TheCriticalEducator (@TheCriticalEDU) reported@educator4ever36 Left or right i simply dont care, kids need to learn, end of the story. Also tired of all the blame game by reddit armchair educators, less talking, more problem solving please.

Merlin Hermes 📖 (@Sahil96011761) reported@PraiseTheFoo1 @Hollow_Monocle0 I don't know about SS but currently the main reason Lotm fandom doesn't like RI and looks down on them is because RI fans on reddit pro gen AI and they are even making arts and videos using AI while Lotm fandom is very dominant Anti AI on reddit.

Brother TCUN (@brothermichigan) reported@SynthPotato @GuntasSinghIN The only reason there aren't hundreds of Reddit posts about issues with NVIDIA cards is because r/nvidia just deletes them all. Keep in mind that this is the same NVIDIA that had people warning users away from an entire series of drivers for issues just months ago.

Brutal Truth (@NicholastheWise) reported@ObviousRises I follow my alma mater's reddit thread. About a month ago someone was complaining they came across a guy in the library with his pants down to his knees jerking off.

Shaun Eng (@shauneng) reported@ecomstudent_ Well I wouldn't launch CPG without R&D or custom formula now Butttt I'm looking at it from the POV of what problems I can solve Finding big desires that already exist. For example getting girls is always going to be around, being more masculine Hence all these shilajit, testosterone booster supps stores keep spawning despite selling same **** Say you tap into one big desire. Look into the niche, right? Let's say you look around niches on Reddit, for example. What problems constantly pop up? Then you actually look into that. The next step is how I'm actually gonna find a problem I'm actually passionate to solve, or a niche that I'm actually interested in, 'cause I already have something I'm interested in, not something that's totally unrelated. Then from there, there should be a bunch of problems, a bunch of issues already. From there, we narrow it down. In this problem, what are the current solutions? What people are using to solve it right now? What's the gap? You wanna look for underserved avatars or unique mechanisms. Underserved avatars can be, let's say, you stumble upon a Reddit about Black people having this specific problem that only they face, and the generic products out in the market don't solve for them. There could be a supplement for them there, or it can be the other way around, where everyone's having this one problem, but people haven't used this one product mechanism to solve it yet, where you come in there as well. Beyond that, it's much harder in CPG if you don't do any R&D and custom formulation. The easiest way to go in saturated markets is if you actually have better R&D and custom formulation. You can just come in and present a better mechanism to a broader audience and still win. That's the easiest way to go about it. The most important thing you need to think about when standing up from competitors is that you cannot just be better. You must be different.

Adolf Netanyahu (Goy) (@AdolfNetanyahu1) reported@reddit_lies This is probably the most based and honest take I’ve ever heard from a communist, and every issue he has is spot on coupled with the fact he genuinely doesn’t give a **** about consumerism. No wonder Reddit hates him. Look at the like to comment ratio.

Mike Leitner (@mikeleitnerde) reported@rynorhn Just to clear it up: the usage wir the abuse of codex 0% doesn’t stem from Theo. He only mentioned that it’s possible, which is well known and talked also on Reddit and here on x. The program Maria did on the base of this was just stupid, but she apologized and removed the project. It had no relation to Theo other than inspiring it by the post and it wasn’t added to t3code or part of it in anyway. Even the accusation that they removed the ux limit is not proven and countless users say, they aren’t affected. There only base that Theo did cause a removal of the 0% stuff is that tibo says that they need to rethink it if the people are abusing it. Neither did he confirm that it got removed, nor did he state that there was anything done around this issue.

Grey BTC (@greybtc) reportedHAS ROCKSTAR FINALLY FOUND CYBERLEEK? Cyberleek appears to have access to a real playable build of GTA 6, and Rockstar is reportedly still trying to identify who is behind it. The situation has gotten so bizarre that lawyers even showed up at the home of a Reddit user who had jokingly predicted the hack. Meanwhile, Cyberleek keeps releasing footage, pushing an anti-digital-games message, and hinting that bigger leaks could still be coming. The memecoin being promoted alongside the leaks is now down roughly 18% in 24 hours, with its market cap sitting around $15M. So what exactly are we watching here? A hacker cashing in, an activist fighting the gaming industry, or one of the strangest marketing campaigns ever? (This video contains no GTA 6 leaks or spoilers.) Full breakdown 👇

Steve (@Cybrog8o7) reported@MattMurdcock67 @IGN No I spent a few minutes on twitter and Reddit in the last few days I haven't seen anyone complain about that.I don't have any issues with JK Rowling or care if someone is considered transphobic. I also don't follow Harry Potter stuff but I thought Hogwarts legacy was great.

