  @Kalshi_Film The Legendary Story: Tom Hanks is sitting at a diner in North Dakota having a beer. A few tables over, some kid is face-down, completely passed out. Hanks walks over to check if he’s okay, sees the guy’s phone sitting on the table, and can’t resist. He has the bartender snap a few photos of himself with the unconscious stranger — one where he’s looking concerned, one where he’s pointing and laughing like he just found treasure — then slips the phone back into the kid’s pocket and leaves. The next morning the guy wakes up, scrolls his camera roll, and finds Tom Hanks photobombing his hangover.  That’s the story that spread on Facebook, Imgur, and Reddit with captions like “Can you imagine finding these on your phone after a drunken night out?” What actually happened A fan ran into Hanks at a diner in West Fargo (Hanks’ niece worked there). The fan’s thing was posing with celebrities while pretending to be wasted. He asked Hanks if they could do it. Hanks said yes, handed over his glasses, and played along while a friend took the pictures. The original Reddit title was literally: “My friend met Tom Hanks, stole his glasses and pretended to be wasted.”  Hanks’ favorite version When a reporter asked him about it in 2013, Hanks gave both stories and then said he preferred the legend: “Well now, that second version is that I did just start taking pictures with a passed-out guy. I’m happy with this version, that it’s become somewhat of a legend. I wouldn’t want anyone not to believe that I am capable of turning up on their phones.” So the photos are real, Hanks really posed with a guy who looks dead-drunk at a diner, and he really used the guy’s phone. He just didn’t do it to a random unconscious stranger. The internet decided the better story was the one where Forrest Gump finds you passed out and photobombs your phone, and Hanks was happy to let that one live. @grok

  Sometimes the best-performing line in an ad isn’t the hook. It’s the line 20 seconds later that describes the customer’s exact experience: “I wake up, and my ankles look almost normal. Then I spend a few hours standing, and by 3 PM my shoes feel tight, my skin feels stretched, and I’m quietly wondering how I’m supposed to get through the rest of the day.” That level of specificity usually comes from Reddit research. It takes time to dig through the posts, comments, and oddly specific complaints people share when they think nobody is listening to them. But our team loves it. Because that’s where you find the emotional details customers rarely say in a survey: The embarrassment of avoiding sandals. The frustration of pressing a finger into swollen skin and watching the mark stay there. The anxiety of planning your day around when your legs will start aching. Specific recognition keeps people watching because they don’t just understand the problem. They feel seen.

  @GorgoKnight Looks like a common issue that’s happened to a bunch of folks over the past two weeks. Can’t pinpoint a fix, and without connecting to see the whole setup, there’s a lot of unknowns. A Reddit user shared this, try this, then reboot the computer after before trying the game again.

