-
Welfare Capital (Jack) (@Pray4Equity) reported@TheWiseIC I like to think the market is more efficient than that but sometimes it does the stupidest things… Meta or Snap down, Reddit down. Meta makes a forum, Reddit down. Meta settles lawsuit, Reddit down. I don’t get it. I choose not to believe the market is actually that silly, but it’s hard to tell
-
Jessie's Mama (@Xropang) reported@malevolentdenis And u r right. i actually had all these possibilities and i wasn't really sure which what made me feel it's neurodivergence was when i searched my issue as is without labels on reddit and found the threads to be mostly on neurodivergence subreddits. I still dunno what my prob is
-
Tom Bilyeu (@TomBilyeu) reported2. Go where they complain. [BEGIN PROMPT] I want to build [your idea]. Find the Reddit communities my buyer spends time in. List the 10 things they complain about most. Mark which ones my idea would fix and which ones it ignores. [END PROMPT] For Quest Apparel, complaints about bar taste probably came up 847 times. Complaints about workout clothes came up 12. That math kills the idea in an afternoon. It took us two years.

bookreader13 (@reputationfan13) reported@CentristMadness Reddit really should take those down. I get that they are reluctant to start policing what people can and cannot post but for pity sake, have a back bone!

Chris (@chriswray_) reportedwe show prospects our DISPUTE RATE before they ever get on a call with us. everyone hides that number. that's exactly why it works. here's the thinking: between booking and showing up, every single prospect goes digging. they're about to spend real money, of course they research you. that's not a bad thing. the only question is whether they're driving that research or you are... say nothing and they find a reddit thread from two years ago, one angry review, some stranger's opinion. then they show up guarded or they don't show up at all. so we do their due diligence for them. on our confirmation page, under the confirmation video, there's a second video where we walk through our dispute rate on camera. the actual number. 90 days of trend so they can see direction, not just a snapshot. we also show them where visa and mastercard set their monitoring thresholds and where we sit against that line. the number alone means nothing to someone with no reference point. the benchmark turns a number into a judgment they can actually make. then we go through why disputes happened at all. real reasons. buyer's remorse. people who didn't do the work. and we close confident. no apologizing. apologizing at the end undoes everything the video just built. what it actually does: kills the objection before the call. they can't hit you with something you already showed them. changes who shows up. informed instead of guarded. filters. anyone this scares off was going to be a dispute anyway. i'd rather lose them on a confirmation page than on a chargeback 3 months later. and nobody else in this industry does it. i watch call recordings and hear prospects bring it up to our closers unprompted. one warning before you copy it. your number has to actually be good. this doesn't fix a bad business, it exposes one. fix fulfillment first, then be transparent about it. IN A MARKET WHERE NOBODY TRUSTS ANYTHING, THE GUY SHOWING THE BAD NUMBERS WINS

d. (@cocteautwi) reportedon reddit calling people's reading taste "slop" and watching how i get downvoted. someone put me down NOW

Erik Setzer (@kaptingavrin) reported@MadamSavvy @TheQuartering Bonus, he's now trying to use a Reddit post to support his claim, but the guy only reported lower dosage in his dog, and his dog gets more meds than just pheno and is looking to even increase the pheno frequency, suggesting it might be an issue with the dog, not the drugs.

Dudeeeeee (@Dudeeeeee25144) reported@Atmosphere0Sky @cirnosad And this is BEFORE we get to the whole thorny problem of their bot infestation. A massive portion of their traffic is CLEARLY automated and not real people. Does this help you understand why you shouldnt believe reddit posts?
-
BlueyAnon (@BlueyAnon) reported@RobertMSterling Ah, the old fake Reddit posts enhanced with AI or even fully generated by AI at this point. Good stuff. The tell was picking Booth instead of Stanford. Booth is Middle Class comfort that would be a real let down, settlement for an ambitious “woman” like this loser playing pretend
-
The Rapid Five (@ToonTasticRanks) reported@TwitteSchaa Stfu, you and I both know this dumbass reddit detective is just trying **** ride rockstar and pretend like he's a master detective compiling everything to take down rockstar. These people are awful, and they need to be called out

The Queen's Speech (@QueensSpeec1) reported@WellsJorda89710 It doesn't take much to go down the rabbit hole of BUNNYXO. She's got a lawyer who will sue anyone who discusses her on @Reddit also. Check out @NicoleArbour account. She's got lots of experience with these 2.

