. someone decides whether you're worth a reply from a feed months before they decide whether you're worth money, but most companies still file that under brand awareness and then wonder why nobody knows they exist. i'll go over 10 stages with the prompts included for each one. let's get into it. stage 0: build the brain make a claude project and load it up before you ask it for a single thing. and i don't mean a clean CRM export, because you probably don't have one and it doesn't matter anyway. load whatever actually exists: - every post you've shipped, sorted by what hit and what died - your replies, comments, and the DMs that turned into money - whatever customer conversations you have, so calls, demos, tickets - 90 days of posts from the 10 accounts your buyers already read - what shipped in the product lately - the questions people keep asking that you keep answering the same way then run this: "act as the GTM brain for this company. read everything uploaded and build a working profile: what we actually do in plain language, who it's for, what we believe that most of this category doesn't, what we've posted that landed and what died, what proof exists today, and what we can credibly claim vs what we're still earning the right to say. do not make recommendations yet. summarize what's here, then tell me what's missing." nobody selling prompt packs talks about this stage because context can't be packaged, it's just work, and it's the only reason any of the next 10 stages produce something usable. stage 1: who you're actually writing for "look at everyone who reached out to us in the last 90 days. what did they have in common before they reached out, what post did they engage with first, what were they doing instead of us, and what did they say in the first message. if the sample is too small to support conclusions, say so and tell me what would make it reliable." that last line is the one everyone deletes, which is why half this space is running strategy off nine customers and calling it a playbook. most accounts write for their followers when they should be writing for the 30 people inside that number who can actually sign something. stage 2: customer language "pull the exact language buyers use about [PROBLEM] from our own conversations, replies and reviews. then find the same conversation in public, so reddit threads, quote tweets, comment sections, community slacks where it comes up unprompted. format as quote / underlying pain / awareness stage / objection it implies / angle. then flag every place their language differs from how we describe the same thing." that flag is the whole exercise, because the distance between how your buyer says it and how you say it is where your reach goes to die, and it's usually about four words wide. stage 3: read the feed "analyze the last 90 days of posts from [10 ACCOUNTS] in this category. map what claims everyone is making, which takes are so common they stopped meaning anything, what's actually being argued about, what everyone is carefully not saying, and where the conversation goes next. then tell me which of our beliefs puts us on the contested side of a real argument." consensus doesn't travel, since nobody has ever shared a post they already agreed with before reading it. what you want is the take that's true, defensible, and mildly annoying to half your timeline. stage 4: angles "build 5 content pillars from stage 1 and the gaps in stage 3. for each: the belief it attacks, who it's aimed at, the proof required to make it land, the objection it pre-empts, and where it sits in the funnel." then run every one of them through this: "if a competitor could post this word for word and it still makes sense, cut it and tell me what's missing." try that filter on the content plan you're already running and watch how much of it evaporates. stage 5: voice everyone skips this one and then wonders why their AI content reads identical to every other account using AI. "analyze everything we've published. build a voice profile: sentence length and rhythm, how we open, how we handle disagreement, what we'll be wrong about in public, words we use constantly, words we'd never use, how technical we go before simplifying, whether we hedge or commit. then write the anti profile, the exact phrasings that would immediately read as not us. include every cliché in this category we'd be embarrassed to post." then before anything ships: "score this draft against the voice profile 1-10 and tell me which lines would get flagged as not written by us." and the anti profile ends up doing more work than the profile does. stage 6: write the posts "write 5 posts on [PILLAR] in the voice profile from stage 5. every post needs one number, name or detail that could only come from having done the thing. no question as a hook. end on the line that starts a reply. then flag anything we can't back with proof yet." it'll get you about 80% of the way there, and the last 20% is you, which no prompt is getting for you. stage 7: hooks the first two lines decide whether the other 40 get read, so treat them as their own job. "take these 5 posts. rewrite the opening two lines of each 6 ways: the specific result, the contrarian claim, the thing everyone thinks and won't say, the mistake we made, the number that sounds wrong, and the flat statement with no setup. for each tell me who it pulls and what it promises. then flag any hook the post doesn't actually pay off." that last flag is the one that matters most, because a hook you don't pay off costs you the next post too, since people remember