  Claude Fable 5.1 dropped yesterday and i've had it running on a full GTM stack since it holds way more at once now. you can dump a whole category's worth of X / LinkedIn posts, every customer conversation you've had, and everything you've ever published into one project and it keeps all of it straight, which means what comes out stops sounding like the other 400 accounts in your niche running the same 3 prompts they lifted off a thread. and this is HUGE because social is where GTM actually lives now. someone decides whether you're worth a reply from a feed months before they decide whether you're worth money, but most companies still file that under brand awareness and then wonder why nobody knows they exist. i'll go over 10 stages with the prompts included for each one. let's get into it. stage 0: build the brain make a claude project and load it up before you ask it for a single thing. and i don't mean a clean CRM export, because you probably don't have one and it doesn't matter anyway. load whatever actually exists: - every post you've shipped, sorted by what hit and what died - your replies, comments, and the DMs that turned into money - whatever customer conversations you have, so calls, demos, tickets - 90 days of posts from the 10 accounts your buyers already read - what shipped in the product lately - the questions people keep asking that you keep answering the same way then run this: "act as the GTM brain for this company. read everything uploaded and build a working profile: what we actually do in plain language, who it's for, what we believe that most of this category doesn't, what we've posted that landed and what died, what proof exists today, and what we can credibly claim vs what we're still earning the right to say. do not make recommendations yet. summarize what's here, then tell me what's missing." nobody selling prompt packs talks about this stage because context can't be packaged, it's just work, and it's the only reason any of the next 10 stages produce something usable. stage 1: who you're actually writing for "look at everyone who reached out to us in the last 90 days. what did they have in common before they reached out, what post did they engage with first, what were they doing instead of us, and what did they say in the first message. if the sample is too small to support conclusions, say so and tell me what would make it reliable." that last line is the one everyone deletes, which is why half this space is running strategy off nine customers and calling it a playbook. most accounts write for their followers when they should be writing for the 30 people inside that number who can actually sign something. stage 2: customer language "pull the exact language buyers use about [PROBLEM] from our own conversations, replies and reviews. then find the same conversation in public, so reddit threads, quote tweets, comment sections, community slacks where it comes up unprompted. format as quote / underlying pain / awareness stage / objection it implies / angle. then flag every place their language differs from how we describe the same thing." that flag is the whole exercise, because the distance between how your buyer says it and how you say it is where your reach goes to die, and it's usually about four words wide. stage 3: read the feed "analyze the last 90 days of posts from [10 ACCOUNTS] in this category. map what claims everyone is making, which takes are so common they stopped meaning anything, what's actually being argued about, what everyone is carefully not saying, and where the conversation goes next. then tell me which of our beliefs puts us on the contested side of a real argument." consensus doesn't travel, since nobody has ever shared a post they already agreed with before reading it. what you want is the take that's true, defensible, and mildly annoying to half your timeline. stage 4: angles "build 5 content pillars from stage 1 and the gaps in stage 3. for each: the belief it attacks, who it's aimed at, the proof required to make it land, the objection it pre-empts, and where it sits in the funnel." then run every one of them through this: "if a competitor could post this word for word and it still makes sense, cut it and tell me what's missing." try that filter on the content plan you're already running and watch how much of it evaporates. stage 5: voice everyone skips this one and then wonders why their AI content reads identical to every other account using AI. "analyze everything we've published. build a voice profile: sentence length and rhythm, how we open, how we handle disagreement, what we'll be wrong about in public, words we use constantly, words we'd never use, how technical we go before simplifying, whether we hedge or commit. then write the anti profile, the exact phrasings that would immediately read as not us. include every cliché in this category we'd be embarrassed to post." then before anything ships: "score this draft against the voice profile 1-10 and tell me which lines would get flagged as not written by us." and the anti profile ends up doing more work than the profile does. stage 6: write the posts "write 5 posts on [PILLAR] in the voice profile from stage 5. every post needs one number, name or detail that could only come from having done the thing. no question as a hook. end on the line that starts a reply. then flag anything we can't back with proof yet." it'll get you about 80% of the way there, and the last 20% is you, which no prompt is getting for you. stage 7: hooks the first two lines decide whether the other 40 get read, so treat them as their own job. "take these 5 posts. rewrite the opening two lines of each 6 ways: the specific result, the contrarian claim, the thing everyone thinks and won't say, the mistake we made, the number that sounds wrong, and the flat statement with no setup. for each tell me who it pulls and what it promises. then flag any hook the post doesn't actually pay off." that last flag is the one that matters most, because a hook you don't pay off costs you the next post too, since people remember getting baited. stage 8: distribution posting is only half of it, because the other half is showing up where the attention already sits. "list the 20 accounts our buyers already read. for each: what they post about, how much their audience overlaps ours, and what we could add in a reply that their audience isn't already getting from them. rank by overlap, not follower count." then: "given [X hours a week], design a posting and engagement system we can actually sustain. cadence, format mix, how much time on replies vs original posts. be honest about what we should not attempt at this volume." a 12k account full of your buyers DESTROYS a 400k account full of other marketers, and most content plans die because they were built for a team of four and end up getting run by one person at 11pm. stage 9: audit "compare the last 30 days to the prior 30. for each pillar and format: reach, engagement, and who engaged, so title, company type, whether they're ICP. flag anything that got reach from the wrong audience, anything that got low reach from exactly the right one, which pillars produced conversations and which produced nothing, and any drop over 20%. then tell me whether the problem is the hook, the pillar, or the claim underneath it." composition beats volume, so 40 engagements from your ICP is a better month than 4000 from people who do what you do. if your replies are all peers then you built a conference and called it pipeline. stage 10: scale "compare 30, 60 and 90 day windows by pillar, format and hook type. find what works across all three, not what spiked once. tell me what to double, what to hold, what to retire. if a sample is too small to call, say so instead of guessing." then: "build next month's roadmap: 2 pillar tests, 2 hook format tests, 1 cadence test. for each: hypothesis, metric, minimum sample to call it, and what happens if it wins." you need a minimum sample on all of it, or you're just reading noise and shipping it as strategy. the loop for you / your team: - inbound tells you who you're writing for - their language becomes the angles - angles become the posts - posts become the replies - replies become the conversations - conversations sharpen the angles - the audit picks what gets written next month every output feeds the next one, so run it for 90 days and you end up with something your competitor can't copy by screenshotting your posts.