⋆✯ 𝓝𝓮𝓬𝓻𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓾𝓼 ✯⋆ (@NecromatusRS) reported@TheVacancyOSRS @rs_chiri do you forget reddit controls the game? So if something really broken was tied to a pet, then reddit would not want it in the game because pets take actual hard work and effort to get, and most of reddit could never do something like that, like grind for a certain pet

Audit The Herd (@AuditTheHerd) reported$RDDT We will get a data licensing deal this year with $GOOG but it is not where my thesis lies and it is a trap for the bears. From my perspective Reddit has never needed Google to be useful. I do not go to Reddit because Google told me to. I go to Reddit because I want an answer from a real person who has actually done the thing I am trying to do. That is the entire model. It is direct. It is intentional. Google is just a middleman that learned to stand between me and the place I was already trying to reach. Everyone I know that does not use the Reddit app will type Reddit after their question on Google. It bypasses any result Google recommends. Another way I look at it is as a systems problem. Value flows from origin and not from distribution. Reddit is the origin. It generates the raw material that everyone else wants to organize, which is authentic human interaction with all the nuance and disagreement that comes with it. When you own the origin, you do not need to negotiate for better placement in someone elses system. You let their system become dependent on yours. That is what is happening now with language models. And from my own point of view as someone who thinks about long term leverage, data licensing is just a bad trade. It feels like revenue, but what you are really doing is selling a permanent asset for a temporary payment and using that payment to train your replacement. Even if it is $100m, it is small compared to what the core business can do. If you have the only place on the internet where real people still talk like real people, you do not export it, you protect it. Where I think the real opportunity is gets overlooked. First is direct targeting at the subreddit level. Instead of generic advertising, this is high intent inside a self selected community. If I am in r home lab, r mechanical keyboards, r personal finance, I am already telling you exactly what I care about and what I am about to buy. You do not need to infer intent from search history. The intent is stated. That is insanely valuable for advertisers and Reddit has barely started to price it correctly. Second is international expansion. Most of the world has not experienced Reddit yet in their native language. Machine translation is finally good enough to make the entire archive of authentic conversation usable globally without breaking the community structure. That is a second Reddit waiting to be built on top of the first one, with the same playbook and almost no extra content cost. That is where you get real user growth and real ad load growth.

J. Armin Meister (The Artsy Nurse) (@JArminMeister) reportedBefore letting someone’s comments on Reddit, X, BS, Discord, etc get you down, remember that these are the same kind of comments that come out of your mouth when you’re driving and someone cuts you off or is moving too slow for no obvious reason. Pay them no mind. They’re only saying what they are because there’s no consequences to them.

Naveen (@thewidellens_) reportedA resource does not stay free because it has no value. It stays free because nobody with leverage has yet decided it is worth pricing. Three very different organizations just proved this in three very different ways this year. Value and price are not the same thing. Community discussions, curated knowledge, technical documentation, all of it can carry enormous value while carrying a price of zero, simply because nobody built a mechanism to extract that value at scale before now. A new extraction mechanism changes the equation regardless of what the owner does. AI systems consume content at a scale nothing before them could, so content too diffuse to ever bother pricing suddenly aggregates into something genuinely valuable in bulk. The content did not change. The economics around it did. Rising demand creates leverage, but only for whoever acts on it first. Reddit blocked AI crawlers from its entire domain the same week it joined the S&P 500, converting an assumption into a negotiated asset overnight. Wikipedia, a nonprofit funded by donations, signed paid Enterprise licensing deals with Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Perplexity in January, after bot traffic drove its bandwidth costs up 50 percent, bots responsible for 65 percent of its most expensive server requests. Even a mission driven organization recognized the same leverage. News publishers show the scale in dollars, OpenAIs licensing deal with News Corp alone is reported at 250 million dollars over five years. Stack Overflow shows what happens when you wait. Its question volume collapsed from 200,000 a month in 2014 to 50,000 by late 2025, as developers simply asked AI models instead. It had to rebuild its entire business model after the fact, far more painful than a single configuration file, because it reacted only once the value had already left. One honest caveat, no single publisher holds dominant leverage, even the largest deals number in single digits, AI companies are deliberately spreading their sourcing. The leverage is real, it is not unlimited. If your organization sits on content it has never priced, that silence is a decision, made by default, and the value does not stay available to claim indefinitely.

Levi the tax collector (@ClowLevi) reported@FiftyFootNest Pretty much true. There is a Reddit post from an Ontario family doctor that outlines the payment schedule family docs get based on their visits. My family doc wants me to see him like 10 times this year to discuss my 3 major issues that I also have a specialist I see for.

Mohammed Ibrahim Khan H (@0x1brahim) reportedGot banned on Reddit (about half of my posts removed)... The 🤯 part: the posts where I explicitly self-promoted are still up, while the ones taken down were just me sharing my exact study method. (I literally used @examinteligence to study for my own exams)
