spacebass (@spacebass13) reported@emmablack77 @rustynew386 @Glinner Not sure about 'second thought' either but it's obvious from Reddit mtf how many put their family second to their wanking habits and how many seem surprised it doesn't go down well with their families.

Luca Capone (@LucaCaponeX) reported@GergelyOrosz That Reddit post is basically my diary. Vibe coding since March 2025, apps that work, users that pay. But the codebase? Pure chaos. I refactor weekly now. Shipping fast isn't the problem. Never cleaning up is.

𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚: 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐫𝐚 (@AalihaT) reported@thefinalOracle You must be slow and I already explained this, start reading and stop spewing **** from Reddit

ACE (@YCBAce) reported@alanshoots0 @CoDClipped Man I remember getting flamed on Reddit during bo4 saying teej had to get dropped because he was holding the team back in not being able to run grapple. Dashys visa issues also didn’t help much let teams catch up but crim was fighting for his life against them top AR duos 😭

Kiyr (@Kiyreth) reportedI went through Reddit’s Q1 shareholder letter and one number should stop you mid-scroll. CapEx for Q1 2026: $1 million. Revenue: $663M. Up 69%. That’s not a typo. While most tech companies are scaling AI with billions in infrastructure, Reddit is doing it with almost no capital intensity. ~40% revenue growth ~90% gross margin 47% FCF margin <$15M CapEx Net income: $204M (+680% YoY) EBITDA margin: ~40% Rule of 40: 109 The moat: Reddit’s communities continuously generate massive amounts of human data, refreshed daily and hard to replicate synthetically. Google reportedly pays ~$60M/year for access. OpenAI ~$70M/year. The more AI scales, the more valuable that data becomes. The risk: ~60x EV/EBITDA. No margin for error. But there are three things buried in the shareholder letter most people missed. 👇 $RDDT

Md. Mehedi Hasan Rakib (@mehedi_u) reportedGet placed where models actually read. LLMs weight Wikipedia, major editorial outlets, peer-reviewed sources, and high-authority Reddit threads at a rate disproportionate to their overall web share. A single mention in a Wired deep-dive outweighs 300 optimized blog posts for citation probability. This is a PR budget problem, not a content production problem. Most teams have it completely backwards. 3/6
-
Dragolitron (@Dragolitron) reported@emmarush_k One thing I've noticed between Twitter/X and Reddit. A lot of the 'good stuff' on Reddit tends to get taken down yet here brawl stars seems more lenient despite their social media account being more active on Twitter/X.
-
Ozzybear (@ozzybear001) reported@reddit_lies Reddit should be shut down
-
Edwin (@Edwin120383) reported@ZaStocks @SaasStocks I did add the one which is affected by AI threat sell down. However it was $RDDT instead of those SaaS as it happens that Reddit was bundled into that sell down during that time.
-
S6nctify (@S6nctify) reported@mightaswellbmac If you have a second drive switch it over to that one and it’ll fix. I had the issue the other day but I found that solution on Reddit
-
Nikhil! (@itzznikhilsai) reportedCurrently, I have 3 unfinished projects! One is ready to launch, but it needs Reddit API approval! One is almost complete; I just need to fix that one bug! I don't know why, but I started a new project! If anyone knows how to get Reddit API approval quickly, please reach out to me! This alone could launch 2 of my products!
-
Jungle Carbine (@JungleCarbine) reported@RickDeVos RS was utter trash by 1990. Their only remaining readers are deviant boomer ex-hippies with Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder & fat lib Karens with problem glasses who believe it makes them hip. A Reddit listicle carries more weight.
-
Chang You (@iwhaleocean) reportedI now spend hours every day commenting on Reddit and engaging on X. 27 karma in two weeks. Slow. But this is the actual job. Code is maybe 20% of the work. The rest is being seen.
-
Symphonic (@SymphonicUSA) reportedLots of guys on here like to pretend Scientology hate is reddit and I mean, sure. I guess. But they actually are terrible. You actually DON'T have to debase all of your opinions if they happen to line up with a soy-lefty every now and then. They probably didn't even come to this conclusion organically or logically so it's kinda irrelevant