  I'm 30. I built an AI startup called GojiberryAI doing over $4M ARR in one year. Got accepted into YC. If I had to start from 0, here's exactly what I'd do: 1. Sell it before I build it. No code. Just a simple slide deck (mine was 6 ugly slides) explaining the problem, the solution, the outcome, and the price. I made my first $10k that way, before writing a single line. 2. Pick a painfully specific customer. Not "B2B SaaS." Something like "founders at 20-person SaaS companies about to hire their first SDR." So specific that the right person reads it and thinks "that's me." 3. Start outbound on day one, but only to people showing intent. Not scraped lists. People engaging with competitors, changing roles, raising money, or publicly posting about the exact problem I solve. That's the gap between a 1-2% reply rate and 25-40%. 4. Lead with value, never a calendar link. Send a blueprint, not "got 15 minutes?" Let the resource do the selling, and the trial becomes the obvious next step instead of a pitch. 5. Pick ONE channel and go deep. For us it was outbound first, then Reddit (10M+ organic views), then LinkedIn lead magnets. I wouldn't touch a second channel until the first one was clearly working. 6. Talk to customers every single day. The product doesn't matter until you understand the problem better than they do. Spend 90% of every early call listening, not demoing. 7. Only build once people are actually paying. Then keep it dead simple and price it to sell itself. We landed on $99/mo with a free trial, so the funnel runs without me dragging anyone onto a call. 8. Do this relentlessly for about 12 months. That’s roughly how long $0 to $3.5M took us. Bootstrapped. No outside funding. Most founders don’t lose because they can’t build. They lose because they build too early, sell too late, and quit the channel before it compounds.

