Bubs (Meat Eater) (@Bubslive) reported@HazelAppleyard Lmao shut up *****. If your boyfriend can’t make fun of your ugly ******, who can? What’s even the point of being together if we can’t poke fun at some stupid ****? She had a perfect opportunity to ask him why his ***** smell weird or his **** is a different color or say her lips hang down like that when they haven’t been satisfied or some ****. But no. She chose crying and going on Reddit instead. Get lost.

ecomchigga (@ecomchigga) reportedmost people who want to sell digital products pick a niche by asking "what am i passionate about." that question has destroyed more info product businesses than any competitor ever could. passion doesn't pay. demand pays. and demand leaves a trail you can follow in 11 minutes if you know where to look. i've launched 9 products across gumroad and whop. $127,000 combined. not one of them started from passion. every single one started from the same place: a reddit thread where strangers were describing a specific frustration that nobody had packaged a clean solution for. the process is mechanical. open reddit. pick any subreddit tied to a skill or profession. sort by top of all time. search the phrases "struggling with," "can't figure out," and "does anyone know how to." read until the same frustrated question appears 5+ times from different people in different words. 200+ upvotes on each version. comment sections full of people saying "same" and "following" because the answer doesn't exist in product form yet. that repetition is the niche. not the subreddit. not the industry. the specific complaint that keeps surfacing with no product attached to it. then check gumroad and whop. if products exist and have reviews, that's a green light. competition is confirmed demand. people are already spending money. find the angle none of the existing products cover well. that gap is the business. if nothing exists, the lane is wide open. verified demand. zero supply. the shelf is empty and 500 strangers already told you exactly what to put on it. the $41,200 product i sell right now came from a thread with 743 upvotes. someone ranting about a problem i didn't even know existed before that night. built the solution in one sitting. same file still selling daily 6 months later without me touching it once. the $23,400 product came from a different thread. 519 upvotes. different subreddit. different niche. same exact process. found the complaint. checked the shelf. built the simplest version of the solution in a weekend. every time the process is identical. the niches change. the system doesn't. the biggest mistake in niche selection is thinking you need to be an expert. you don't. you need to be a better assembler than what currently exists. every answer already lives for free across scattered reddit threads and youtube videos. the buyer isn't paying for the information. they're paying for the assembly. you collected it, organized it, removed the 94% that doesn't matter, and handed them the clean version in 11 pages. the second biggest mistake is picking a niche that sounds impressive. "how to build wealth" competes with 50,000 accounts. "how to get your first digital product sale with zero audience" competes with almost nobody and the person searching for it has their card ready because the problem is specific enough that finding any solution feels like relief. specific boring niches with desperate buyers beat broad exciting niches with casual browsers every single time. the more embarrassing the niche sounds when you say it out loud, the fewer creators showed up, the less competition exists, and the faster the first sale comes. i wrote out the complete niche picking system. the subreddits that surface demand. the exact search phrases. how to validate in 11 minutes. how to find the gap on gumroad. the pricing framework. how to know whether a niche has $400/month in it or $4,000 before you build anything. free. RT + comment NICHE and i'll send it (must be following)

GUL (@gulVasikova) reportedA $SPCX investor says he’s down nearly $200,000 on a massive bet—but he’s not ready to walk away. The investor, who shared his portfolio on the WallStreetBets subreddit, revealed losses across both his $SPCX shares and options positions. His biggest holding is 1,498 shares purchased at $211 each, now worth about $136 per share, leaving him with an unrealized loss of more than $112,000 (-35.5%). The damage didn’t stop there. Two bullish call spread positions traded through $HOOD have lost another $82,000+, bringing his total losses to roughly $194,500. Despite the setback, the investor remains confident. “We’ll learn how to trade this stock eventually. It’s my whole thing,” he said in a recent YouTube update, adding that his net worth is still around $1.5 million and that he has already accepted the risk of losing more. Many Reddit users questioned why he continued adding risk after already suffering six-figure losses, with some warning that future insider selling could put additional pressure on $SPCX. The story is a reminder that conviction alone isn’t enough. Holding a concentrated position while adding short-dated options can significantly magnify losses when a trade moves against you.

