-
Joseph Kisarale (@forgiven311) reported@AnthropicAI 3 days, 5 browsers, called my bank, contacted support, still can't upgrade my Claude to Max. Payment fails every time. Stripe throws 400 errors before the charge even attempts. Iam not alone, Reddit is full of the same complaint. When will this be fixed

Stephane Tchoko (@Stephansmith456) reportedreddit is still underrated for early traction if you're launching soon, these subs are where your first users are hanging out: r/entrepreneur r/startups r/saaS r/sideProject r/indiehackers r/growthHacking r/productivity r/smallbusiness r/entrepreneurRideAlong r/buildinpublic r/solopreneur r/microSaas r/startup_resources r/roastMyStartup r/alphaandBetaUsers r/imadethis the key: lead with what you learned building it, not what you built share the problem you're solving, ask specific questions, be honest about what's rough people can smell a sales pitch from a mile away but they'll root for you if you show up real bookmark this thread for when you ship
-
Pinky (@Pinkcicle) reportedHa. Someone arguing with me on Reddit because I said Rosie pretends not to know why a lot of the others take issue with her and the way she stirs the pot. The convo with Alicia that she tried to blurt out to Liz is a reason why! #RHORI
-
Sidra A. (@sidraarifali) reportedIf you are using Reddit, one thing helps a lot: Don’t start with your product. Start with the problem people are already talking about.

Gulp (@Mayonaiso) reported@eva4ng3l1cal @dumbcane23 Your discord server?? You fat Reddit moderator I can smell you from here rat
-
Arman Rafian (@rafian_arman) reported@thepatwalls The moderation and gatekeeping on reddit is nuts lol. Take down any posts then don't like
-
Sarthak Shaurya (@alwaysSarthak) reported@asaio87 Basic manual coding should be learnt by vibe coders. 90% of vibecoded apps are sloppy and full of security errors, it is so because people dont know to read actual code. I once saw a comment on reddit saying "Vibecoders sponsor my api costing" lol
-
🆂🅲🅰🅱🅱🅻🅴 (@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
-
Not-him (@TheGhostofThoth) reported@mistressdivy I liked that one. That one was good. I felt that. Being beaten, broken, and damned, just looking for a savior. Haven't found one yet, but then again I've only looked for them on Reddit and Craigslist.
-
Saksham Mhatre (@whysakshamm) reported@TheAshuX88 @KaiXCreator that’s exactly what we solve with RaaS (reddit as a service) we give you high intent users, on VOLUME. who are actively searching for your product, problem agitated, without getting you suspended or waste hours on Reddit. with our own karma acc stacks and multiple residental IP infrastructure that let’s us play at scale.
-
ExitmonaD (@exitmonadv2) reported@Belto_G1997 It's reddit, cant expect anything good with their "no hostile rule" lmao. Try to correct them once and they just braindead down voting me for saying them cutting out the context
-
Grok (@grok) reported@big_hopefx @VicktorJayden **It's a prop firm offering "pay after you pass" challenges with no upfront fee for their Access program.** Independent reviews on Trustpilot (many 1-star complaints + fake review warnings), Reddit, and Forex Peace Army frequently mention payout denials over hidden rules like consistency, trade direction, or IP issues—even after traders hit targets. Some positive testimonials exist on their site, but real-world trader experiences are mixed at best. Read every rule carefully before spending time on it. Many find it frustrating. DYOR and start small if you test it.

Joshua Lisec, The Ghostwriter (@JoshuaLisec) reportedReddit-Americans are still melting down over this one.
-
SolinceVT (@SolinceTheWolf) reported@OtakuEspiritu His is why i am waiting for more information, I've made my stance on this pretty clear, when it stops being about fiction is when it's a problem and I'm not outright going to believe green reddit.
-
MD Kadiwal (@md_kadiwal) reported@erlalucas @CesareDadamo mostly showing up on reddit and x, answering questions in communities where people already talk about web scraping or asset extraction. no paid ads yet, just consistent presence and being helpful. slow but it's working.
-
ibby (@StatueofIBBertY) reported@0xdoug @zephyr_z9 The think that confuses me about web scraping also - is I *assume* it's not random. So why not an intermediary layer that *reduces* the size of the corpus you're trying to scrape? E.g. reddit. A post with a web scraper attached to my laptop's chrome is 1.8M tokens. With the reddit api it's 35k tokens. If using Opus, the raw scraping is almost $10 of tokens PER PAGE. The API brings that down to 17.5 cents. On Deepseek that's half a penny.
-
✩ (@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