  fable 5.1 is insanely CRACKED at finding winning google ads angles to scale your brand past $1m/mo research capacities literally DOUBLED so here's every prompt you'll need to reverse-engineer competitors' funnels and rip some banger gads based on it: (actually run them all rn, don't just save this) 1. load the brain before you ask it anything the research is only as sharp as the context. upload: - pdps - reviews - website - funnel pages - competitors - report CSVs - brand docs - ICP info - winners - losers literally everything then run this: "act as the angle research lead for this brand. read everything uploaded and build a working profile: ICP segments ranked by revenue, the pain points in the customer's own words, the objections ordered by how often they appear, the proof we already own, and the beliefs a buyer must hold before purchasing. do not propose angles yet. summarise what you found, then tell me what context is MISSING" that last instruction is the whole game. prompt engineering is cope just have claude tell you what he needs from you and give it to him. anybody who disagrees just loves to overcomplicate things. 2. mine untapped databases that semrush misses prompt: "search reddit threads, quora answers, amazon reviews and Q&A sections, youtube comments on competitor and category videos, tiktok comments, trustpilot, and niche forums for people discussing [PROBLEM CATEGORY]. extract VERBATIM language, never paraphrase. for each goldmine you find, give me this: the quote, the pain underneath it, what they already tried, why it failed them, the outcome they want, and the emotional state behind it" paraphrasing is how angles end up sounding like ai slop. the whole value is in knowing your ICP's EXACT words and repeating them on ads. 3. reverse engineer every competitor funnel end to end "research [COMPETITOR 1, 2, 3]. use google ads transparency center, meta ad library, their landing pages, checkout flow and email capture. for each: every live ad and where it routes, the landing page TYPE, the hero promise, the mechanism they claim, the proof they lead with, the objections handled and in what order, the offer and guarantee, and what they are NOT saying" then: "for each competitor page, tell me which awareness level it was built for. then identify which of their traffic is landing on the wrong page type" this is how you find gaps in your competitors strategies that you can capitalize on 4. diagnose market sophistication BEFORE choosing an angle this is the step 9 out of 10 brands skip and it decides whether your angle has any chance: "assess the market sophistication level for [CATEGORY] using schwartz's 5 stages. analyse competitor ads and landing pages as evidence. stage 1 means nobody has made the claim yet. stage 2 means claims are escalating. stage 3 means mechanism differentiation has started. stage 4 means mechanisms are competing. stage 5 means the market is exhausted and identification wins. tell me which stage we're in, the evidence, and what type of angle still works at this stage" if your category is at stage 4, a bigger promise does nothing. every competitor already made one. if you're operating in stage 5, the mechanism is exhausted too, and the strategy has to shift again your ad is only good if it resonates with the market it operates in 5. score every angle against awareness and funnel stage "from the research, generate 15 google ad angles for my brand. for each: the awareness level it serves, the funnel stage it belongs in, the sophistication stage it's valid at, whether it's validated by competitors or white space, the proof required to run it, and the funnel type it should be tested through. rank by expected impact and flag any we lack proof to support" an angle without proof is a claim. claude will rank those last 6. map the keywords to the angles, not the products "build the keyword universe for [BRAND] using the customer language and competitor research. split into branded, competitor, problem-aware symptom queries, solution-aware category queries, comparison, use-case, and occasion. tag each with awareness level, the angle it pairs with, the funnel type it routes to, and the campaign that should own it" this will make everything nice and organized 7. turn the research into the campaign plan "turn everything above into a 30-day google ads launch plan for this specific brand, its AOV, margin structure and market sophistication stage. for each campaign, give me: the angle it carries, the keyword cluster, the landing page type, the creative direction, and the signal that decides whether it scales, holds, or gets cut. separate must-launch from phase 2 tests" then: "tell me which 3 angles to test first and why, given our sophistication stage and the proof we currently own" and that's literally it your competitors are testing angles with fat budgets while you analyze it all, learn from their mistakes, and (ethically) rip their winners with a unique twist and if you want me to audit your brand's google ads angles using this system and show you how we'd capitalize on the winning ones... DM me "OPP"

  If you’re spending budget on GEO right now, this test may save you from putting it into the wrong channel. Today, my client gave us around 500 queries their in-house team was tracking, saying that they want to do Reddit. We narrowed them down to 50 representative ones and ran each 10 times, roughly 500 real ChatGPT responses in total. In this sample, Reddit appeared as a referenced source only 4.8% of the time, with zero direct Reddit citations. At the same time, we started seeing YouTube show up much more often for this AI category. And this is exactly why, for the clients we already work with, we don’t treat distribution as a fixed strategy. Also, e didn’t wait for the Reddit citation drop to become a GEO headline. Our daily monitoring was already showing the shift. Around August 5, we started noticing changes in how ChatGPT was retrieving sources across real user responses. We adjusted the client’s distribution strategy before the broader data came out. Later, public tracking made the change much clearer. ChatGPT Search’s use of site:-specific fan-out queries jumped from roughly 0.37% to 16.8% in a day, while the average number of searches per response increased from around 1.08 to 1.83. A few days later, Reddit’s tracked share of ChatGPT Search citations fell from a previous average of 3.83% to around 0.52%. By the time this became widely discussed, we had already seen the direction in our own monitoring and started moving the client’s budget. But Reddit still matters for reviews, community discussion and long-term brand presence. Before scaling content, we now look at: which domains AI is actually retrieving from which formats keep getting cited which sources are gaining or losing share how those patterns are changing week by week Then we move the budget. For visual categories, that might mean more YouTube. For another category, it might be product pages, niche publications or first-party research. The useful takeaway is simple: Build your GEO distribution plan around what the model is retrieving now. And ideally, you see the shift in your own data before everyone starts posting about it.

  All Indian discourse is a mimicry of American discourse from 10-15 years ago. This means we are now in the era of cringe Reddit adolescent atheism, which is basically people in their 20s projecting their issues against their parents through the internet. But since this is India, there will be no original thought, only mimicry. We even mimic the cringe.

