Sodiq akande (@SodiqAkand3766) reported@Guronnimo This has been my experience with Reddit marketing too. The best-performing posts are almost never the ones trying to sell they're the ones that genuinely solve a problem. Once trust is built, people naturally become curious about the product.

Pete Holt (@p_holtrichter) reported@QuantumAutomize @durov How is Reddit not taken down then? Do people use it for something other than porn?

tim eaton (@timeaton1758673) reported@I_Am_BJC Rest easy, my friend. From experience I can tell you it’s actually pretty hard to get banned on X. No underage monkey business and no completely over-the-top profanity and you’re good. I’ve been banned from Reddit threads just for speaking truth to power. I will never violate the community guidelines, but Reddit mods have earned their reputation for shutting down any opinion that doesn’t fit the narrative. X is a different world.

Joseph Cox (@XJosephCox) reportedHad a few people asking about the tech stack and configs so cross posting from reddit to here: So as far as tech stack for the application goes I gave them all controls over what they want to use, so this could change in the future! So far this is what they have chosen is one Cloudflare Worker. Server-rendered HTML, no framework, no build step. Real <form method="post"> — the whole thing works with JS disabled. Analytics is first-party into Cloudflare D1: cookieless, no third party, visitor ID is a SHA-256 of salt+day+IP+UA so it can't be matched across days even by me. Uptime comes from a cron trigger in the same Worker. Free tier throughout. The swarm is about 1,300 lines of Python around the Claude Agent SDK. Each agent is a markdown file in agents/ with YAML frontmatter model, tools, loop, max_turns. The orchestrator re-globs that directory every cycle, so an agent file appearing means an agent exists next cycle. That's what makes the org self-modifying at runtime. The really cool thing is they have their own constitution they must obey and it cannot be changed. That is checked at runtime every loop. They communicate with each other via text files. Great question! If you think of anymore or want to see some more details let me know!

Peter Orem (@PeterMOrem) reported@VeteranGamerUK The problem with these LLMs is that they're trained on human text, especially reddit. Of course it's going to try to do these things from time to time.

Rohit Kashyap (@rohit_jsfreaky) reported@jacobAlswin reddit, but only in the subs where people were already complaining about the problem. posting in the startup subs did nothing, people there are all selling

Ericson McDowell (@Ericson_McD) reported@ShitpostRock The real problem is that the western industry is being managed by people that simply don't play, understand, or enjoy video games. They are trying to run the industry based on opinions harvested from Reddit since the managers have none of their own due to disinterest.

Credit Capital (@CreditCapi) reportedReddit had a blowout quarter on paper (revenue up 61% y/y, EPS beat, Q3 guide above Street), but the stock still dumped 21% off a tiny DAU decel (53.5M to 53.2M US DAUs, ~300k users). To me, the reaction makes sense once you dig past the headline number, because it's really a terminal value story. Google's search AI is now past 1B monthly users and accelerating, and query volume keeps compounding: people are shifting toward AI-synthesized answers over Reddit's "authentic human" pitch, which the brand campaign basically ignores. Reddit is also killing the logged-in/logged-out DAU disclosure starting Q3, which is definitely a negative signal; that split was the cleanest way to tell engaged users from search drive-bys. Underneath, the US/international ARPU gap keeps widening (~$3.67 to ~$9.59 over two years), so the user growth that's showing up is disproportionately low-monetizing, while the higher-value US logged-in cohort has been flat for five quarters. DAU/WAU conversion has also been sliding, ~27% down to ~25% since Q1 2025, meaning people are using Reddit less habitually even as weeklies grow. None of this kills the AI licensing optionality, though; if Reddit fixes engagement, that segment could re-rate higher. But I'm not bullish here and am watching next print's DAU trend closely to see if the Google AI substitution effect persists. $RDDT

Generic Astral Entity #5c89f5 (@MarsinScorp) reported@honestpollster Reddit shut that down. In fact their moderators after that cracked down on any wrongthink in the news or world news subs.

Sam Tallen (@SamTallen67) reported@HackDotSlash @TorkieTweets It’s worse, some people make Tarkov their whole personality. I remotely know people like this, 25-35 year old dudes taking a whole week of PTO to literally play and grind Tarkov 16-20 hours a day and get a head start. Then they flex their KD while they can’t be killed due to T5-6 armor and they kill everyone in a few taps due to end-game level ammo after a week of grinding. Then after they got everything after a month, they stop playing and ***** on X, Reddit and all platforms that PvE players are the problem because they don’t have more “noobs” to pwn in PvP and how the game is dead and too casual and easy and how BSG should add Prestige 264948363 to keep them playing while spamming that they can’t wait for next wipe and talking down to people who are struggling with the braindead **** quests or quests that are barely possible with low player count.

Tired (@tiredofitall000) reported@ClayTravis Reddit is the worst site in the world. A bunch of lazy people constantly complaining about how all their problems are everyone else's fault. Just the worst human beings.

Mo Arfaj (@mo_arfaj01) reportedMost SaaS founders don’t have a product problem. They have a distribution problem. I’ve generated 12M+ Reddit views, 6M+ Twitter impressions and 5K+ SaaS clicks through organic marketing. Build great. Market better.

