YellowArtPone🎬✏️ (@YellowArtPone) reported@justbarkindo @SixerMerchant @SeriouslySodium Aaah it may be some rendering issue, I forget exactly what it was I’m not at my PC, but google something along the lines of “image not showing as grease pencil object in blender” I found a solution through Reddit. Really sorry I don’t have the full fix rn

Brian McCormick (@bjmtweets) reportedGoogle has to make their product worse, and against user intent, to stop showing $RDDT results 1. Reddit produces unique highly valued content on the web 2. Google is the search engine of choice because they put the highest valued content at the top 3. Reddit content is so desired by users adding the term "Reddit" to the end of a search is a top term for nearly every popular search phrase. There is no comparison to another platform appearing as a popular query in Google. Nobody is searching "xyz tips Facebook" or "xyz tips NYT" at scale. They are searching "xyz tips Reddit". See screenshot. Do this for any query. Reddit is there. When you search for "reddit" in your query, Google has really no choice but to show Reddit results first. Google does control their platform. And they can do things that harm or help Reddit's results, however, users will push back, by directly querying for "reddit". Reddit is also building their direct moat by forcing App downloads. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram all originally allowed people to scroll without logging in. They eventually forced users to download and use their apps or login. Reddit is now, after 20 years, finally doing the same. Reddit is the 6th most popular website on the web, the users are already there, it is Lindy, and the communities are going to be sticking around.

Master (@Selaphielll_) reported@HaijakkY2K It's not just about human/forerunners, it's about retcon on top of retcon, and how 343 is terrible at world contruction. And it all reflects on how soulless their games are. No wonder you interpret things in the most moronic and literal way possible, you are mod at reddit.

Starling (@L3la18) reported@ax_angelo I imagine that something like this would actually be emotionally devastating. Why? Just think of what happened when ChatGPT 4o was discontinued, people were actually heartbroken because a model they were attached to ceased being profitable for OpenAI. A lovebot would probably face the same issues. Her personality wouldn't stay consistent with her updates. People lose their **** when YouTube or Reddit get updates, imagine your companion suddenly feeling off because of an update. Her memory gets fried, or she forgets important things about you. That's likely a realistic outlook.

Zack Chao (@ZackSeeker) reportedSaw a Reddit post today from someone looking for a simple browser-based spending tracker. They didn’t want bank sync. They were fine entering purchases manually. They just wanted something simpler than Excel. That’s almost exactly the tradeoff I’m building Matrix Ledger around. Manual expense tracking isn’t necessarily the problem. Spreadsheet-style entry is. Matrix Ledger keeps the intentional act of logging your own spending, but lets you describe purchases naturally and turns them into structured entries automatically. Reduce logging friction, not spending awareness.

Russian Market (@runews) reportedWhy the GTA 6 Leaks Suddenly Matter Rockstar and parent Take-Two are responding exactly like the big brothers: mass DMCA notices, takedowns across YouTube, X, and Reddit, server pressure. The videos vanish, then reappear on mirrors, then get hosted decentrally. Classic cat-and-mouse. The interesting part is not the content of the clips. The interesting part is the panic. Because just like with Apple and Bond, this shows the real product: control over the narrative. Whoever owns the story owns the market. Lose that control and you lose billions in attention, hype, and pre-order revenue.

ecomvillain (@ecomvillainx) reportedIf I had to research an e-commerce product from scratch, I would NOT start by writing ads. I’d build a customer intelligence document first. Here’s the process: Step 1: Find customer conversations Search: → Amazon reviews → Reddit threads → TikTok comments → YouTube comments → competitor reviews → niche forums Step 2: Extract exact phrases Don’t summarize everything. Save the language customers actually use. Step 3: Categorize it Create five buckets: PAINS DESIRES OBJECTIONS OUTCOMES PHRASES Step 4: Look for repetition One complaint means little. The same complaint appearing repeatedly is interesting. Step 5: Turn patterns into angles Repeated pain → problem angle Repeated desire → outcome angle Repeated skepticism → objection angle Research first. Copy second. Reply “RESEARCH” and I’ll send you the Customer Language Bank template.