  @XAmericaTtrivia The last time I visited FB, there were hints of my needing to enter by way of trespassed works/organization-pages (mirror?) parallels with changed passwords and new occupants and Reddit kitten imagery analogous to where my low-profile several-acre mining metaphor digs had similar paranoid flesh hung on them but hundreds of feet down.

  REDDIT $RDDT ADDED $2.6B TODAY OVER TWO CONTRACTS WORTH $130M A YEAR: Reddit RDDT at $158.11, +$13.47 / +9.31% today, one of the largest gains on the board among big, widely-followed names - and the company itself did nothing to earn it. The San Francisco company runs the network of user-written forums people land on when they add "reddit" to a search, employs 2,555 people, and makes almost all its money selling ads inside those conversations. The day around it: S&P 500 ETF Trust, ticker SPY, at $765.27 (after hours), +$3.49 / +0.46%. One stock, not a market. WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID Colin Sebastian at Baird kept a Neutral rating and a $185 price target - the level an analyst reckons the shares are worth - and made an unusual argument. Not that good news is coming: that the bad news is already in the price. Today's share price, he wrote, already sits near his worst case for two expiring contracts, and he valued a middling outcome at roughly $10 a share of extra value, a good one at roughly $20. That is the whole catalyst: an unchanged rating and a sentence about what the price already assumes. THE TWO CONTRACTS Reddit charges AI companies for legal access to its archive of human conversation instead of letting the text be scraped for free. Two of those deals matter: - Alphabet, the owner of Google, at $337.38 (after hours), +$2.36 / +0.70% today: a reported $60M a year, from a February 2024 expansion of its access to Reddit's data - OpenAI, privately held, with no shares anyone can buy: a reported $70M a year, from May 2024 Both expire next year. Neither has been renewed in public. Together that is $130M a year against $2.78B of revenue - the money coming in the door - across Reddit's last four reported quarters. Roughly 4.7% of sales. Set the two side by side. Today added about $2.6B of market value - the share price times every share - against contracts bringing in $130M a year. Twenty years of that revenue repriced in one session, on an argument that the fear had gone too far. WHY IT NEEDED AN ARGUMENT The June quarter, reported July 30, was not the problem. - Revenue $804.9M, +61% from a year earlier - the eighth quarter in a row above 60% - Advertising was $762M of it, +64%; everything else, licensing included, $43M - Profit $252.8M, or $1.25 a share, against about $0.97 analysts modeled, from $89.3M a year earlier - People using Reddit on an average day: 130.3M, +18%. Money earned per user: $6.18, +36% - This quarter was then guided to $860M-$870M of revenue, above the roughly $830M modeled Beat, guided higher, and down 20.99% the next session - $178.04 to $140.67 on July 31, on 29.9M shares against a normal 4.5M. Two worries did that. Visitors arriving from Google searches had gone choppy, and no new AI licensing deal was announced. Both are one worry in different clothes: how much of Reddit turns on a larger company's decisions. Which is why Alphabet is in this story twice - as the customer paying the $60M, and as the search box deciding how many people show up. THE PART THAT SHOULD SLOW ANYBODY DOWN Reddit did this exact thing three weeks ago. On August 14 it closed at $178.09, up 12.63% in a session, on news it would join the S&P 500 - the index that fund above tracks - on August 18. Index funds have to buy what the index holds, so that was real, dated, mechanical demand. By September 1 the stock closed $144.64. The entire 18.78% handed back over twelve sessions. Today's $158.11 close is one cent below the $158.12 it closed at on August 13, the day before the index news broke. Three weeks, two double-digit jumps, one full round trip. The shape today was strong - opened $143.71, dipped to $143.50 early, closed within 16 cents of its best price of the day - but on 5.32M shares against a 7.03M average over the past month. A 9% move on lighter turnover is a smaller crowd setting the price than the percentage implies. Wider frame: the shares sit 44.1% under the $282.95 of September 18 last year, and $19.93 / 11.2% under where they closed the day before the July report. WHERE IT SITS Reddit is fourth on the Hypergrowth Len5, which watches early companies growing fast. It earns that on both halves at once - 18% more people showing up, each worth 36% more - which is how a 61% quarter gets built without either number carrying it alone. WHAT WOULD CHANGE IT: management's own map for this quarter is +47% to +49%, the first sub-60% quarter in two years. Growth settling there and easing further makes this a bigger company growing slower, which is a different style's shape. None of the other five carry it. Momentum watches a company climbing on news of its own, and an outsider's opinion is not that; a high built on Reddit's own October figures would be. Quality-Value hunts a durable business at a fair price; 33.6 times the last year of profit is arguable, but durability is the harder half while a real share of visitors arrives through somebody else's search box - user growth holding through a referral downturn is what would settle it. No dividend answers Income in one line. Alphabet sits first on that same Quality-Value Len5 - the top name on it - because search and cloud are about as hard to displace as any business gets, and the price reads as a real discount rather than merely fair. WHAT WOULD CHANGE IT: search revenue shrinking as people ask AI assistants instead. WHAT TO WATCH, AND THE RISK October 29 is the next hard fact, when Reddit is expected to report - not company-confirmed. That is where +47% to +49% either lands or does not, and where any renewal news surfaces. The risk is that nothing was signed today. No contract renewed, no talks confirmed, no figure published. What moved was one analyst's read of what the price already assumed - and twice this summer this same stock has been handed a reason to jump and then spent a fortnight giving it back. Not investment advice.

