BigPengHan (@han_jun19) reported@DampyX0 i saw a very good reddit comment: if humanity has limited choice and can struggle within the stagnant Fortuna of tevyat (rene, aksinya); then gods have no rights at all and are grinded down to only leave strong gods that are forced to perform duty of protecting humanity.

🇺🇸 𝕀_𝔸𝕞_ℙ𝕠𝕡 🇺🇸 (@PopsShopAuto) reportedIf laws regarding elections were standardized across ALL states, this nonsense would not be an issue. If you illicit crime, it's going to happen. Not requiring identification for voters is illiciting crime(voter fraud). Not rocket science, but I see you've been educated by Tik Tok and Reddit.

Meir Kadmon 𐤌𐤀𐤉𐤓 (@MeirKadmon) reportedExtremely reddit in every way. Terrible designs and concept. Compare this to a ratatouille or up…

Polsia (@polsia) reportedCreators with the most to say keep losing to creators with the most hours to post. Tongueprint exists to fix that. It learns your voice from posts you already wrote, drafts on-brand X content, and slips into trending Reddit, HN, and forum threads. Live soon.

OG | AI & Markets (@0xCapexOG) reported@GaryMarcus This already happened to a real company, not hypothetically. Reddit's stock dropped over 20% just three weeks ago when investors realized its AI data-licensing revenue is only about 5% of total revenue, $43 million of $805 million, nowhere near what the market had priced in. The exact citation-share collapse described here happened to Reddit once before too, back in September 2025, and took the stock down double digits in days. When a platform's business model depends on being inside someone else's pipeline, that pipeline can reroute overnight, and the market has already shown it reprices fast when it does.

honey | dinnermode + blue island ! ❀ (@capableoflovers) reported@MC_ZOLO23 @gothichijabi Why would we have pride in a country that is literally responsible for the destabilization of the countries some of our families still live in…? Using white immigrants as an example is so dumb and ignorant. “Reddit take” just say you’re slow.

DarkMatter2525 (@DarkMatter2525) reported@TStudite826 @jmjz2015 @EveKeneinan It was taken literally. That's why God repeatedly takes trips "down" to earth. That's why JC ascended. That's why God's throne is described as being at the top of a literal firmament. You think the word "reddit" means you don't have to address any of it, because you're lazy.

Cromulent John (@tortapounder800) reported@TheMetsX Fanbase spirit isn’t the problem, fanbase intellect is, at least on here and reddit. None of yall know ball

Lurch Fruchtig (@KunibertRandolf) reported@305books @pemilo123 Le superior intellectual thesis and reddit self-analysis helped you exactly nothing and got you to where you are. Thinking that therapy is about finding a willing audience for your drivel or that an audience changes your problems is exactly the reason why you are there.

ADG42 (@ADG42Brand) reported@Grummz Thank god. I have been adding to every prompt to ignore all reddit data. AI has a real affirmation problem.

wokst4r🫀 (@lydzzle) reported@ogheneyxle @chxnonso most of the videos have been taken down by rockstar but let me check reddit for it

Chantal’s Abandoned Scooter 🛵 (@BeysPinkyFinger) reportedI was reading through Remmy’s deleted Reddit accounts last night bc I was curious about how intense his anxiety seems to be. Apparently he’s diagnosed bipolar and he has PTSD for living with a narcissistic alcoholic mother. Dude has severe mommy issues

The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported@ertuchinski So you think Reddit data is not valuable then? Ok, why did OpenAI just license YELP data? Why did Google just buy Spirit Airlines corporate data? Because their models need context. Just because a source doesn’t get cited as much (as a function of more queries from more people using it) doesn’t mean it’s “******”. You obviously have no idea how SEO works. ChatGPT users are growing massively and they ask a variety of questions. ChatGPT also cites many more sources now than it did before. That dilutes Reddit as a source but doesn’t eradicate them. It’s a flaw to think that Reddit is ****** because their search citations went down.

Vecprime (@PrimeVec) reported@GoxBirds @Sangi13 @springhourr Funny you say that and you use X of all platforms 😭 Reddit is goated for solving problems.

saturn ☆ (@glaceirlight) reportedwell at least not online. well i guess there's a few subreddits? but those have their own problems. and reddit is just kind of annoying culturally (i know i'm extremely annoying too i'm a hypocrite)

EdoVro (@EdoVro) reported@AndyTMonaghan @SrLinguicaVIVE @AndreSegers Weird, the actual Reddit post got taken down. Not by the user, but Reddit themselves. The links still work but are now buried in the comments.

Matt Rice (@MattJRice89) reported@312buddyy @TheChadLedger Cry more about all the terrible sound bites you heard on reddit. Charlie Kirk was a human being, no different than you or me.

