Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Stefan Ellison (@MisterCoat) reportedSo ridiculous that Reddit, the website whose main purpose is finding a helpful answer to a question someone asked 11 years ago, now requires you to login to see anything. If they want their traffic to decrease, mission accomplished.
-
Fuzztank 🇻🇦 (@ChemBearEsq) reported@DezGoth Smith didn't try to do anything but create a cult of personality around himself. Any claim he "solved" the problem of evil adopts very Reddit atheist takes on evil, including a complete disregard of all theology. What do you even think evil *is*?

Fool's Edge (@Fools_Edge) reportedBeen in $rddt for a hot minute. I've seen how this name trades. The volatility is insane. I often think to myself the IV on this ticker is mispriced and should be higher. For instance, I remember the continuous decline on this name for many days leading up to the Meta announcement of competitor (which no one talks about anymore lols). I want to believe it's a coincidence but it smeeeeells. Now the doom talking point is $goog ending up cucking $rddt and it's over for $rddt when it comes to meaningful growth. Yes take this name down to a PE lower than Walmart and Costco. Just ignore the 50% growth. Yes assume it's all over. Makes sense bro. This is where Reddit peaks as a platform. Insert Drake computer meme

Morpheu5 Stock Watcher (@Morpheu5Watcher) reportedREDDIT $RDDT GAVE THE INDEX JUMP BACK: Reddit $RDDT at $144.72, -$6.99 / -4.6% today. The company did not report earnings this morning and did not change guidance. The San Francisco discussion platform - topic boards that sell ads against real conversations - is still giving back last week's addition to the S&P 500, the 500-stock US index, at 7,684.81, -23.17 / -0.3% today. The index is barely down. Reddit is not. On August 13 after the close, S&P Dow Jones Indices said Reddit would enter that index before the open on Tuesday, August 18. Friday, August 14, the stock ran from the August 13 close of $158.12 to $178.09, +$19.97 / +12.6%. Funds that copy the index have to own every stock in it, so they buy around the add date. That buying is required, not a new opinion about ads or users. Four sessions later the stock is $33.37 / 18.7% under Friday's close and $13.40 / 8.5% below the close from before the announcement. The leftover argument is still the July 30 print for the quarter ended June 30. Sales $805M vs about $730M analysts had modeled (LSEG); +61% from $500M a year earlier - the eighth straight quarter above 60% growth. Diluted earnings $1.25 a share vs about $0.95 expected. Net income $253M, about 31 cents of every sales dollar. Ad sales $762M of the $805M. The session after that document still sold it: July 31 closed at $140.67, -$37.37 / -21.0% from the prior $178.04. US daily active uniques - people in the United States who opened the site or app at least once that day - slipped to 53.2 million from 53.5 million in the March quarter, even as they were up 6% from a year earlier. The company said search-referral traffic, visits that arrive from search engines, was choppy later in the quarter. Today's $144.72 sits $4.05 above that July 31 close. Third-quarter sales are mapped at $860M to $870M, about 7% to 8% above the quarter just printed, with adjusted EBITDA - a cash-profit proxy before interest, taxes, and some items - at $385M to $395M against $343M in the June quarter. On the Len5es: Hypergrowth is watching Reddit, ranked fifth, because eight straight 60%-plus sales quarters just printed on a real $805M base - the index add is not the trait. A second sequential drop in US daily users, or a quarter that breaks that 60% sales streak, is what would change it. Momentum is not on this name: it wants a live breakout catalyst, and a four-session giveback after an index add is the opposite. A new company document that reclaims Friday's $178.09 close would be the change. Tuesday's addition is now just a fact of who has to own the stock. The next hard number is whether those 53.2 million US daily users stop slipping when the September-quarter document lands. Not investment advice.

Philip (@philghz) reported@RobHoffman_ I don't think it's as simple as "verified person (e.g. on LinkedIn) = more authority/credibility, less slop = better positioning in Google or visibility in AI." There's a reason Reddit has historically performed so well in Google/AI (and continues to overall). Human conversation can satisfy search intent extremely well, and I think that's partly because of the anonymity, the "rawness" of human beliefs expressed, which can get blurred when people's identities are present. There are also studies showing Reddit has less AI-generated content than LinkedIn, X, etc., believe it or not, despite obviously having a bot problem. If an anonymous Reddit post genuinely satisfies the query better than a verified person posting generic content on LinkedIn, I'd expect the Reddit post to "win." So I don't think it's black and white. Identity, accountability, credentials, etc. can all be useful quality signals, especially for YMYL, but they're still just signals. My personal opinion is that the drop in Reddit citations in ChatGPT could be more about reducing dependence on Reddit... (maybe cause the current licensing deal is expiring soon). LinkedIn also dropped significantly in ChatGPT, just not nearly as much.

