SIR ALEXANDER (@SirAlexanderrr) reported2/ Check It Sells Before you build anything. This is the step that kills 90% of ideas, and it should. Paste to ChatGPT: "Search for where people with [this problem] are asking for help right now. Reddit, Facebook groups, forums, job boards. Show me 10 real posts from the last month, what they're asking for, and what they say they've already paid for it. If you can't find people already paying, tell me straight and we pick something else."

Doug Righteous (@DougRighteous) reported@OMBReviews Now reddit requires login roaming. I'm actually curious how much their traffic is down.
-
Anise (@AniseLycoris) reportedReddit locking "Old.reddit" behind login screen and citing "anti scraping" LMAO it is clearly to push for de-anonymization with how they also added an undismissible login pop-up on a 30 seconds timer on non-old links

Sodiq akande (@SodiqAkand3766) reported@MicroLaunchHQ Still testing what works, but Reddit has been interesting for reaching people who are already discussing the problems a product solves. How are you getting yours?

mx (@richoffcampss) reportedBack to back 50k days. Here’s one of the easiest ways to never run out of ad ideas: Stop trying to come up with them. Read customer reviews, Reddit threads, Amazon reviews, TikTok comments, support tickets and competitor reviews. Look for the same problems, desires and objections coming up repeatedly. When you find a pattern, take the exact language people are using and turn it into hooks, angles and creatives. Do this properly and you’ll have so many more angles to test.

ART HAS NO ALIENS, Carmen ⁷⊙⊝⊜⟭⟬⟬⟭ 💜🔍⍤⃝🔎 (@cidorta) reported@Army_Connect . @RecordingAcad you need to put a stop to this type of narrative, even though this reddit is not moderated by your organization. This reddit doesn't help fix your reputation, totally the opposite.

Nikon Radish (@NikonRadish) reported@kafjing @one_byte_cafe Reddit has a good guide but STILL it won’t come home… I just wanna complete that market quest… it feels like all I do in the mines is hunt that down and get rocks bc I’m always short on them lol. I still need a coelacanth too but I want that dumb recipe first! 😭

Koustubh Lapate (@koustubh018) reported4 months ago, I had $0 in revenue and absolutely no idea how I was going to get customers. Today, 30+ people have paid for something I built. But the interesting part isn't the number. It's how different the journey looked from what I expected. When I started building firsteyes AI, I thought the hard part would be building the product. I was wrong. The product was relatively straightforward. Getting someone who had never heard of me to land on my website, understand what I had built, trust it enough, and eventually pull out their card... That was the real game. And honestly, I had no idea how to play it. I tried LinkedIn. Almost nothing. I tried different forms of outreach. Some conversations went nowhere. I experimented with different messaging, different audiences, different offers and different ways of explaining the product. A lot of it didn't work. Then Reddit started working. And it worked really well. I started paying attention to the kinds of problems founders were actually talking about. Not what I thought they should care about. What they were actually struggling with. Landing pages that weren't converting. Ads getting clicks but no customers. Founders who had become too close to their own websites. People getting traffic but having no idea why visitors were leaving. And suddenly, I wasn't trying to convince people that firsteyes AI was useful. I was finding people who already had the problem I built it for. That changed everything. Three Reddit posts alone ended up getting roughly: → 380K views → 180K views → 80K views And those three posts brought me 15+ paying customers. That was probably the biggest marketing lesson I've learned so far. You don't necessarily need more people. Sometimes you just need to find the people who already care about the problem you're solving. And then something else started happening. People began coming back. Some told other founders about it. Some paid without ever talking to me. And eventually... 30+ complete strangers had paid for firsteyes AI. We've now crossed $300+ in total revenue. That number might look tiny compared to the screenshots you see all over X. But for me, it's massive. Because every single dollar came from someone who had absolutely no reason to trust me. No established company behind firsteyes AI. No massive audience. No huge marketing budget. Just a product I built, a lot of mistakes, a lot of conversations, and a ridiculous amount of persistence. I'm still very early. I still have no idea which experiment will work next. There are still days where I wonder whether I'm moving fast enough or whether I'm spending time on the wrong things. But 4 months ago, I had $0, no customers, and almost no idea how to get either. Today, strangers are paying for something I built. And honestly... that's a pretty damn good feeling 🚀

Anarcho Tyranny Enthusiast (@orderenjoyer) reportedAn actually brave parody would be taking down something like Fortnite for being an endlessly monetizable corporate safe-world where IPs harmlessly prance around, a perverted sandbox where nothing is created and no actual experiences are made. But no, we get Reddit At War.

