Filthy Pink Skins (@TIger598197) reported@TheSaltyKing47 you tried to cite ai aggregation of reddit posts to say paul tassi wasnt credible LOL I asked for articles or industry officials saying that. You had trouble understanding how budget estimations work. Even posted independent(of me) budget estimation. You dont know sourcing

Jacob Klug (@Jacobsklug) reportedThis Reddit post just went viral. 1,800+ upvotes. And it's the exact problem I see every week. The app works. Users are happy. Revenue is coming in. But the repo is untouchable. Duplicate functions. No structure. Touching one thing breaks something unrelated. This is what happens when you use AI without architecture. They don't think about what comes next. They add files, duplicate logic, solve the same problem three different ways. Not because the tools are bad. Because nobody gave them a system to build inside. The fix isn't "stop vibe coding." It's: → Define your data model before you prompt → Use a design system so the AI stays consistent → Build in modules, not one giant tangled app → Refactor every 2 weeks, not every 6 months We've rebuilt 250+ apps at Creme that started exactly like this. The rewrite is always more expensive than doing it right the first time. Vibe coding without architecture isn't building. It's accumulating debt.

Neco The Sergal (@NecotheSergal) reported@Pirat_Nation Google itself is a broken mess but now they're relying on it's broken *** algorithm 'and' Redditor opinions? Really? lmao. 'Reddit Experts'. The only thing redditors are experts on is bitching and finding things to be offended about.

Rick Decker (@1750agreed) reportedHey @TheSpoilerGirl Please read this from our dear friends at Reddit: "Steffy is a hypocritical male-centered pick me according to you Hope should shut up and deal with whatever you give her with no problem because she's lucky to have HFTF and even be in the building." Part one

Anubhav (@Anubhavhing) reportedthe number that actually matters : 3,000 downloads per month one founder got there in 9 months two people full time, one part time here is how they think about the stages : month 1 to 3 : Reddit comments, ASO, first SEO pages indexed month 3 to 6 : double down on what moved the needle, ignore everything else month 6 to 9 : SEO starts compounding, community trust starts building month 9+ : optimize conversion and retention, you now have enough volume for the numbers to matter the 0 to 10K MRR in one month stories on Twitter are not real this is what real looks like.

egirlian 🌸 (@egirlian) reportedoh cool, so there’s a new reddit virus, can we please not shut down civilization again because heckin good people suddenly care oh-so-much about their self-diagnosed immunocompromisation
-
Ken Savage (@kensavage) reportedEvery new client asks the same thing: "How fast will this work?" My answer is always the same: 60 to 90 days. Not because I'm slow. Because AI models need time to crawl, index, and trust your Reddit presence. I've run this for 40+ brands. The ones who commit for 90 days see results. The ones who quit at 30 always say "Reddit doesn't work." It works. You just have to outlast your impatience.

🇬🇧 Quiet Wealth | UK Investor (@QuietWealth_UK) reportedInteresting graphic from reddit, A £1,000 pay rise in the UK. Below £50,270 threshold: Take home = £630 Above £50,270 threshold: Take home = £490 You got a pay rise and took home £140 LESS. The fix? Salary sacrifice your pension contributions above the threshold. Reduce your gross salary back below £50,270, keep the full take-home, build your pension. The UK tax system punishes earned income. Learn the rules or it punishes you

Eshan (@eshanbuilds) reported@Pirat_Nation google spent 20 years building pagerank to surface authoritative sources over random opinions. now they're embedding anonymous reddit comments directly in search results and calling it "expert advice." a reddit user with 12 karma giving camera settings is not an expert. it's a person who posted once. the deeper problem is reddit already knows this is happening and the incentive structure has shifted. subreddits are filling with SEO-optimized comments designed to appear in google's AI answers. you're watching the glorbo problem move from AI-generated articles into AI-curated user content. the noise just got promoted to the front page

Gregorios Autodidaktos ☦️🇵🇸 (@Masihi_Malabari) reported@PorkiShikari @ss17321_s @IndoKatholic I mean I could ask you the same question. Funny how Hindoos turn into reddit tier atheists trotting out the tired old problem of evil. And the answer to that is not that God's impotent but that he's not obligated to stop any suffering, because God's not the sort of thing that can be considered a moral agent on classical theism. Yawn. If your gods are so powerful why is India a ********?

Piglet (@Sillymops) reported@LewisSwiftie She doesn’t even have the power to bring down her snark Reddit page. Ticketmaster had 3 billion dollars in revenue last year. Female celebrity power is actually pretty powerless.

Mathgeek, of Bardic Influence (@Mathgeek007) reported@Corey_Yanofsky @merryweather201 @mobocks I eat humble pie, the reddit mods are dumb as a sack of bricks and need to fix their rules if they're banning soliciting as nowhere is that banned or even implied to be banned.