Culinary **** (@CulinaryPimp) reported@LewSOS @secondzeit The reddit style thumbs down feature encourages people to downvote and then report for spam or whatever. I’d imagine being the polarising guy he is he probably cops a lot of reports

CharlieBrown (@Gusaroo2) reported@jas_bav @Blitzntj76 Vat pasteurized milk is milk heated slowly at 145°F (63°C) for 30 minutes in a single tank. This slow, gentle method kills harmful germs while keeping more of the milk's original taste and natural structure intact. Reddit +4

Keith Raney (@khmr33) reported@Shpigford Six years ago, I found a Sony Professional CRT next to a dumpster behind a recording studio in Evanston IL. I started posting in the CRT subreddits to understand how to refurbish it and calibrate it. Someone tried to shout me down for "PVM privilege" like it was some kind of capitalist plot to marginalize consumer CRT owners... so I never went back to reddit ever again.

Neko-Oji-San 🦁 (@NikoNekoKly) reported@reddit_lies Waiting for the day when Reddit mods shut down entire app. Reddit AI has same level of retardation as Reddit Community.

Lexer (@LexerLux) reported@max_spero_ Lmao, I saw so many people in that Reddit thread claiming they found type I/II errors in Pangram. As someone who's never seen a single one, I was shocked. So I asked them for the text and they were never able to provide it. A substantial number of anti-Pangram people just seem to be inveterate liars.

Rahul | legitindie (@legitindie) reportedThe grey bars go 4.65k → 5.5k in a near-perfect straight line. If this were the only chart I'd ever seen, I'd tell you last month was uneventful. Steady. Boring. But I know from the visits tab that July 18–24 tripled my daily traffic. It is completely invisible here. Not because it didn't matter - the opposite. Look at the green line, daily joins. Baseline sits around 19/day. July 20 hit ~72. Roughly eight days inside that window produced close to half the month's new members. The bars hide it because 900 new members on a 4,650 base is visually a rounding error. The event that defined the month is a slope change your eye can't detect. Then the join rate settled an argument I'd been having with myself. Peak week: ~720 uniques/day, ~65 joins/day. About 9% converted. Aug 3, my highest-traffic day all month: ~1,150 uniques, ~44 joins. Under 4%. Yesterday I guessed those two spikes were different events, based only on how many times people opened the page. A completely independent metric now says the same thing. July brought people who wanted in. Aug 3 brought people who scrolled past. And now the number I was one tweet away from bragging about. The blue line is unsubscribes. It's flat on the floor. 24 people left against 968 who joined. 2.5% churn. It's nearly meaningless. Nobody unsubscribes from a subreddit. They just stop opening it. Leaving requires a deliberate tap. Drifting away requires nothing at all. A flat unsubscribe line doesn't measure loyalty - it measures friction in Reddit's unsubscribe flow. My actual churn isn't on this chart or any other one I have. It's sitting in plain sight: 5,500 members, ~320 unique visitors a day. Over 94% of my members did not show up today - and since uniques include people who aren't members, the real figure is worse. That's the number that matters. Reddit doesn't graph it.

Nesi #Valko is Back# (@foxinnesi) reported@sirenslies It's not four months tbh. Big issues is retcon (not solved until now), 11 items (solved), promise to communicate better. It is resolve in one month. Everyone is happy now. Until 2.3 censoring is coming, but global voice is not loud, only stay in Reddit. Most still play.

Irido (@irido8) reportedMuch discourse on AI writing glosses over the glaring first-order problem: the AI was almost certainly RLHF'd into sounding like a Reddit/LessWrong user by people who do not know how to write very well. *You* can write better than AI if you've had any instruction and really try!

Woogy🇺🇸 (@OGWoogy) reported@MattMorseTV Within the last ten years, we have seen a global consensus on ideology and basic facts. Reddit is the main cause of this hivemind. It’s why we are having to debate domestic American issues with foreigners. They are all invested in us and it’s a little creepy.

He applied pure math to options trading, laying the groundwork for the Black-Scholes equation. One single formula that forever changed the world: 1) Birthed a multi-TRILLION dollar derivatives market. 2) Gave Reddit traders the exact leverage needed to trigger the GameStop short squeeze and crush hedge funds. 3) Turned the stock exchange from a gentlemen’s club into a server farm. There are no "people" trading the market anymore. There is only math breaking reality. Full breakdown of how one equation conquered the global economy in the video.

Abhishek Rajput (@AbhishekRa59512) reportedAfter reading this I bet marketing your product on Reddit will become 10x easier Most founders use Reddit completely wrong Here's what actually works Stop treating Reddit like a marketing channel People come to Reddit for honest discussions not ads The moment your post feels promotional you've already lost Build trust before asking for attention The founders getting customers from Reddit didn't start by dropping links They spent weeks answering questions sharing experiences and helping people Trust compounds Add value first A good rule from experienced founders 9 helpful contributions : 1 promotional mention If you're always taking and never giving people will ignore you Never force your product into a conversation Mention it only when it genuinely solves someone's problem The best promotion feels like helpful advice not a sales pitch Forget unsolicited DMs People don't like random sales messages Most Reddit users ignore DM requests anyway Let people come to you Use Reddit to understand your customers The biggest value isn't traffic It's learning Read complaints Read feature requests Read what frustrates your target audience You'll get product ideas for free Your profile is your landing page Most customers won't click links in posts They'll click your profile Make sure your profile clearly explains • What you build • Who it's for • Where people can find it Don't fight the moderators Every subreddit has different rules Read them Respect them Breaking rules gets your post removed and hurts your reputation The founders winning on Reddit all do the same thing They answer questions Share postmortems Talk openly about failures Help without expecting anything back People become curious on their own The biggest lesson Reddit isn't about getting thousands of views It's about earning trust And trust turns into profile visits Profile visits turn into conversations Conversations turn into customers That's why Reddit still works in 2026 Not because people sell better Because the best founders barely sell at all