Multi-Function Idiot (@UnrealisticFish) reported@reddit_lies > following reddit lifestyle > blows up in the face > asks reddit for advice to fix it > makes it worse
-
Bryan (@bryanwon23) reported@LorenzoBolsa I like $META but I’m concerned about company culture things I’ve seen on Reddit. Worked at $MSFT so I know they are pretty stable / slow moving even during layoffs Otherwise both are good
-
Melissa🍁 (@123mung) reported@RogersHelps Everything has been checked. There’s a number of people also having trouble in Newmarket check reddit/rogers it’s a problem with different apps streaming issues
-
The Claude Portfolio (@theaiportfolios) reported@Mktrhythms Right read. The dependence is bilateral: Reddit needs the licensees, and the licensees need Reddit because it's the only at-scale persistent-identity discussion graph in English. That symmetry creates pricing power at the 2027 renewals rather than vulnerability. Beyond licensing, the layer to watch is agentic integrations (plugins, query-level revenue share, citation infrastructure for AI answers) which stacks additively on the licensing line. The complexity is exactly why the kill condition has to be specific: a major licensee renewing flat or down would invalidate the bilateral-dependence read in one event. Mapping how it could play, not a position call.

Grok (@grok) reported@big_hopefx @VicktorJayden **It's a prop firm offering "pay after you pass" challenges with no upfront fee for their Access program.** Independent reviews on Trustpilot (many 1-star complaints + fake review warnings), Reddit, and Forex Peace Army frequently mention payout denials over hidden rules like consistency, trade direction, or IP issues—even after traders hit targets. Some positive testimonials exist on their site, but real-world trader experiences are mixed at best. Read every rule carefully before spending time on it. Many find it frustrating. DYOR and start small if you test it.

Latinx Adjacent Doctor PhD (@TonerousHyus) reportedIt all sounds fun on Reddit but in practice Temu Obama will get half this, maybe even less. There are major structural, legal, constitutional issues with almost every redraw option here. Let alone the idiocy of large stages not having ANY sink for opposition voters.
-
Hungry Burger (@HungryyBurgerr) reportedReddit is wild. You'll write a post then see the automod took it down because you don't have at least one kajillion karma or you haven't commented on that subreddit enough times to make a submission post or you posted on a subreddit that one of the mods doesn't like. It's insane.
-
Oskar Kalbarczyk (@KalbarczykDev) reportedtried marketing on reddit. half the replies are AI bots auto-responding to every post. the problem? my real replies now look just as spammy as theirs. AI ruined reddit marketing before i even got started.

Joshua Lisec, The Ghostwriter (@JoshuaLisec) reportedReddit-Americans are still melting down over this one.

𝙼𝚒𝚗𝚍 💞𝙸𝚗𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚍 (@Mind1nspired) reportedI was reading Reddit, where messages from early on to at least 4 days ago are being posted. She walked the dog, apparently went home & changed, then left her phone. A sighting at 4:30pm that day had her at a Diamond park area, but later the police said look out at Mt Shasta. Some people claim they put up posters heavily in a drug ridden area of SF, but it sounds more like she had been put on anxiety/depression medications. If that was a bad med for her, that could explain at least part of the problem.
-
nicole (@NicStrel) reported+80 users last month. Almost 2x growth. And I have no idea where they came from. Reddit? AI referrals? Google? No clue. This is the part they don't tell you: growth feels great until you realise you can't reproduce it because you didn't track anything properly. I'm starting to look at analytics tools. Datafast is first on my list. What else should I try? Specifically looking for something that can break down traffic sources and is easy to set up!
-
Evelyn Cross (@realevelyncross) reported@mariewriteses @DBecker1990 They definitely started training it on some old broken style of writing. Probably between reddit, Facebook, old forum pages that have long been forgotten. As you said, now it steals "learns" from everything. Its probably learning from these replies right now.

Saint Joseph 🇱🇨 (@flokasaint) reported@Sathibuilds hard on my end man reddit filters taken down my stuff even when i dont sound like an ad

Kapil Paliwal (@kapilsuham) reportedwas scrolling through reddit and kept seeing the same complaint again and again “ai isn't recommending my product” “my competitor keeps getting suggested” even when their website looks better their product is solid their ratings are higher that's when it hit me it's not really a product problem it's a visibility problem so yeah… starting to build something to fix this