Taiwo Oladosu (@TaiTechSolution) reported@WorkWomp @tibo_maker That’s exactly why you’re stuck you’re in the “everyone posts, nobody cares” subreddits. Job search + career subs are a completely different game. They’re strict because users are sensitive, not because Reddit is against you. If your content feels even slightly like promotion, it gets killed instantly. This is actually where most founders mess up — wrong communities + wrong entry approach. If you want, I can help you fix that properly. What I do is: position your product inside existing conversations (not random posts) identify threads where people are already struggling with job search problems structure responses so they don’t get removed but still drive interest and build enough trust on the account so your posts stop getting auto-filtered That way you’re not fighting the rules, you’re working with how Reddit actually distributes visibility. If you’re serious about using Reddit as a channel, we can set up a small trial and get you traction without risking another ban.

RobinHood (@PropRobbinHood) reported@Jeremybtc The craziest thing about it was on Reddit they were posting about how it had no ev powertrain and they pushed it down a hill a year before the news went mainstream and the stock tanked

Wasim (@WasimShips) reportedThis Reddit user made $412k in 3 years and walked away with $0 Here's the honest breakdown every founder needs to see: 1/ What it cost to run > infrastructure and tools: $67,000 (AWS, Stripe, subscriptions) > contractor dev work: $134,000 (no cofounder, outsourced everything) > marketing experiments: $48,000 (ads, agencies, content plays) > legal and accounting: $23,000 (incorporation, contracts, taxes) > his own living expenses: $140,000 (~$3,900/month for 3 years) 2/ Why he shut it down > peak MRR hit $18k. then the ceiling became visible. > breaking through required capital he didn't want to raise > for a market he wasn't excited about anymore > so he shut it down cleanly. helped every customer migrate. no bridges burned. 3/ What he actually walked away with > 3 years of operator-level learning you can't buy anywhere > customers who still remember him and reach out > a portfolio piece that kept opening doors

Kazuma (@Kazumastatics) reportedthe headline you should write next isn't in your head it's in the data reviews on amazon and your shopify store reddit threads where people complain about the problem youtube comment sections under similar product videos forums and facebook groups in your niche quora answers from people experiencing the pain mine all of it for the exact phrases people repeat that's your headline if you only read your own reviews, you're talking to existing customers the avatar you haven't sold to yet is talking somewhere else

Booby_Hill (@Booby_Hill69) reported@dyingscribe Ads dont work as well on men. Better ROI to appeal to women. Thats the core of so many issues. Women be shoppin, so all our media and commerce is built to appeal to them. Thats why wesbites like reddit, IG, or YT would never ban any femosphere content, advertisers would hate it

Asad Al-Jabane (@AsadAljabane) reported@mscode07 Gotta do both for maximum results. 💪 Problem with X is nobody really cares but it's less moderated. Problem is reddit is people are more likely to care but it's heavily moderated.

Don't go there (@moderateright13) reported@Callystarr @Suzierizzo1 Baltimore City's education system faces severe, systemic failures with dozens of schools reporting zero or near-zero math proficiency, significant infrastructure neglect, and high student absenteeism, according to findings discussed on Reddit. As of 2025, some high schools have gone four consecutive years without a single student testing proficient in math. Key issues highlighting the severity of the situation include: Low Proficiency Rates: In 2023, it was reported that 23 Baltimore schools, including 10 high schools, had zero students proficient in math. Declining Graduation Rates: Baltimore ranks near the bottom of high school graduation rates in the nation. In 2024, it was reported that less than half (40.8%) of Baltimore City Schools' ninth graders were on track to graduate. Poor Infrastructure: A Johns Hopkins study cited by WBFF found that roughly 50 school buildings are in disrepair, leading to over 1.5 million hours of lost class time over four years due to maintenance issues. Grade Inflation/Promotion: Thousands of students with significant absences are still being promoted to the next grade level. Chronic Absenteeism: In some schools, a high number of students miss a third of the school year, as reported in this YouTube video.

pisskum (@PissKum) reported@Whatadayindeed @footsweatlickr @iamnopilot The projection is on max here. Must’ve pushed a button or two, because you are accusing everyone here of exactly what you are doing. Conflating the issue to one Reddit post when there are millions of posts all over the internet about the topic of **********. Keep chudding

Mako Fukasame 🦈👩🏫 | Vershion AU (@MakoFukasame) reported@freyaguma Yeah it's frustrating as hell to need a quick answer to something, get blocked by this popup, type in old reddit in the address, reload and then zoom in to try and read the thread properly with broken formatting