Toma (@thebadassdev) reportedIf you're stuck at $0 MRR, you're probably not talking to enough potential customers If you want to go from $0 to your first $100 MRR fast, start doing 1-on-1 outreach. > Go talk to your future customers > Go where they already hang out > Find people who have the problem you solve > DM them > Pitch your product And one of the best places to do that is Reddit. > Find the right communities > Find your potential customers > Start conversations > Pitch them I did this yesterday with someone who could use my tool.

Felix Howes📍⛓️ (@FelixHowes) reportedFirst post in a while. Expect more to come. KOLs are still the first thing every project asks for. I've lost count of the calls where a founder comes in with a marketing brief and it's basically one line: "we need KOLs." Not a strategy. Not a distribution plan. KOLs. It's the most requested service at @hypepartners by a mile and it's what most projects think marketing is. And I get it. You see other projects trending, you see the big accounts posting about them, and you assume that's the whole game. It's part of it. But how you engage KOLs matters more than most teams realise, and it should never be the only thing you're doing. So here's how I'd think about it. How to actually work with KOLs Most of the pain in this space comes from how deals are structured, not from the creators themselves. If an agency takes a percentage of your spend, your incentives are broken from day one. The more you spend, the more they make. They have zero reason to negotiate hard on your behalf, and every reason to inflate budgets. You will overpay and you'll never know by how much. If an agency only works from their own roster, you're not getting the best creators for your project. You're getting the creators they have deals with. That's their inventory problem being sold to you as a curated network. The right KOL for a DeFi protocol targeting sophisticated traders is not the same as the right KOL for a consumer app, and no fixed roster covers the whole market. Then there's hidden fees. Undisclosed margins baked into creator rates, "management fees" stacked on top, kickbacks from the KOLs themselves. If you can't see exactly what the creator is being paid versus what you're paying, walk away. The alternative is working with a neutral agency. One that isn't taking a cut of spend, isn't pushing a roster, and can analyse the entire market to find the creators that actually align with your project. That's how we run it at Hype: transparent rates, negotiate the best deals we can get, and pick from everyone, not just whoever we have a relationship with. It sounds obvious but it's shockingly rare. KOLs are one piece of a distribution strategy This is the bigger point. Even done perfectly, KOLs are one channel. If that's your whole plan, you are not doing the basics of cost efficient distribution. The projects doing distribution properly right now are stacking channels, and the common thread across the ones that work is UGC, not brand accounts. Reddit. Real community growth, not a brand account posting announcements into the void. Crypto Twitter is a bubble; Reddit is has a huge amount of crypto community discussion, and it's indexed heavily by Google and every AI model. Posts and comments from real users build karma and compound for years. A brand account gets ignored or nuked by mods. Users talking about you doesn't. Shortform video. TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts. This is how content is consumed now. And again: UGC massively outperforms brand accounts. A polished brand video does a fraction of the numbers that dozens of creators posting daily content will do. The algorithm doesn't care about your logo. It cares whether people watch, and new accounts are rewarded with better push to satisfy user dopamine. The play is volume. Hundreds of videos per month, at a cost per view that makes a single big KOL deal look mad. Putting it together Use KOLs for what they're good at: credibility, narrative, reaching a specific audience through a voice that the audience trusts. Pick them carefully, buy them transparently, work with someone neutral who can target the whole market. Then complement them with high-volume UGC distribution: Reddit communities, shortform video, a mix of real people making real content AND AI generated content. We've seen it with numerous clients now that AI SFV content outperforms a lot of real content. UGC is where massive views are found at a cost that is negligble when compared to KOLs, and it's the part almost everyone skips because it's harder than wiring money to ten influencers. KOLs get you trusted attention. UGC gets you major distribution. You need both, and most projects are missing half the opportunity.

Dr. Sal. K. (@DrSalK2050) reportedPattern I see in indie-hacker circles: a. Build a cool tool b. Launch on HN / X / Reddit c. Get a spike of signups d. Watch 75% vanish in week onereadsignal e. Conclude “marketing is broken” f. Start a new project The real issue: a. No clear activation event b. No friction audit from signup → value c. No retention loop built in from day one You don’t need a bigger launch. You need a better first 7 days. What’s the biggest drop-off point in your current onboarding? #IndieHackers #Onboarding #SaaS

The Lone Handmaid (@TheLoneHandmaid) reported@Sky18Sam But thats not only something women do. Men, also, fall for conspiracies and other false beliefs for similar reasons. They just don't tend to post about it on TikTok. You'll find a lot of male discussions of conspiracies and other false beliefs on Reddit and other online forums, including this one. Women just tend to be more active on Insta and TikTok. However, I do agree that social media is a problem all around.

