  @Ooreoluwa__ Used it in the first few weeks then someone told me to be careful because there’s been issues with it making bottles with wrong formula and water ratio. Then I went down a rabbit hole on Reddit and saw parents saying it landed them in the ER so I just stopped 🥴

  If you're using Reddit for SaaS growth, don't search only for your product category. Search for the problem people have before they know which product they need. “Looking for an alternative” “Anyone using…” “How do you handle…” Those conversations are much closer to buying intent.

  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.

  @_kodiakinclouds This is why I checked out from it (and fandoms in general). This behaviour has been happening for years now, even in 2020 when Twisted Wonderland got released, I quickly noticed this issue. In the 2010s I saw it on Tumblr and Reddit, it made me actively avoid certain fandoms.

  @JohnSmith5z5e @HDRgameAnalysis I was having issues with the movement on controller, someone on reddit said to change the deadzone from round to square/raw and that fixed it. I use a Gamesir controller so maybe it's just brand specific

  @PrimeTopNews 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

  I have a habit of browsing the internet immediately after sending a prompt in Cursor. My brain doesn't want to context switch to work on a different part of the code. It wants to ensure the code I'm currently working on is complete before I move on to something else. But I also don't want to sit there and wait for the agent to finish working. That's too boring. So the easy thing is to open X, email, or reddit. Herein lies the problem. My goal is to replace this habit with - move around the room and stretch - go outside Any other ideas?

  Deadwrong once again LLM... Look, protecting your own Bluetooth devices from unauthorized access, interception, or data exposure is completely legitimate (Bluesnarffing). Grok is here with yet again a false interpretation and takin' sides of conglomerate following its terrible training. If you want to reduce the risk of unwanted access between your phone, your car, or other personal IoT devices, there are a few hardware options that can help with isolation, authentication, or simply cutting down exposure. Some are built for security, some are just practical ways to keep a device from being directly exposed, and all of them can help reduce the chances of unwanted Bluesnarfing or other over-the-air snooping. Here are some pulled from a Reddit thread. Which is what I expected Grok to do... But instead it wrongfully, and commonly flagged my comment as illicit. Ubertooth One — An open-source 2.4 GHz wireless platform used to monitor and audit Bluetooth traffic on devices you own or are authorized to test. iStorage datAshur BT — A hardware-encrypted flash drive that uses Bluetooth-based authentication to protect access to stored data. Besign BK06 Bluetooth Receiver — A Bluetooth audio bridge that can help keep your phone paired to a simpler accessory instead of exposing it directly to a car infotainment system. TUNAI Firefly LDAC Bluetooth Receiver — A portable audio receiver that can serve as an audio-only bridge in some setups. FiiO BTR5 Portable Hi-Fi Bluetooth Receiver — A portable Bluetooth receiver for audio-focused use, useful when you want a dedicated accessory instead of pairing directly with a car system. Mission Darkness Faraday Bag — A shielding pouch that blocks wireless signals, including Bluetooth, when you want full radio isolation. Many can be made and steps to implement in your vehicle would take some brain storming..

  B2B SaaS companies rank well in traditional search but still fail to earn citations in AI search. The fix? Getting experts to post about their knowledge on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Reddit. I built a system to make this programmatic, and it's forged from decade of reporting and vetting sources myself while writing for publications like Forbes, Vogue Business, and ADWEEK. It taught me something that most content strategists never learn: editors and journalists don't cite content, they cite PEOPLE — specific, verifiable, independently credentialed humans with a named point of view and a track record of being right about something.

  @AnghanMeet29 At zero users, I wouldn’t start with ads. I’d first find 10–20 people already talking about the problem you solve and reach out directly. That’s basically what we’re building OpenNomos for — finding those people across X, Reddit, and Xiaohongshu. Happy to help you find a few.

  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.