Chirag Kulkarni (@chiraggkulkarni) reportedEveryone is saying OpenAI wiped off Reddit’s visibility in ChatGPT. Maybe. But I think there could be another reason. I’ve been using Reddit as part of AI search strategies across multiple clients, so I’ve been watching what happens to these posts long before the August news cycle. And the pattern I saw was pretty clear: Reddit was already getting much more aggressive about removing the kind of content that was getting picked up in AI answers. For example, on one period-care client, roughly 80% of the seeded comments from non-branded accounts were being deleted over a 3–4 month period. I saw the same thing across other clients between November 2025 and May 2026: high-karma accounts getting flagged, promotional comments getting removed, and previously reliable posting flows breaking down. Now look at @promptwatch's data. > August 8: Reddit citation share fell from the high 3s to the mid 2s. > August 14: it fell again from the mid 2s to under 1%. The first drop lines up with the change in ChatGPT’s query fanout. But Promptwatch doesn’t really explain the second drop. So there may be two things happening at once. 1. Reddit has been tightening its own moderation for months, removing more of the content that made it useful as an AI citation source. 2. OpenAI changed how ChatGPT retrieves sources, which clearly explains part of the August decline. I don't know how much of the total decline belongs to each. But the Reddit-side decline wasn't something I discovered after the August news. I was seeing it across multiple clients months earlier. If Reddit keeps removing the content that made it citable in the first place, its AI visibility could keep falling regardless of what OpenAI does next. I am not saying that Reddit is dead. Just saying that the August drop may not be the whole story.

vøv △ (@vovweb3) reportedRobinhood tried to delete this footage from the internet. In 2019, a broke 20-year-old typed a 4-step loop into his phone and printed $1,000,000+ out of absolute zero. No hacking. No insider info. Just a raw glitch in Wall Street's core code that unlocked infinite leverage. Watch this: 00:22 -how a Reddit user discovered a literal "infinite leverage" glitch inside the world's biggest trading app. 04:03 -the terrifying moment he YOLOs $50,000 in fake money on Apple short contracts using just a $2,000 deposit. 05:07 - his portfolio evaporates into massive debt live on screen (the legendary "GUH" moment). 06:57 - things escalate: another trader uses the glitch to unlock a $1,000,000 position from just $4k. 09:09 - the exact math breakdown of the 4-step options loop that fooled the algorithm. The global financial system isn't as bulletproof as they pretend. It's just lines of code - and code always breaks. Full breakdown on the biggest exploit in retail trading history below 👇

Jimmy Davis (@LeblancRouge) reportedReddit banned me for LIFE for acknowledging biology too many times (twice). Sad because “culture war” issues are less than 1% of what I do on there. All the e-friends I made there through mutual hobbies will probably think I died and took my secret fishing spots to the grave.

No the men are not gay. Yes I'm sure that they aren't gay. No, the husbands aren't cheating, low libido truly exist. Yes, I'm triple sure they aren't gay. They stay because of love, same reason For the fourth time, they are not gay. Testosterone may be they issue, which women are aware of Fine, they may be secretly gay, okay?

Diyanshu Patel (@diyanshu0360) reportedIn 12 months, "are we cited in ChatGPT?" will be a normal line in B2B marketing reports. Most teams will scramble to fix it then. The ones who win it are quietly building their Reddit presence right now. Boring today. Unfair advantage tomorrow.

Michael (@mkmore4) reported@GreenTextRepost It sucks so bad that Reddit is heavily censored. It’d be a great site if it weren’t. It has user base, a forum for every niche subject you can imagine, but if you aren’t a totally buck broken homo, they boot you.

Max | Google Ads (@lifemaximised) reportedHow to conduct your ENTIRE Google Ads research operation inside Claude Opus 5: (4 prompts, roughly 30 minutes, and you'll have research most agencies charge $5k for) First, the part everyone skips and the reason their AI output is useless: Create a Claude Project. Select Opus 5. Upload your product pages, customer reviews, search terms report, competitor URLs, performance exports, and brand guidelines Opus 5 has a 1M token context window. FILL IT Garbage context produces confident garbage strategy Prompt 1: the brand brain "Act as the Google Ads strategy brain for this brand. Read all uploaded context and build a working brand profile covering ICP, core pain points, buying triggers, objections, the emotional language customers use, top products, strongest offers, competitor positioning, and current funnel gaps. Do not make recommendations yet. Summarise the context first, then tell me what critical information is missing." That last sentence is the whole trick. Forcing it to ask what's missing surfaces the gaps in YOUR thinking Save the output. Re-upload it as a file. Now you never re-explain your business again Prompt 2: customer language mining "Search Reddit, YouTube comments, Amazon reviews, and niche forums for people discussing problems related to [PRODUCT CATEGORY]. Extract the exact words they use describing the problem, what they've tried, why it failed, and what would make them buy. Format as: Quote / Pain Point / Desired Outcome / Funnel Stage / Ad Angle. Give me 25 rows." Keyword tools show you what people TYPE This shows you what people FEEL "I'm tired of wasting money on supplements doing nothing" is an ad headline sitting fully formed in a Reddit thread Prompt 3: competitor angle map "Research [COMPETITOR 1, 2, 3] using Google Ads Transparency Center, Meta Ad Library, their landing pages, offers, and guarantees. Build a table showing offer, main promise, ad hooks, landing page angle, proof used, objections handled, and what they are NOT saying." 3 competitors running the same hook means the market validated it. Take the angle Nobody running an angle your customer research surfaced means white space. Own it Prompt 4: the keyword universe "Using the customer language and competitor research above, build a complete keyword universe. Split into branded, competitor, high-intent product, problem-aware, solution-aware, comparison, ingredient, use-case, and negative keywords. For each include funnel stage, intent level, match type, campaign assignment, and landing page angle." Then: "Prioritise this into a 30-day launch plan. Flag any keyword that is high volume but low commercial intent." That last line is what stops your account becoming a keyword dump (DM me "CLAUDE" if you want us to run this whole system for your brand)