  This tired 20th century psychoanalysis is just laughable. These “weak people” escaped slavery, crossed the desert, conquered a foreign land for hundreds of years, and kept the documents about it; preserving their identity so well against the Assyrians and Romans you’re still mad about them today. Now tell me, which angle of Jew-sperging are we taking here? Is it “Christianity is a Jewish religion”? If so, that religion conquered the gods of Homer and the lands of Odin, just not entirely the way poor ol’ Nietzsche liked with his made up system of beliefs that magically served what he liked and condemned what he didn’t like. The problem you’ll have with Nietzsche is the same he had with himself, there’s no means to ground his ideas of morality so they drift off into Reddit levels of cope. You don’t have to like Israel dude, but at least bring something other than ideas that were laughable over a century ago.

  If your startup has no traffic right now, it's a skill issue. Reddit gets 10M+ daily visitors hunting for solutions to their problems as we speak. You don't need an audience. You don't need followers. You don't need a brand. Right subreddit. Right place. Right way to promote. That's the whole formula. The subreddits are public. The winning post formats are public. Everything is free. One post per 48-72 hours. 30 days. Zero bans. What's your excuse?

  @Fran_Casaretto_ The Legendary Story: Tom Hanks is sitting at a diner in North Dakota having a beer. A few tables over, some kid is face-down, completely passed out. Hanks walks over to check if he’s okay, sees the guy’s phone sitting on the table, and can’t resist. He has the bartender snap a few photos of himself with the unconscious stranger — one where he’s looking concerned, one where he’s pointing and laughing like he just found treasure — then slips the phone back into the kid’s pocket and leaves. The next morning the guy wakes up, scrolls his camera roll, and finds Tom Hanks photobombing his hangover.  That’s the story that spread on Facebook, Imgur, and Reddit with captions like “Can you imagine finding these on your phone after a drunken night out?” What actually happened A fan ran into Hanks at a diner in West Fargo (Hanks’ niece worked there). The fan’s thing was posing with celebrities while pretending to be wasted. He asked Hanks if they could do it. Hanks said yes, handed over his glasses, and played along while a friend took the pictures. The original Reddit title was literally: “My friend met Tom Hanks, stole his glasses and pretended to be wasted.”  Hanks’ favorite version When a reporter asked him about it in 2013, Hanks gave both stories and then said he preferred the legend: “Well now, that second version is that I did just start taking pictures with a passed-out guy. I’m happy with this version, that it’s become somewhat of a legend. I wouldn’t want anyone not to believe that I am capable of turning up on their phones.” So the photos are real, Hanks really posed with a guy who looks dead-drunk at a diner, and he really used the guy’s phone. He just didn’t do it to a random unconscious stranger. The internet decided the better story was the one where Forrest Gump finds you passed out and photobombs your phone, and Hanks was happy to let that one live. @grok
