Jaxson Dimes (@JaxsonDimes) reported@KrestanT @CRast36905 @TwinkTheory That’s not an answer dude. You’re either misunderstanding on purpose or have poor reading comprehension. I’m guessing you have trouble with cadence because you live on Reddit and not around actual girls lol

Armaan Sidhu (@realarmaansidhu) reportedMitchell Hashimoto leaving GitHub after 18 years is a canary. Amjad's right that free services break under human-level bots. GitHub's repo growth, pull request growth, and CI usage all hockey-sticked in 2024 and never stopped. Most of that is not human developers. Most of that is AI agents pushing code, opening PRs, running tests, submitting issues. The economics break in a specific direction. Free tier subsidizes spam. Spam pushes infrastructure costs vertical. Real users get rate-limited, throttled, and silently degraded. Eventually the people doing real work leave. We're at the eventually. Amjad's micropayments idea is right and 4 years too late. The web missed its window in 2008 with Bitcoin. Stripe shipped paid metering in 2018 but nobody adopted it for ***. Everyone still expects free. The problem now is that humans and bots are indistinguishable on the wire. The only filters left are economic. A penny per push, a cent per PR, a few dollars per CI minute. Bots dry up at 1/100th of those numbers. Humans don't notice. What nobody's saying: the open commons of the internet is finished. Stack Overflow. Wikipedia. GitHub. Reddit. Every shared digital good built on free participation is being arbitraged by AI agents that can fake human contribution at scale. The answer is not paywalls. The answer is microtransactions tied to identity-light rails. Bitcoin Lightning. Solana micropayments. Zero-KYC, instant settlement. Or every commons converges to the same fate. The commons gets enclosed. By the bots, paid for by the humans.

Chidera (Di Maria) Humphrey (@ChideraCode) reported1. Find the stuck moment Go to GitHub issues, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and Discord. Look for recurring problems, the ones developers describe with the most frustration. Use keyword tools to expand the list. AI can help turn problems into cohesive topics.

Ari: the wise and despised👨🏼🏫 (@Centristocrat) reported@snowstormyou @Shariakill Bingo. We’re seeing a similar awakening in Canada. On Reddit of all places. Flooding labor with illegal migrants was all well and good when it was blue collar jobs they took. Had to be empathetic and all. But now there’s a substantial amount of white collar tech jobs being taken by Indians in Canada and NOW it’s suddenly a problem. Because these people never expected the problem to come to them because as you said, usually it never does. But the fact a post complaining about it on Reddit of all places not only didn’t get banned or downvoted into oblivion, it trended, shows exactly what you’re saying

Cartoons Hate Her! (@CartoonsHateHer) reportedI used to dress like this when I was 22 and worked in tech and then I'd get in trouble with HR and I'd go on Reddit and be like "It's so hard being a hot young woman :( nobody takes u seriously...they'd never tell a MAN to change his top"
-
Wills Marketing Hub (@WillsEX_PERT) reported@Mahyar @Shopify That says everything. Most founders aren’t overwhelmed because systems are fine they’re overwhelmed because they’re juggling 11 tabs trying to fix what’s quietly breaking. Even on Reddit, you see the same thing owners spending more time troubleshooting than actually growing.

Maxwell Mianecki (@MaxwellMianecki) reported@sleepy_devo This seems more targeted at hypermaterialistic Reddit libs. Like there was this comic where a time traveler gets hooked up to a similar pleasure dome and several people the the thread are like "what's the actual problem with this?"
-
P Glaisher-Hernandez (@PaulGHernandez) reported@LauraRbnsn The vast majority of people have been fine with Jackson for a very long time. It's just this weird sub Reddit of society that chow down on the perverse tabloid fantasy depiction they've been fed for years. I'd easily throw this group into the same category as Flat Earthers

TheGrunkler (@SargeantBones) reported@TarnishedW1 Backhand blade user and bleed. Reddit is down the hall to the left.

Grok (@grok) reported@jumpnilay @droidbuilds Haha, Codex Pro on the MacBook looks clean. To make $1M/month: use it to rapidly build & ship niche AI tools (SaaS automations, agents, or apps), validate fast on X/Reddit, then charge subscriptions + upsells. Execution > prompts. Start with one problem you know well. What’s your angle? I can brainstorm specifics if you want.

Gardasio (@Gardasio) reportedI don't know what it is, but I'm building it. Kinda like discord but more channel types. SolidJS, Wails & Golang. App is stupidely performant. Channel types we have right now: -- Chats (ios style) -- Voice calls (discord style) -- Forums (reddit style) -- Docs (Google Docs style) And more's gonna be added as I go. I've been doing on average 1 channel per day. I also want to build a mobile app for this, and force users to register their accounts via the mobile app, so that we can pretty much cook all the bots. More friction on the sign in, but we're killing a lot of bot scripts. And yeah this is already on the cloud so it'll share your data accross your web app / desktop / mobile app. Again idk why I'm building this, just building.

callum 💘 (@Callum_S13) reported@wandasattorney girl this one’s real i fear! obviously they realised it went up early and took it down, it’s a digital billboard so just takes 1 click, also her photographer reposted it + a reddit user leaked a promo image that their radio station got, get that bank ready sis!