Woke Salvation Front Sleeper Agent (@Hobsbawmunism) reported@linaposting I had trouble describing the feeling when I visited Denver but it really feels like that culture is institutionalized there, in contrast to being grafted onto/adopted by other cities of similar size. At the time I described it as "Reddit City", though I still hold by that name.

Ajit - Stocks | Business | AI | Tech | Geopolitics (@Anvayance) reported@sally_r2024 @TheWiseIC Every social media is an echo chamber. An echo chamber is a great way to retain user and their screen time. Besides an echo chamber, reddit is also the stackoverflow of general problems where people ask and answer questions from their experience. That part of reddit has very little to do with being an echo chamber. Modern ai labs need these original human inputs and insights to keep their bots sharp and updated on new issues and problems.

Vishnu Ravi (@vishnu606) reportedHow many solo founders here have had their Reddit account restricted? It happened to me while I was using Reddit to learn, talk to users and understand problems. If it happened to you too, what did you do next? New account, appeal, or move to another channel?

André Beaumont (@andrebeaumont) reported>"like it can't be fixed :)" >bro thinks shipping a privilege escalation as default is same as a typo in css >gets told to do the PR himself if it's so easy >"13yo response bro just relax bro take a dab bro life goes on" textbook reddit midwit thinking He thinks "fixable" = "not a big deal". By that logic nothing is ever a big deal because everything is fixable after you get *****. House burns down? Fixable bro just rebuild. Your distro gives every user instant root and any malware instantly owns the box? Fixable bro chill. >“if i WAS hostile towards you, that could be fixed too. Chill. You're not in danger." >***** what? That's not chill that's just creepy passive aggressive stoner psychopath talk Negligence AT the privilege boundary IS hostility. Intent doesn't matter. You left the vault door open and gave everyone a master key, you ARE hostile to your users' security whether you meant to be or not. That's sec101.

John.Barba4.com (@jbarba4) reported@hridoyreh The performance overhead required to get anything done on Reddit is insane. Between navigating irrational rules, crafting well tuned fake stories, carefully not mentioning what you actually want or do directly, and then ultimately getting taken down or banned... hard to justify.

Christian (@InTheTrenchesUK) reportedTHE ENERGY THEATRE Miatta Fahnbulleh wants to give families "breathing space" this winter. How generous. How timely. How utterly insulting. Her government created the suffocation. The Climate Change Act 2008 championed by her Labour predecessors locked Britain into net zero mandates that tripled energy costs. The net zero policies she votes for shut down coal plants, blocked North Sea drilling, and made Britain dependent on foreign gas. The "green levies" on bills fund renewable subsidies while pensioners freeze. Labour promised £300 off energy bills. They delivered record highs. They suppressed documents showing their net zero agenda would bankrupt families. They racked up air miles lecturing the world while British workers couldn't afford to heat their homes. Now the Energy Secretary wants an AMA. A Reddit chat. A PR stunt while the meters tick and the debt mounts. She wants questions about energy bills from families her party betrayed. Here's a question: Why doesn't she repeal the Climate Change Act? Why doesn't she unleash North Sea oil? Why doesn't she tell the net zero lobbyists to fund their own fantasies instead of raiding British bill-payers? Miatta Fahnbulleh doesn't need an AMA. She needs a mirror. A long hard look at the party that turned energy security into energy poverty. The party that closed power stations and opened food banks. The party that cares more about climate conferences than cold constituents. Breathing space? Families are drowning. And Miatta Fahnbulleh is holding the net zero anchor.

Benjamin Freeman (@cryptolightshow) reportedI won't dive in here about why peptides are often derided by medical professionals, however, I do want to share my anecdotal success. After getting real results from oral BPC-157 on bilateral rotator cuff tears (with zero PT) I wanted something cleaner than Reddit protocols. Something that: • Puts foundations first • Gives realistic evidence framing • Includes actual dosing/reconstitution guidance • Forces tracking so you can see if it’s working Two years ago this month, I was suffering from multiple broken ribs and torn rotator cuffs in both shoulders.
