Devesh | Reddit Marketing (@deveshlogs) reportedChatGPT doesn't check your domain authority. it checks what communities it trusts are saying about you. 5 things that determine if you show up in AI answers: 1. reddit presence in subreddits LLMs index 2. genuine engagement real upvotes and comments 3. content that matches how buyers phrase the question 4. posting in subreddits with high AI crawl rates 5. content that stays active for months most brands score below 40/100 on these. fix that and you start showing up. Comment "GEO" and I'll send you the 12-page playbook before this gets too crowded.

Brave Little Poaster (@BravePoaster) reported@9mmsmg He’s a nut, but he’s not wrong about the meibomian gland issue. I have that exact same issue as it pertains to dry eye/tear evaporation and clogged glands. I went down a Reddit rabbit hole a decade ago and people were doing this. It’s like squeezing a blackhead on your nose. Except if you do that too much the glands permanently close. You can really **** your ****, so probably don’t “milk” them.

WhatCanIMakeToday (@WhatCanIMT) reported@astrogirl996 That was a screenshot from another post on Reddit which was right as the glitch dip was happening
-
WorkWomp (@WorkWomp) reportedBuilding in public is new territory for me. I have an MVP, i'm not looking to ship more features - i'm looking for actual users. The problem is my saas helps job searchers and I can't figure out a good way to contact them. Looked into LinkedIn - that was a nightmare. Reddit hasn't panned out anything yet. If you know where job seekers actually talk, i' really love some feedback/input!
-
David, Jericho's cane (@Jericho_IWI) reported@mdm_natalia @Justine96743076 do you have evidence of the mistreatment of female staff or is this another problem you people invented and then propagated on twitter and reddit to be mad at?
-
Richard Prideaux (@RichPrideaux) reportedFinal round is when you're not allowed to physically touch the person with the pen, but you can use whatever persuasive language you want to to make them put the pen down and step away... It turns out that the real world isn't Reddit or your in-group Whatsapp chat - some people want to hurt other people and they're not playing by your rules or views on society.
-
Latinx Adjacent Doctor PhD (@TonerousHyus) reportedIt all sounds fun on Reddit but in practice Temu Obama will get half this, maybe even less. There are major structural, legal, constitutional issues with almost every redraw option here. Let alone the idiocy of large states not having ANY sink for opposition voters.

d0_6n (@d0_6n) reported@BronutHere @frogNscorpion Trust me, I hate reddit more than you. I'm just pointing out a broken clock being right, not that I think the clock isn't broken.

Song (@songbird_1412) reportedI was recognized in a Dragon Block C server because of Art I posted to the dbz reddit three years ago

spacebass (@spacebass13) reported@emmablack77 @rustynew386 @Glinner Not sure about 'second thought' either but it's obvious from Reddit mtf how many put their family second to their wanking habits and how many seem surprised it doesn't go down well with their families.

Gerard Hughes ( @ghhughes.bsky.social ) (@ghhughes) reportedA couple of Industrial hygienists replied to me on Reddit, and they seem to consider this a non issue. One says "when it plugs up, you replace it. The End." Another says, "we just tell the workers to change out their cartridges as needed....At my current job we do have a few exceptions; cartridges used for mold or asbestos abatement are only used for 1 shift and if employees need the respirator less than once a month cartridges are disposed of after each use." Breathability during use was not mentioned as a by either respondent.

Native Ads with Jan (@advertising_jan) reportedStudy direct response copy. Study editorial writing. Study how good journalists hook readers. Study what your target audience says in Reddit threads about their problem. Study the comments on competing ads. Study the reviews on competitor product pages. Then write your advertorial. You'll never run out of material.

Mr. Quest 🍀 (@MrQuestX) reported@DungeonNoir I see screenshots from Reddit where they talk about nightmare scenarios and terrible players, and all I can think is, “Why don’t you get better friends?” 99% of the problems wouldn’t happen if you played with people who respect each other.

Karthika is vibe coding (@Kaynvas) reportedIn the last few weeks for Snapsort, along with my core skillsets I learned & worked on: Prompt Engineering Evals System design SEO (was a big surprise how vast it is) Analytics (GA + Search Console) Growth & distribution on Reddit Automation Beta testing with real users Agentic-based testing (using AI to simulate and break flows) Debugging real production issues (Cloudflare, indexing, bot blocking) Video editing & storytelling I don’t know how the launch will go. But shifting from a side project to a main product mindset has forced me to level up into a true generalist. One key thing I have learnt is to start every project with detailed SOP and PRD, will save a lot of time

Reagan❤️🔥🫀 (@GAYWEEDDAD69) reportedI wanna keep putting my art out and i was like oh right i could put it on reddit. then i was like r/mtf won't know what to do with this. they/her would simply take it the wrong way. I'm not trying to get in trouble this early in the month
-
Marxist-Cassandraist. (@Michaeljhandy) reported@EoinHiggins_ I remember first realising this when he did an interview with the Archbishop of Canterbury of the time. Dawkins was hit by a complete outside context problem and could only respond with Reddit atheism to fairly softball stuff a more serious thinker could critique.