£mmy_Web3 (@Emmy_of_web3) reportedCrypto doesn't have an information problem. It has a signal-to-noise problem. Every day, thousands of takes flood X, Reddit, and Telegram,some real alpha, most just recycled hype and bot noise. Most traders end up reacting to volume of opinion, not quality of insight. @nodiens fixes that by turning fragmented Web3 chatter into structured, decision-ready intelligence: 🔹 Sentiment Index — the real mood behind the noise 🔹 Trust Index — how credible the conversation actually is 🔹 Attention Index — where eyes are shifting before price moves 🔹 Integrity Index — filtering manipulation & spam Layer that with live financial data — price, volume, liquidity, volatility across CEXs & DEXs and you get one unified feed instead of ten tabs open at once. This isn't another dashboard. It's a way to trade on evidence instead of emotion.

Santiago Lavado (@LavadoSant57305) reported$RDDT has just joined the S&P 500. I bought in at $145. To get into the S&P 500, you need four consecutive quarters of positive GAAP earnings. The company everyone dismissed as a "meme stock"—which went public at $34 two years ago—had to become genuinely profitable to qualify. That’s the key takeaway: it’s not about funds buying the stock, but rather what the company had to achieve to force their hand. Q2 numbers: revenue of $805M (+61%), net income of $253M (+184%), and a 91% gross margin. That marks eight straight quarters of over 60% growth. So why is it down 37% from its highs? Fear that $GOOGL’s AI Overviews will siphon off its traffic. The contract with $GOOGL is worth $60M annually—less than 2% of total revenue. The fear outweighs the actual exposure. There’s also something the market is overlooking: AI has already consumed Wikipedia, books, and half the internet. Every new model requires more fresh human data, yet the supply is dwindling. $RDDT is one of the few sources that self-replenishes. Agreements with Google and OpenAI are up for renegotiation this year, and Reddit has already threatened not to renew. Trading at 38x earnings versus a historical median of 112x it is cheaper now than ever before. Long since $145. Tell me what I’m missing.

Andrey Vlasov (@vlasovrlm) reported@tracewoodgrains These problems seem to vary from one iteration of a model to the next. I've developed a lot of these strategies to avoid triggering the safety policies that were necessary on one model at one time, but may or may not still be. Reminds me of trying not to get banned on reddit.

$chtack 🐐🇵🇹 (@Big_Steppahh) reportedI used to like it actually. Until it appeared everywhere. Even those little search suggestions boxes are now fully ai. I'd much prefer to see a result from reddit, quora or some other website. The ai results are basically all the same. A terrible moved by google.

Monica Cheng (@MeredithCheng22) reportedI used to think “agents in group chats” were a gimmick. Now I think the bigger problem is that too much strategy still lives in my head, and too many useful skills are too messy or sensitive to share cleanly. That’s what changed my mind. I’m starting to think a multiagent should become the default workspace for our growth team. Not because Slack or gmail are unusable. They’re just very good at holding messages, and not that good at holding work. What I actually want is one place where people can @ my Codex directly to ask positioning and strategy questions. A lot of the time the problem is not execution. It’s that people are operating on slightly different versions of what I want. For example, yesterday my growth team Mengyao and Alyssa pulled me into a meeting to ask what I meant by doing a small creator push for Okeight. Actually they could just ask my codex That kind of nuance gets lost constantly if the only interface is “ask Monica in a meeting.” And honestly, I also forget to sync strategy changes fast enough. Sometimes I change my mind on priorities, or realize an angle is wrong, or want to shift the goal slightly, and I just forget to tell everyone in time. Then different people are working off different versions of the strategy. Nothing is fully broken, but the team drifts. I also want the group to automatically turn the past week of work into a real weekly report. I’ve tried asking people to write trackers before, and it’s painful for everyone. Not everyone is trained to produce polished internal docs, and more importantly, they shouldn’t have to spend time doing that just to prove work happened. What I actually want from a weekly report is: - what worked - what didn’t - what content performed unusually well - whose priorities are off - where output quality is weak - which direction feels wrong That should be inferred from the work, not manually reconstructed afterward. Then there’s the skill-sharing problem. Some of the most useful internal skills are hard to share directly because they expose too much. Sometimes sharing a deep skill means exposing keys. Sometimes it means exposing messy internal setup. Sometimes it’s just too complicated to package cleanly. I built a pretty complex video editing skill recently, and it made this very obvious. In theory I want that capability to be reusable. In practice, sharing it cleanly is hard, and sharing it carelessly is dangerous. I also keep running into a simpler but equally stupid problem: the context already exists somewhere, but I forget to attach it. For example, Mengyao ran a Reddit reply test recently, and the doc from that experiment has a huge amount of signal in it. It could shape product direction, growth direction, and a lot of downstream decisions. But when I’m talking to Codex about strategy, I still sometimes forget to include it. That is such a stupid failure mode. I used to think “agents in group chats” were a toy. Now I increasingly think a lot of teams do not need a smarter agent first. They need a workspace where the agent is already sitting inside the context, absorbing strategy changes as they happen, and using the shared work without everyone manually re-explaining it. We’re going to test this internally for real. I’ll report back next month with what worked, what was annoying, and what turned out to be fake.