getting baited. stage 8: distribution posting is only half of it, because the other half is showing up where the attention already sits. "list the 20 accounts our buyers already read. for each: what they post about, how much their audience overlaps ours, and what we could add in a reply that their audience isn't already getting from them. rank by overlap, not follower count." then: "given [X hours a week], design a posting and engagement system we can actually sustain. cadence, format mix, how much time on replies vs original posts. be honest about what we should not attempt at this volume." a 12k account full of your buyers DESTROYS a 400k account full of other marketers, and most content plans die because they were built for a team of four and end up getting run by one person at 11pm. stage 9: audit "compare the last 30 days to the prior 30. for each pillar and format: reach, engagement, and who engaged, so title, company type, whether they're ICP. flag anything that got reach from the wrong audience, anything that got low reach from exactly the right one, which pillars produced conversations and which produced nothing, and any drop over 20%. then tell me whether the problem is the hook, the pillar, or the claim underneath it." composition beats volume, so 40 engagements from your ICP is a better month than 4000 from people who do what you do. if your replies are all peers then you built a conference and called it pipeline. stage 10: scale "compare 30, 60 and 90 day windows by pillar, format and hook type. find what works across all three, not what spiked once. tell me what to double, what to hold, what to retire. if a sample is too small to call, say so instead of guessing." then: "build next month's roadmap: 2 pillar tests, 2 hook format tests, 1 cadence test. for each: hypothesis, metric, minimum sample to call it, and what happens if it wins." you need a minimum sample on all of it, or you're just reading noise and shipping it as strategy. the loop for you / your team: - inbound tells you who you're writing for - their language becomes the angles - angles become the posts - posts become the replies - replies become the conversations - conversations sharpen the angles - the audit picks what gets written next month every output feeds the next one, so run it for 90 days and you end up with something your competitor can't copy by screenshotting your posts.

  the most useful stat in the research we ran: reddit replies posted more than 24 hours after a thread get buried. octolens measured it across 522 million mentions. which means an intent listening agent that runs nightly is already too slow. the loop has to run hourly, and the human has to be reachable. the bottleneck is not the drafting. it is how fast a person can approve.

  @ErimhanAhmet May 2024 — Former sailor’s photos called “worse than prison” A former Navy worker shared mess-hall photos on Reddit (raw-looking chicken, questionable brown meat, pink hotdog, moldy bread). Commenters included veterans from the 1990s who said shipboard food was “really quite awful,” greasy, and off-tasting. Covered by The Mirror.  Longer-term context from reporting: Sailors have long described repetitive menus, declining quality after fresh produce runs out (often within the first couple of weeks), and reliance on personal snacks, protein powder, and ramen to supplement. Midnight rations (“midrats”) were frequently cited as especially sparse leftovers. Ships returning to port rusty after long deployments October 2020 — USS Stout (DDG-55) after 215 consecutive days at sea The destroyer returned to Naval Station Norfolk looking heavily rust-streaked and weathered after a record 215 days without docking (COVID restrictions prevented port visits). Photos circulated widely showing rust patches on the hull. Daily Mail and later Naval News / NAVSEA coverage noted the rust was removed and the ship repainted after return. NAVSEA later used the Stout photo as an example of high operational tempo plus saltwater corrosion.  December 2021 — Broader “Navy is rusting away” reporting Task & Purpose published photos of multiple ships showing rust after deployments, including USS Arleigh Burke, USS Fort McHenry, USS James E. Williams, and USS Zumwalt, plus the 2020 Stout return. The piece attributed it to a “crushing deployment cycle” that left little time for preservation work.  2018–2019 examples and analysis • USS Curtis Wilbur drew comments for a “rusty and shabby appearance” during a 2018 Hong Kong visit. • 2019 Defense News “Rust Dialogues” discussed why U.S. ships often look rustier than allied ships: American vessels stay at sea longer with fewer port visits for chipping and painting. A 2005 photo of USS Normandy mid-deployment was contrasted with later, rustier ships. Corrosion control was already a multi-billion-dollar annual cost.  2023 NAVSEA statement Naval News quoted NAVSEA on rusty ships: high operational tempo + steel + seawater = rust staining wherever coatings are scratched. Crews do preservation at sea, but it is balanced against operations. The Stout 2020 photo was referenced again.  Rust after long deployments is treated by the Navy as expected cosmetic wear from saltwater and limited time for topside work while underway; it is usually addressed after return to port. Food complaints have been a persistent sailor grievance for decades, especially once fresh stores are gone and the 21-day repeating frozen/canned menu takes over. Both issues tend to surface most visibly after unusually long or high-tempo deployments with few or no port calls.
