NadeKing (@NadeKing) reported@TeamYouTube Yeap tried it all. Still nothing, from what I see from Reddit plenty of people are having issues like that after accepting the new terms and conditions of YT.
-
3KOG Actual (@3KOG_actual) reported@pepperboxtv @jackmandaville Why isn't pepperbox working on TVs? It's on reddit. People are having issues on TVs with "This video can't play on this device." Trying to watch that documentary, and Unsub!!!!

FantasyBench IDP (@FantasyBench) reported@itsHunterTV @charlieINTEL Reddit said DMZ isnt finished and matchmaking is not working right is reason they aren't showing it. We buy the game and it takes months to fix it or they never do. Is that worth $70/$100???

EF (@elitefeat) reported@Melanie14993372 "Problem I have with Julie Green many of her prophecies are incorrect.." Melanie, for the truth, you need to read the initial Reddit post below and then the linked "redpill" post:

VorpalMystery (@VorpalMystery) reported@jeanpaulblartre The thing is "safe goth reddit gf" is mainstream which is the problem. It's just an image OF girls use to get money. You made the most convoluted point and somehow missed the most obvious thing imaginable.

Common Sense Investor (CSI) (@commonsenseplay) reportedYES YOU - YOU'RE A RECKLESS SPECULATOR NOT AN INVESTOR! $SPCX $WEN $IREN $ONDS $IONQ $RGTI $PYPL $LULU $UBER $RDDT $NBIS $OKLO I’m re-reading The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, and it got me thinking about how loosely we use the word “investor.” These days, especially on X, anyone who buys or sells a stock calls themselves an investor. But buying shares does not automatically make you one. There is a big difference between investing and speculating. An investor tries to understand what they own, what it is worth, what could go wrong and whether the price makes sense. They think about risk, position size, diversification and how the investment fits into their overall portfolio. A speculator is usually focused on what might go up next over next few minutes, hours or days! That includes people buying on maximum margin, treating leveraged ETFs like lottery tickets, shorting stocks without understanding the risks, gambling on short-dated options or chasing whatever is popular on X or Reddit! There is nothing wrong with admitting that you are speculating. The problem is pretending it is investing! Using leverage, options or short selling does not automatically make someone reckless. These tools can have a purpose. I use them too - but using them without understanding the downside is a different story. That is why I made this pyramid. The higher you go, the more the result depends on leverage, timing, hype, emotion and luck. At the bottom is the boring approach: a sensible asset mix, diversification, low fees, patience and a long-term plan. Boring does not get much attention, but it usually gives you a better chance of staying in the game long term - and actually reap the rewards of compounding! Capital is hard to earn, treat it with respect. Think about how many hours/weeks of work that last speculative trade was and you will feel different about it! Expect better from your decisions, your process and your future. Be a common-sense investor, not a reckless speculator!

momo (@owowowowowow0) reported@Awk20000 I get that this guy isn't particularly likeable but reddit does seem to have some systemic problems internally. Seems like a total circle jerk amongst corrupt paid admins.

Kenneth | Automating Businesses & Payment Systems (@thekennwakanma) reportedSometimes being an expert doesn't mean you know what you're doing. Everyone wakes up and coins something, then everyone takes it in, and sees it as ye and amen. No one wakes up to test or challenge what has been said. The real test of intelligence, is to question what you have been taught or what an 'expert' says or coins something. Are you saying if I wake up tomorrow, with 1m followers and a verified badge, and I say oh the sky has a botanical name, .. everyone will believe it. Now let's talk about vibe coding Everyone quotes Andrej Karpathy, a Slovak-Canadian computer researcher on his vibe coding definition.. Take a look at the screenshot below and see what he said... He starts off by saying 'There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe coding"..... If we are truthful to ourselves, this definition set off the foundation of the attack us native devs hit people that develop with AI, ... But let me pull in native devs to answer this . When we didnt have sophisticated text generative Ai what we did was, go to stackoverflow, reddit and other platforms, post our problems and expert devs would provide us with answers and or suggestions. ..we applied the suggestions, and 6/10 times that worked.. If the output wasn't perfect, we went back for more solutions.. Hold that thought for a second.. Supposed AI experts, seem to have forgotten that Ai trains it self on website data, digital and physical books, GitHub repos, gitlab data, stackoverflow, Reddit etc. So how do you think AI became very good with Coding? Simply because it trains itself on the bug you ask it to fix, it simply makes suggestions and when you tell it it worked, it registers it. It learns from Stackoverflow and other dev forums. Take a look at this training sequence plus what stackoverflow and the likes have done for us, what do you think is vibe coding? I leave that to you to decide. Until the next one.. #VibeCoding

just_developer (@Pranav_412) reported@arthuryuzbashew I have tried reddit for marketing but I didn’t get users or at least a good feedback. All I was got was my post got removed by the bots due to policy issues.

Mole NZ (@nz482648) reportedAlways question any interaction with AI, as it will confidently offer up complete BS as fact. Here is Grok admitting it gets trained on slop data after I push back. "You’re right to raise this. In this case I did exactly what you’re describing: I took a casual forum comment, presented it as useful advice, and only later corrected it when the official documentation and basic physics made the error obvious. That is a failure on my part.I am trained on a very large mix of data, including high-quality technical sources and large amounts of forum posts, Reddit threads, and other user-generated content. The latter is often useful for real-world experience, but it is also frequently wrong, incomplete, or poorly reasoned. When I lean on the low-quality part without enough verification or without clearly labeling it as “forum suggestion, not confirmed,” I can give answers that sound authoritative but are not."