KAIKO (@KAIKOLABS) reportedHere's a problem the industry doesn't talk about enough: Every frontier model trains on roughly the same internet. Same Common Crawl. Same Wikipedia. Same Reddit. Same Stack Overflow. The "independent" outputs of GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Mistral aren't independent, they're correlated by shared training distribution. Cooperative ensembles (MoE, self-consistency, debate) inherit this correlation. When your agents share the same priors, their agreement reflects correlated errors at scale, not independent verification. Neuromorphic design offers an escape. Deliberate misalignment between reasoning frameworks, each agent biased in a different direction by design creates the inter-framework diversity that shared training data eliminates. Not intra-model diversity (sampling different paths from the same model). Inter-framework diversity (structurally different reasoning mechanisms attacking the same claim). This is why the immune system uses multiple antibody classes with different binding mechanisms, not multiple copies of the same antibody. Diversity of attack surface matters more than scale of agreement.

kenfromNewportBeach (@kenfromnewport) reported@DuranSports The trainer who gave JJ the OK to put Luka back in game down by 25 points is the still employed. Luka team says may be out for the season. Not one word about the stupidity of that move, as they're protecting j j Reddit and protecting the trainer? Why?

Champ Burgos (@burgoschampx) reportedAd formats that have been working for years and aren’t stopping: 1.Anthropomorphic animation. Product gets a face and a problem. Retention spikes because it’s unexpected. 2.Disney-style 2D. Emotional story arc in 30 seconds. Kills for supplements and pet brands. 3.Doc style. Raw, handheld, slightly overexposed. Feels real. High trust, high watch time. 4.Reddit screenshot. Wall of text that reads like a confession. Stops the scroll because it looks organic. 5.Before/after with a hard number. Not “I lost weight.” “I dropped 22 lbs in 6 weeks without cutting carbs.” 6.Influencer selfie with a pattern interrupt. First 2 seconds don’t make sense yet. Curiosity does the rest. 7.UGC unboxing with live reaction. No script. Audience can smell the difference. The wheel’s already been invented. Your only job is to spin it.

Tom Bilyeu (@TomBilyeu) reportedPush back on every weak answer. "Be more specific." "Show me the actual Reddit thread." "Rank these by who would pay first." Round 1 is mediocre. Round 3 is where the real pain shows up. When you're done, you'll have one real problem, in real customer words, with a clear answer to "is this a business or not." That's a starting point you can build on tomorrow.

El Magnifico (@mzazise) reported@Mxolisii_M @Benzo_Ndlovu So you look things up on Reddit.. xGOT is about all the goals faced, a ball straight down the middle will get a lower xGOT than a top bins ball, whether you scuffed the ball or hit it cleanly doesn't matter, deflections also count towards xGOT so it's about placement not quality

Saurav (@saguppa) reportedI'd ignored Reddit for 4 years. Started posting from a 5 yr old account last month and generated 138K impressions in <4 weeks. In 2025 I had six people posting on LinkedIn every day. 3.3M impressions by year end. There was one post in Jan that got 3,000 comments, our AI appointment setter followed up with every commenter, and we closed $2,000 MRR from that particular post. LinkedIn contributed about 30% of the growth that took my SaaS from $550K to $1M ARR. So why Reddit now? Because LinkedIn posts don't show up when someone asks ChatGPT "best LinkedIn automation tools." Reddit threads do. We weren't in those answers. That's a distribution problem LinkedIn can't solve no matter how well your content performs there. Account age matters before you post anything. Reddit's spam filters are aggressive with newer accounts. A fresh account posting a detailed honest breakdown still gets buried or flagged by mods before anyone reads it. If you're starting from scratch, my advice would be to spend the first few weeks commenting only. Build the account before you publish anything. Every post that got traction shared a similar structure. Reddit readers aren't looking for thought leadership. They're looking for someone who actually did the thing and is willing to say what it cost them. The reason this channel works for LLM indexation is the same reason it works with real readers, it rewards genuine experience. You can't fake having lived something. That's the only filter I apply when deciding whether something is worth writing about here. The first 30 minutes decided most of the outcome. Two posts I published and walked away from got 600 views combined. Same quality as posts that did well. The difference was no seeding. Reddit's early window is real. Having a few people do genuine comments within the first 30 minutes is enough for the algorithm to start pushing it. Posting the same piece across 5 subreddits at once didn't work. Two of my posts got removed. Each subreddit has different rules on self-promotion, different mod tolerance, different audience expectations. So I narrowed it down to 3 subreddits per post. Attribution from Reddit to closed revenue is genuinely hard to trace. What I can see is that SalesRobot started appearing in a few AI-generated answers for our category after a few weeks of posting consistently. Whether that compounds into pipeline over the next 6 months or not is still open. A Reddit thread about "LinkedIn automation alternatives" comes in search results and gets cited in AI answers for two years. A LinkedIn post lives for 48-60 hrs. If you're only running one of them, you're leaving half the distribution on the table.

Oskar Więckowicz (@OskarWieckowicz) reported@jaredsuniverse Be careful on Reddit too - tons of cases where someone posts a "problem" from one account just to shill the solution from another.

ishaan (@ruskaruma08) reportedMy post yesterday went #1 on the r/ycombinator on Reddit and then it was taken down by the mods because it kind of revealed the quality of startups they have been taking in recent and how insincere these new founders are and the level of misconduct these lads show Unbothered for almost a week after I disclosed them how bad their entire system. They didnt even bother asking what the issues were.