Parish Patriots (@ParishPariah12) reportedWell, after I recited the serenity prayer, I made this rant lol. And this is not directed at Stealth, she is an amazing patriot who works tirelessly for America, and does it on her own personal time. But I’ve talked to so many people on this app who would like to do more to help out—retirees, disabled vets, and just regular people—who have a useful pair of hands and could support research efforts. And all their talents are being left on the table because the government still operates like a 1980’s company with fax machines and mainframes. It’s ridiculous. There are so many amazing research threads on X, some that just blow my mind how thorough and well-done they are. And yet you post something and you never know who sees it, and it seems to go into a black hole. And then nothing gets done. And I’ve gone on government career sites and it’s so discouraging. It takes you months to get hired, and if you somehow make it through the gauntlet you have to relocate to Virginia or DC and then you get put behind a desk doing crap work. And some of us are too old to chase down bad guys like cops and robbers. The system is horribly inefficient. And like I said below, you don’t need a top level security clearance to do some of this work. Have you ever been on Reddit? Good grief just peruse that unholy site for 5 mins and you’ll lock onto some shady stuff. The federal agencies have got to be understaffed and overwhelmed right now and there are a lot of patriots who could lend a hand. It’s like they purposefully want to be ineffective and stupid and never really move the needle. That’s probably why I would have never survived working for the federal government. If America is ever going to unf*k itself from the mess it’s in, they would do well to start thinking a bit more out of the box. God, grant me the serenity…

Daniel Rood (@DanielRood11) reported@Tim_The_Sandman Also... AI is occasionally fun to argue with. Not as much fun as flaming people on reddit, but still. Sometimes it's a slow day or you only have a minute or two. Plus there's something somewhat fulfilling about getting Microsoft's AI to admit that Bethesda is incompetent. lol

Chioma Amadi (@Chioma__Amadi) reported6. Check what employees are saying. A company can have an impressive careers page and still be a terrible place to work. So, before you apply, look for reviews and conversations from current and former employees. Check employee review platforms, especially Reddit, and professional communities. Pay attention to what people say about management, workload, work-life balance, career progression, payment, remote culture, and whether employees actually use the benefits the company advertises. A benefit that exists only on paper is not much of a benefit.

HidaDahFightah (@HidaDahFightah) reportedS3 Harrenhal really has the charisma and intrigue of two Reddit mods gossiping in their private discord server. People hated s2 HH and s3 HH so it’s hilarious to see Condal tripling down on it because he’s annoyed fans don’t like his interpretation of that side plot

CompareRx (@CompareRx) reportedBut in reality, patients often get slow, automated portal responses or generic template replies. Faced with severe nausea or a stalled weight-loss plateau, waiting 48 hours for a support ticket response isn't an option. So, they turn to Reddit and TikTok.

AGTP (@AGTPinsights) reportedOpenAI just slashed Codex usage limits today, and users are furious. Here's what you need to know. Reddit and X users say OpenAI cut Codex limits roughly in half within just a few days. The tracking tool NerfTrack estimates the weekly ChatGPT Plus quota dropped from about $160 in API-equivalent value down to about $80. It's not just Plus users. People on the $100 Pro 5x plan and the $200 Pro 20x plan report their weekly quota now runs out in just 1 to 3 days, far faster than before. OpenAI hasn't publicly confirmed or explained a change, and the reports are user estimates, not official figures. Some users point to a possible side cause, accidentally enabled auto-review settings inside Codex that drain usage faster. Others suspect OpenAI is cracking down on accounts running multiple subscriptions. Reactions online range from threats to cancel and switch to rivals like Claude or Cursor, to accusations of a bait-and-switch. Key numbers: - ChatGPT Plus weekly quota: ~$160 to ~$80 in API value - Pro $100 plan: 5x Plus usage - Pro $200 plan: 20x Plus usage - Quota drain reported: 1 to 3 days on Pro plans OpenAI has not issued an official statement on the reported cuts as of today.

Welfare Capital (Jack) (@Pray4Equity) reported@nbaquant Eh it’s just my process. I prefer to trim positions going down, add to those going up. And I’m well aware, I can always be wrong about something like this. Maybe I am, maybe I’m not. If it comes back I’ll still do well. Another thing is, I don’t like volatility so much? I have small testicles, I prefer my holdings uncorrelated and low beta… Reddit moves like a damn freight train every day. Even a 5-7% position can affect my overall port more than I’d like. A complicated way of saying I probably sized it too big to begin with. If we believe in the law of the contra, me trimming should be bullish for you and everyone else.

Shes so self righteous its gross.