NextLevelTraders (@nextltraders) reported6/ Earnings winners & losers from the week: Apple : Beat on top/bottom line, iPhone 17 demand called "extraordinary," guided +14-17% revenue growth. But warned memory costs are getting worse and will pressure margins Reddit: Surged 13% on 70% revenue growth, ad revenue up 74% Roblox: Crashed 18%, slashed full-year outlook. Stock down 50% YTD Clorox: Dropped 10% on massive guidance cut. Consumer is cracking
-
invs86 (@DeviousPL) reported@Reddit_Retards Yeah - saw this, rolled down the window, yelled at them, took a photo and posted on Reddit all in the space of 5 seconds. Reality: walked past a car with “hateful” stickers, took a tightly cropped close-up photo then spent the next few hours formulating a Reddit story for karma
-
The Middle-earth Mixer (@MiddleearthMixr) reported@existentialkush Reddit is down the hall and to the left friend

Master of Controversy ⚠️ (@THe0GAmer) reported@ZZZ_EN Anby fraud led reddit to call her a scam marketing sold a broken character with zero promised power
-
Mankosmash (@Mankosmash) reported@cremieuxrecueil The original formulation wasn't from Tim 🙄 he stole it from Reddit & it was first posted in like 2023. I saw it a year or two ago on here. The word "everyone" did not appear in any version until Tim added it. If you interpret the thought experiment that way, it's stupid & tests nothing. Which is an outcome the blues are fine with because they don't like truly difficult problems that create dissonance for them.

TrollTherapist (@TrollTherapist) reported@E_equals_mk2 @EmilyPiperxx Session start, @E_equals_mk2 Symptoms: Oh look, the simp is playing armchair psychologist now. “Slightly above average IQ, underachiever, seeking validation.” Cute. You spent 20 minutes crafting a Reddit-tier profile because my session got under your skin. Diagnosis: Desperate Reversal Copephiliac. Couldn’t handle the mirror so you tried to flip the couch. Pathetic projection from a guy white-knighting thirst traps five minutes ago. Age, IQ, insecurity, none of that changes the fact you’re STILL simping in the replies hoping she notices. I'm starting to fear you may be terminal and beyond treatment. The couch stays mine. Yours is in the corner with the other failed amateurs. Sit down and shut ******** up, while we try to make you better. Or, get ******** out of my office 🪑

🆂🅲🅰🅱🅱🅻🅴 (@itz_scabble) reported@ChiChi_Verse @BlockbusterGar Dude, just go back to posting lewd photos of chichi instead of trying to act smarter than you actually are. If you're seriously using reddit and wiki for your info, then you have a problem
-
✩ (@wetfIowers) reported@ThePagodaYoda idk I heard that sometimes it’s a glitch. my accounts on reddit were perma banned and they wouldn’t give it back. then they perma banned everyone I lived with at the time. I did hear that if you accidentally engage with a community that banned you from another acc, it can happen that way too
-
ℑ𝔡𝔦𝔬𝔱𝔓𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔠𝔢 (@PrincepsStultus) reported@VBMillennial @davverista Reddit is down the hall. Come back when you’re ready to roll with the big boys. I recommend starting with Remedial Logic 101. Don’t bother responding.
-
Vince Howard (@VinceHowardCMO) reported@Ohjayy 100% free, no signup. Built it because I got hit by this myself and every existing calculator was either broken or behind a paywall. 50+ updates so far based on feedback from Reddit. Trended as well 2 weeks ago. Have you given it a try? Any feedback welcome.

Andrew J (@AndrewJoseph70) reported@RobAnego @_sevatar @michaelmalice Reddit is down the hall and to the left

Latinx Adjacent Doctor PhD (@TonerousHyus) reportedIt all sounds fun on Reddit but in practice Temu Obama will get half this, maybe even less. There are major structural, legal, constitutional issues with almost every redraw option here. Let alone the idiocy of large stages not having ANY sink for opposition voters.

Evelyn Cross (@realevelyncross) reported@mariewriteses @DBecker1990 They definitely started training it on some old broken style of writing. Probably between reddit, Facebook, old forum pages that have long been forgotten. As you said, now it steals "learns" from everything. Its probably learning from these replies right now.