Pass-A-Gospel-Tract (@PassGospelTract) reported@JosephGran53660 @GospelOnX Where did you get that answer from? From AI, from the apostate and agnostic Bart Ehrman or from a Reddit post? A simple read of 2 Peter 1:1 already settled who the author is, none other than Simon Peter and if you don't believe it then you have a problem with the word of God.

will.i.am blake (@wullie_blake) reported@tracewoodgrains reddit on ai is egregiously misinformed and contradictory, but the problem’s systemic. my husband blocked reddit because the hive mind is inherently toxic; up/downvoting rewards people for being mythic ******** if you fall even slightly foul of subreddit norms.

SilverBoarMedia (@AbcAbc347433) reported@NilesSankey Way to confirm our prejudices lol, it was crazy to me finding out that Todd Howard was paying attention to reddit of all places. We all knew that the game dev bubble problem was bad but now we know how bad. On the flip side though, it makes it even easier to ignore them.

Albert Metz (@albertmetzz) reported@tibo_maker genuine question: is the constraint the Reddit accounts themselves or your ability to manage results across too many? those are different scaling problems

sigma capitalist (@phithetasigma) reportedDid a quick sweep of my X wall to see what's trending and saw a few accounts pumping $RDDT Reddit I don't know if people realize that Reddit *was* great as a data scraping ground for AI labs (initially, then with licensing agreements) due to its pool of human-generated content which these labs require to train their models/NLP capabilities However, the situation has since evolved. The advanced/frontier AI labs are now more focused on highly curated content - and are willing to pay for specialized domain knowledge/data work. Platforms like Mercor are thriving because of this For AI startups, they can now bootstrap training/fine-tuning using synthetic data (like TML's Inkling using Chinese open models) Those who say, well, there're data integrity issues with AI training on AI But the counterargument is, the internet is increasingly filled with AI-generated content and what's more, we now have agent swarms generating/iterating data loops Not only is signal-to-noise ratio shifting rapidly, we'll soon be unable to discern between authentic human-generated content vs AI ones My view is public forums like Reddit are soon going to be what they're initially set out to be - mostly for fun and entertainment purposes. Somewhere you doom-scroll mindlessly after a long work day lol Similarly for Discord. Arguably, they are better positioned given their community vibes with dedicated spaces/whatnot but from what I understand, they are facing real monetization difficulties. I believe they have been/are trying to IPO but I think it's gonna be a tough sell

DOGA (@SurajHiDogaHai) reported@aravind @GabbbarSingh They already have. They just don’t know yet. The upper hand he had using social media during 2004-2014 has completely overturned. Insta-Reddit-X is a ghetto of Left Bred vile creators who can go down to any level of filth to have quick dopamine.

sleep_magnets (@sleep_magnets) reportedX has a major problem with censorship. There's a huge difference between promoting violence and making a general observation that certain events are likely to result in violence. Turning into reddit where half of reality can't be discussed because it includes violent outcomes.

VIUS Investing (@VIUSInvesting) reported$RDDT’s Google renewal is the first real test of whether Reddit has an AI data moat. The Wall Street Journal reports that Reddit has discussed cutting off Google’s AI access as their $60 million-a-year agreement approaches expiration. The key question is whether Google sees Reddit as replaceable. Reddit ended 2025 with more than 2 billion posts, 22 billion comments and 100,000 active communities. Google’s agreement provides a structured, real-time feed of new posts and comments, which is more reliable than scraping public pages. The historical archive alone does not justify a higher renewal price. Much of that content has already entered previous model-training datasets. The recurring value comes from newly created human conversations: current product experiences, changing opinions, niche expertise, reply relationships and voting signals. That value is real. Research published in Nature found that indiscriminate training on recursively generated data can degrade models over time. As more of the open web becomes AI-generated, verified human data should become more valuable. Reddit still has to prove that its own content remains human. Its 10-K acknowledges that AI makes bots, inauthentic engagement and low-quality content harder to detect. If Reddit cannot control that contamination, the asset Google is licensing deteriorates. The financial exposure is smaller than the market reaction suggests. Reddit generated $140 million of “other revenue” in 2025, including content licensing, equal to about 6.4% of total revenue. Google’s reported $60 million payment represented roughly 2.7% of total revenue. However, Reddit also disclosed that almost all licensing contract value comes from two partners, widely understood to be Google and OpenAI. Losing Google would weaken the claim that Reddit can convert its data into durable, recurring revenue. The larger risk sits in advertising. Ads produced about 94% of Reddit’s 2025 revenue, and Reddit explicitly says it relies on Google’s organic search traffic. A Google algorithm change already disrupted logged-out user growth in late 2024. AI Overviews now create another problem: Google can use Reddit conversations to answer the query before the user visits Reddit. That makes this a two-sided negotiation. Google wants fresh human discussion. Reddit wants licensing income without sacrificing the traffic that supports its much larger advertising business. A successful renewal requires more than keeping the $60 million: • higher or usage-based pricing • payment for real-time retrieval and AI display • attribution and meaningful traffic back to Reddit • protection against Reddit content replacing Reddit visits • evidence that the underlying conversations remain human If Google accepts those terms, Reddit begins to demonstrate real pricing power. If the contract shrinks, renews at similar economics, or requires Reddit to trade away search traffic, the data remains valuable—but the moat belongs partly to the distributor. Which side has more leverage here: the owner of the human conversation, or the company controlling how people discover it? $RDDT ~ Reddit $GOOG ~ Alphabet