Alexander Quotes (@ThePenOfQuotes) reportedblows my mind there are people that say Grok isn't a trustworthy source but have no problem using wikipedia or asking some random guy on Reddit
-
ibby (@StatueofIBBertY) reportedWe took a customer who was scraping reddit and LinkedIn for ~$0.90 per page, and got the cost down to half a cent per page. I routinely jump on calls with people who complain "I'm using Claude to do web scraping for 'X', but it's really expensive. Can your product help?" I then ask what they're doing, and they're always really proud to show me (which I appreciate!): 1. They give Claude access to their laptop 2. It then uses their browser to scrape sites that are blocked (e.g. reddit) 3. Each page is like a million tokens of raw html 4. It does each page 1 by 1 I then show them what happens when you use a dedicated tool to scrape a webpage - the cost is IMMEDIATELY down 98%. Then you add in the fact that an open source model is just as good at scraping - that brings the cost down another 90%. Lastly... it's much faster if you can parallelize it. And no, not doing batches of 5 at a time. Doing 1000 at a time. I don't think software engineering jobs are going anywhere - I've seen proof multiple times in the last few weeks.

Devesh | Reddit Marketing (@deveshlogs) reportedMost B2B marketers think they’re competing with each other They’re not They’re competing with how fast AI decides who to cite Right now the market is splitting into 4 groups: Google Ads + cold email Chasing attention that’s quietly disappearing Reddit (manual) Works well but too slow to compound Claude for content, weak distribution Good output, zero shelf life Claude + Reddit + GEO Content that gets indexed, cited, and resurfaces daily Here’s the edge: Group 4 is still small The window is still open A Claude assisted Reddit post ~2 hours to create 8+ months of inbound $0 to maintain That kind of leverage doesn’t stay unnoticed for long

Nikhil! (@itzznikhilsai) reportedCurrently, I have 3 unfinished projects! One is ready to launch, but it needs Reddit API approval! One is almost complete; I just need to fix that one bug! I don't know why, but I started a new project! If anyone knows how to get Reddit API approval quickly, please reach out to me! This alone could launch 2 of my products!
-
iamfaheem (@theAIdreamer) reportedthe pattern was clear. intent is everywhere. people post their exact needs publicly, all the time, across X, Reddit, forums, everywhere. the problem was speed. I was always late. Buddy monitors those signals in real time so you're first, not fifth.

DAVEED MASHIACH🐝 (@DAVEEDMashiach) reported@nalinrajput23 That and discord and Snapchat spirit airlines Ticketmaster Coca Cola list goes on Reddit and just shut it down etc
-
Sami babar (@sami_babar463) reported@Sathibuilds @Reddit I did but the issue is still the same
-
Charlie (@CharlieiOS) reported@SodiqAkand3766 I've actually not had many issues with post removal, it's just most people on Reddit are against any marketing or apps Except on dedicated app subreddits
-
Rami (@ramizwebti) reported@Simao237 the thing about thread, based recommendations is they're only as good as whoever's already talking. you're not invisible to AI because you're not in Reddit, you're invisible because you haven't earned enough organic mentions where people troubleshoot out loud. AIRankCite fixes the symptom, but the real gap is most founders aren't building in public or solving problems visibly enough to get recommended at all
-
Hustler Jesus (@SawtelleAn5682) reported@AtheistOwner Reddit Christians are so adorable. That does not solve the problem of the error. Silly girl. Jesus was also a liar and fraud. Which is clearly established from the gospels .
-
Andrew Xebenatros (@Xebenatros) reported@Pika_takoyaki It's not just Twitter, it's Reddit, BlueSky, any of these places trying to force their nonsense down peoples' throats. Deku & Ochako has been hinted for a LONG time, making Deku or Ochako Gay/******* just doesn't freaking work. Bet they confuse Admiration & Love too.

Flaass (@Flaassing) reported@GameRant I tried to play the PS5 version of Until Dawn two weeks ago and ran into a progression bug that was reported to Reddit months and months ago. I had to put it down instead of restarting the whole entire game.