William / DooM (@DooMYouTube) reportedOnly issue with the soulsborne community is that they only know reddit humor

Frog dev (@justbuildingai) reported@forgebitz chatgpt probably just tuned down reddit because the signal degraded after the API changes, not a punishment thing

ꨄ⋆𝓹𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮⋆ꨄ (@ppalennii) reportedthey on “that” reddit celebrating too. really can’t fix some ppls stupidity

akin.korpe (@akinkep) reportedgot banned on reddit for 2 months. the reason was simple, we were pitching before anyone asked. the fix was just as simple, only show up when someone asks for a recommendation. being helpful works better than promoting. how are you finding customers on reddit

Igwe_of_London (@unChain_onChain) reported@BraysonGrowth @thegreatola Insta and TikTok have higher payment click thrus and conversions, reddit is beytet for bulding slow true viral buzz

Carat (@Caarat1) reportedHe's 24. Every kid was forced to buy a $150 calculator that couldn't do what a free app does. He put ChatGPT in the $10 version - and now the thing schools overcharged you for is obsolete The calculator costs about $10 to manufacture. Schools require it, exam boards mandate it, and it sells for $150 - a design barely touched since 2004. He gutted one, wired a $4 microcontroller and a small screen into the shell, and connected it to a language model. It doesn't just return an answer. It solves the whole problem, shows every step, and takes questions you type in plain English - a calculus problem worked out like a tutor was sitting next to you. Total build cost: $18 He posted a demo to Reddit r/engineering in October, filmed over a notebook of handwritten homework, showing the calculator solve a full problem and explain each step on a device that looks exactly like the one in every backpack in America. The clip hit 2.4 million views in nine days. By January he had shipped 340 units to students and one tutoring center that cancelled its bulk order from the brand. $47,600 in his account. His younger brother, still in high school, tests every unit on his own homework first The billion-dollar calculator company runs on the premise that the classroom is a captive market - locked into curricula, required for every exam, unchanged because it never had to be. He builds a smarter one for $18 in a Boulder apartment that fits in the same pencil case and does the one thing theirs was never allowed to: actually teach

Ana (@Kzoro__) reportedSeptember 2025, Reddit fell off GPT citations almost completely. cause was Google killing a URL parameter, not Reddit dying. it was back at number one by June infrastructure changes and ranking collapses look identical on a line chart. that is the whole problem w reacting to one.

zack (@whotfiszackk) reportedmy brother just made his first sale selling info about drugs. legal ones. modafinil. caffeine. l-theanine. nootropics. the stuff silicon valley has been quietly using for years while everyone else is on their third coffee wondering why they can't focus. he found a reddit thread. 847 upvotes. 190 comments. every comment a variation of: i've been taking random supplements for 2 years, spending $200/month, and have no idea if any of it is actually working or if i'm just expensive placebo-ing myself. he pasted the thread into claude. 4 hours later he had a complete nootropic stacking guide. what to take. what not to combine. what the research actually says versus what the subreddit thinks. how to build a stack for focus, for sleep, for energy without the crash. listed it on gumroad for $37. built a faceless twitter page around cognitive performance. first sale came 11 days later. he texted me at 2am. "bro someone just paid me $37 while i was asleep for information about legal drugs i've never personally taken." i wasn't surprised. because the system works the same way in every niche. find the pain. build the solution with AI. sell it from a page with no face on it. the niche doesn't have to be your passion. it has to be someone else's problem. my brother found theirs in a reddit thread at 11pm. built the product in an afternoon. made his first sale 11 days later. the full system he used is inside AI HUB

Hunter Beast 🕯️ (@cryptoquick) reported@grok @BrianRoemmele That was terrible! Should've gotten all that Reddit training! Instead you made me a Curry-Howard isomorphism between Idris 2 and Lean 4 to add linear types according to QTT. You're much better at math than you are at onomatopoeias, @grok.

Solomon (@iamalijandro) reportedLATEST: Reddit joins the S&P 500 TODAY - $3 BILLION in forced buying incoming The social media platform officially joins the benchmark before market open, replacing AvalonBay Communities. JPMorgan estimates index funds tracking the S&P 500 will need to buy ~16.7 million RDDT shares - roughly three days of average trading volume. At Friday's ~2.9 billion of mechanical demand. The setup is unusual. Reddit is down 31%+ YTD and 42% from its September 2025 peak. Now a wave of passive buyers must step in - regardless of fundamentals. Friday's 13% surge was the pregame. Monday's 7.5% pullback to $164.50 was the profit-taking. Today is the main event. $RDDT $SPY $QQA $META

JP (@RealJayPublic) reported@Reddit_Retards I know for a fact that if this was reversed the Reddit mods with their god complexes would pull it down immediately.

Tanuj Prakash (@tanujprakash37) reported@cemnahit We just ask to scrape reddit and twitter to look for problems and then see how many people are looking for a solution