Hamza Khalid (@humzaakhalid) reportedBreaking: Claude has a serious privacy problem right now. And if you have EVER clicked “Share” on a Claude conversation, stop scrolling and check your account. A Reddit user discovered that a large number of shared Claude chats could be found through Google Search. The thread exploded almost immediately. Why? Because people weren’t finding harmless prompt examples. Reddit users reported discovering shared conversations containing: → Crypto-wallet information → Deeply personal conversations → API keys and account credentials → Resumes with names & addresses → Internal projects and business plans → Sensitive legal and ethical discussions To be clear: This does NOT mean every private Claude conversation was leaked. The problem involves conversations where someone clicked Claude’s “Share” button. According to Anthropic’s own documentation, sharing creates a public snapshot that anyone with the link can view. Most users understand that as: “I can send this link to a specific person.” They do not understand it as: “Someone may discover this conversation through a Google search.” But that appears to be exactly what happened. These shared pages were being treated like ordinary public webpages that search engines could crawl and index. So a conversation you shared once with a colleague, client or friend could potentially become searchable by someone who never received the link. That distinction matters. “Anyone with the link can view this” should not automatically become: “Anyone can find this.” And the most alarming part is how people use Claude today. They paste in: - Source code. - Legal questions. - Client documents. - Internal strategies. - Personal problems. - Financial information. Credentials needed to debug an application. Then they generate a share link because it is easier than copying the conversation. One click can turn months of private context into a public snapshot. And once something has been indexed, removing the original page may not erase every cached or archived copy immediately. This also echoes the ChatGPT indexing controversy from 2025. OpenAI’s version involved an option that allowed users to make shared conversations discoverable through search engines. After sensitive conversations appeared in Google, OpenAI removed the feature and began working to remove indexed pages. Now Claude users are facing a dangerously similar lesson: A public AI share link is still a public webpage. Never treat it like a private document. Here is what you need to do right now: Open Claude. Go to: Settings → Privacy → Shared chats → Manage Review every conversation listed there. Unshare anything containing personal, financial, legal, client, or company information. And if a shared conversation ever contained a password, API key, access token, private key, or wallet credential, deleting the link is not enough. Rotate or revoke that credential immediately. Then review the related account for unusual access. The safest rule going forward is simple: Never put secrets inside an AI conversation you may eventually share. Because “hard to discover” is not the same as private. And “anyone with the link” is not a security boundary.

Vincent (@tellenne_) reported@_mattwelter that's true for builders but it's not true for most consumers they're still on shopify wordpress photoshop webflow buffer n8n zapier they're still paying expensive agencies, they pay for counseling even when they use AI they pay for a guy or a team to run AI for them honestly the ideas we see about vibecoding internal tools VS paying for SaaS on X, we see the same in the open source AI space (why are you paying to rent AI when you can own it etc). X indie hackers are pretty much ignorant casuals according to the reddit/GH communities, you're always someone's noob if you have a sink leak there's a 99% chance you can fix it alone but most people will still call the plumber

deno (@denohawari) reported2/ find the questions, rather than the keywords go to the subreddits it named sort by top posts this year, then search your category write down every question people keep asking that nobody answered well a Semrush study found 217,000 AI prompts pulled from 248,000 different Reddit threads the citations are spread across thousands of small questions, so you win on coverage, not on one big post