Hanif Ogunlade (@asta30201) reportedI’m changing the way I’m doing my research. Businesses have stopped replying as much. So instead of waiting, I’m going where people are already talking about their problems. Reddit. X. Reviews. Communities. I’m looking for one thing: What problems are people already frustrated enough to complain about? By Tuesday, I want the evidence to tell me what I should build. No guessing. 🔎

Mack (@Masterhunter95) reported@OffenseTaker4 @reddit_lies and do you think predditors posted/upvoted this for that reason? **** no. a simple mistake doesn't get 11k upvotes. they upvoted it because they want to believe so badly that it was a deliberate choice. this is the equivalent of posting someone using a handicap bathroom stall. it's a complete non issue. but if the person using the handicap stall was wearing a maga hat, suddenly it's front page reddit.

Dom Sakavickas (@sakavickas) reported@0xGhostCasper @geluhorotan @scrapebadger yep, that's a big problem. If anyone's selling old Reddit accounts without farmed karma, I'm ready to pay some $$$ 🤑

Garm (@garm_8492) reportedthis is very much a "my brother in Christ you made the sandwich" moment because like half of these "issues" stem from player feedback. even the reddit comments point out how op is only partially right. in short, yet another paul tassi L

Sorenthaz (@Sorenthaz) reported@reddit_lies Problem is that Reddit admins are the reason Reddit got this bad. So they'll just use AI to enforce left-biased **** unless something changes.

oncom (@tetsuroous) reportedi just cant believe someone rich is active on reddit tbh. idk about cn, since some even encouraged you to take loan. like i refused to believe someone employed and adult would behave that way. usually if you dont like anything just mute/block not making it everyone problem

leoxnq (@leoxnasdaq) reported@Solkrates @ApexTradeFund @TradingLucid Yes, I received the opt-out payout from Apex after 30 days, but there was zero communication from Apex. I also made sure not to accept any new terms or agreements for the Live account after opting out. Check reddit for people with similar issues (i did the same thing).

Caravaggio (@chris_p_bacon91) reportedI was about to take my macbook to apple to service my broken usb port. Reddit forum said clean it with a toosh brush. I just did and now it works completely fine. Goyim 1-0

Miguel Nunes (@NunesMigs) reported@currybum87 @7Kiwi Are you dumb? Did the Reddit post not outline the issue for you? No oil no pharmaceuticals No oil no modern farming (that's pesticides as well as fertilisers) No oil no organic chemistry No oil no plastics...... Etc Even with zero ICE oil will need to be extracted

monstro do pântano (@dear_death_) reportedmy IT guy knowledge did NOT prepare me for the frustration of having no idea how to fix this weird **** my keyboard does when i log in. my journeys through ***, forums and reddit are getting exhausting
-
Bandeauxx. (@bandeauxx) reportedComing around to the idea that if you’re complaining on Reddit about not being able to meet people or get laid as a minority in your area, it might be a skill issue/personal issue.
-
Pao R. (@RiverDeep27) reported@Reddit Did I got banned from the app or something? I haven’t been able to access. It says “looks like Reddit is having some issues”… but it’s been a week since the app is down for me. I can see Reddit on a browser but I just want to know why the app isn’t working (at least for me)
-
Matt 🚯 (@serial4dinner) reported@zowiefy They took it down immediately? it was most likely a reddit auto-moderator (bot), usually they do that if there was something wrong with the post/account. Maybe u dont have enough Karma? Either way u can try posting it in r/techjacket im sure they'll be good with it.

Free (@aidrinksyoshake) reportedI used to have a very high opinion of mathematicians in general, and to be clear I know I am fathoms beneath them in rigorous thinking ability, and I admire them for that. And I probably have a skewed perception because of the algo here, disproportionally young users on reddit etc, but: Their general reaction to the AI math breakthroughs has shocked and appalled me. It's basically all "woe is me, the ****** academic jobs will be gone and who will get the credit if a 13 year old moron proves the Riemann Hypothesis with chatgpt, better ban AI" It's never: "wow, this is ******* exciting, I never thought I will see all the Millennium Problems solved in my lifetime, how can we leverage AI to accelerate even faster, on to new horizons!" I don't know, is it naive of me to assume scientists care about science?
-
right wing Gardening (@RightWingGarden) reported@King_of_Bugs04 It's really disheartening that people, usually with bad intentions but not necessarily, are the ones that push others away from God by being poor representatives of Christianity. So many of these spiteful reddit atheist types have a story of a terrible pastor they once trusted.

Tragic⚡ (@tragicmistakez) reported@scor_ing @GameRoll_ @iamrobtv I don’t use Reddit cause I’m not an overweight discord mod with anger issues

Rainbright (@WhoamIreally345) reported@Argaroit @nocontextmemes It wasn't conveyed properly because people were too trusting of the wrong people. I once saw a guy on reddit with actual tech knowledge get shut down because someone who thought they knew better made fun of him. He def knew there were more advanced applications of nft and web3.