CmdrDevonKramer (@CmdrDevonVtuber) reportedA study from a while back put the demographic at about 82% men. So what is going on with some of these women? There are plenty of legit disgusting criminal men out there and companies that hired them. That part is real. But a lot of these low effort V-tweeters barely stream, never post videos, and do not even show up consistently. Their claim that male streamers do not belong is one of the weakest arguments I have seen. It happens every year. A bunch of them get riled up when male creators start rising. Things are getting fixed and they act like their whole world is ending just because men are in the scene. These are not real VTubers. They are V-tweeters/VT who think top linking someone on Twitch will give them a positive image, only to get chased down by bigger creators. When these slop accounts finally figure it out, the Reddit crowd of V-tweeters is going to have a field day. They do not like this shift. And if you are limiting yourself to Twitch alone for streaming, what the hell are you doing with your life?

John (@hello_code_) reportedMost brands don’t have an AI visibility problem. They have a being worth mentioning problem. You can optimize prompts, citations, Reddit, schema, whatever. But if nobody talks about you, recommends you, or trusts you, AI has very little reason to either. GEO starts with being worth recommending.

Accrued Interest (@accrued_int) reported@bjmtweets @bjmtweets I'm sorry but this is cope. Reddit being cited less by Google and OpenAI is a legit problem u can't ignore. Can the stock still go up, sure - but creative storytelling is textbook thesis drift. $GOOGL was supposed to pay $RDDT big increases for the AI training data...you have to lower the price target no?

Sami | SEO AI (@samigrows) reportedAI search just had its biggest shake-up of 2026, and most brands have no idea. Between August 9-18, ChatGPT's share of answers citing Reddit dropped from 13.0% to 2.2%. An 83% collapse in just 9 days. Meanwhile, every other engine moved the opposite direction: The Shift: AI Overviews: 14.2% → 17.8% (+26%) AI Mode: 12.4% → 16.4% (+32%) Perplexity: 8.7% → 9.2% (+6%) Gemini: 2.9% → 3.5% (+24%) What This Actually Means: - Reddit was quietly becoming the default "trust source" for AI answers - ChatGPT pulling back this hard signals a deliberate sourcing change, not a glitch - Brands that built visibility strategy around one engine just lost a huge chunk of exposure overnight - The winners are the ones already diversified across Google's AI surfaces This is the same pattern seen with traditional rankings. Algorithms shift fast, and businesses that depend on a single channel take the hit first. A similar shift happened with a client last quarter: three blog posts stuck on page 3 for months, no new content, no new backlinks. A structural restructure of 14 existing posts alone moved all three to page 1 within six weeks. Same content. Different visibility. The lesson carries over directly to AI search: the source doesn't need to change, the structure and signals feeding the algorithm do. What Brands Should Do Now: Audit which AI engines currently cite the brand and at what rate. Stop over-indexing on one platform's visibility (ChatGPT-only strategies are exposed right now) Build content structured for extraction across AI Overviews, AI Mode, and Perplexity, not just classic SERPs Track citation share weekly, not quarterly. These swings happen in days Volatility like this is where SEO and AEO strategy earns its value. 📊 Drop "VISIBILITY" in the comments for a quick breakdown of where a brand currently stands across these engines.

It was the worst smell id ever smelt. We tried everything told by reddit, chatgpt, ammis, claude, building management. But the only solution was to get a new one. Im too cute to face adult issues like this **** this ****