DⒶⓋe Wright the Thinker 🦔 (@DaveWThinker) reported@luisjgomez Grok: X owns the posts. Worth watching, it's the only live feed anyone owns outright. Gemini: Google owned plus Search and YouTube. OpenAI: pays for it, but Reddit, news sites, stock photos. Claude: watches people work. Claude Code sees the whole loop, write the code, break it, fix it. They have a huge internal database we can't see. Meta: owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, and Meta AI is already inside all three. Not something they want to allow the public direct access to use. TikTok: ByteDance builds real models, but the best ones stay in China. I believe X is worth keeping at least a small eye on because of XAi.

Alexander (@alexanderzone) reported1/ Stop being scared to write. Just write. I say this to myself every time I sit down — short post on X, longer piece on Substack, or a Reddit comment. (Skip Instagram and Facebook comments. Those are for losers) I’ve been writing since I was 13. Fan fiction on a dead forum. Restarted books more times than I can count. These days I open the file once a month, add a paragraph, and close it. Almost twenty years later I still don’t know if I’ll finish “Useless” isn’t a bit for me. It’s the actual state I’m writing from

regeneratis (@regeneratis) reported@Protestia I grew up C of C, I went to their camps, I went to their colleges. I have family that teach in their schools. Much (95%)of the Reddit post is spot on. I’m no longer in that denomination (which like the Roman Catholics, they teach they began in AD33 and they are the only true church & anyone outside of them are not in a church & therefore hell bound). But there are some congregations not as hard core. Robertsons from Duck Ynasty fame are C of C. Max Lucado is C of C. The problems are MANY. When Somme begin to learn that C of C isn’t correct they begin to see all as correct and have no wisdom or scripture discernment. I could go on and on but I do remember when Dahmer was baptized. I was in college & word was all over campus that he was a church of Christ baptized believer. C of C is outside orthodoxy on many things , including work of the Spirit. They have a Pelagian view of the nature of man.

WaterPlant Guy (@WaterPlantGuy_) reportedLast night I posted a thought I had for a upcoming card show. I want to sell my Ohtani rookie cards all at once. Why not do a razz. I put it on Reddit and got drug! One person said “I’ll give you $600 for them”. I couldn’t believe it. So I posted one of the cards on eBay at an inflated price, a heat check if you will. I posted this card at 599.99, and have had offers up to $450 and people are pissed when I decline. So if this card is in the lot of 29 and you can buy a spot for $200 and are guaranteed a card. It’s not a terrible deal. Reddit is for nerds and the Ohtani sub can all jump in a fire

Lewis Brackpool (@Lewis_Brackpool) reportedTonight I was due to speak at an event hosted by friends of Restore Britain. Yesterday, a group of progressive Reddit users mobilised, lobbied Eventbrite to take the event down, and hysterically contacted the venue, spooking the staff. I planned to speak about our pledges, why Restore Britain is needed, our investigations unit, and how people can use the Freedom of Information Act. I’m sorry to those who bought tickets, your money will have been refunded. The organisers are already working to reschedule the event. This is the kind of behaviour we will keep facing until we turn the country around.

Commonwealth Sentinel (@CwealthSentinel) reportedA criminal kept sending fake login pages to Reddit employees until one person clicked. That single login handed over confidential files, source code, and internal systems. It only takes one. Full piece in the thread below.

James (@jamescoder12) reportedHe said this is the feature most people avoid because they're afraid of what it'll show them and that's exactly why they need it. Digital Wellbeing is Android's built-in screen time tracker. It shows you exactly how many hours you spent on your phone today, which apps consumed the most time, how many times you unlocked your phone, and how many notifications you received. Settings > Digital Wellbeing & Parental Controls. "He checked his Digital Wellbeing dashboard for the first time. He'd spent 4 hours and 37 minutes on his phone that day. Instagram: 1 hour 48 minutes. TikTok: 52 minutes. Reddit: 41 minutes. He unlocked his phone 127 times. He received 243 notifications. He stared at the numbers for about 30 seconds and said, 'That can't be right.' It was." But Digital Wellbeing isn't just a guilt machine. It includes tools to fix the problem. App Timers: set a daily time limit for any app. When you hit the limit, the app grays out and becomes inaccessible until tomorrow. Focus Mode: select distracting apps and silence them with one tap. They can't send notifications. They can't be opened. Bedtime Mode: at your scheduled bedtime, the screen turns grayscale and notifications go silent. Wind Down mode gradually dims the display. "Most people know they waste time on their phone. They just don't know how much. Digital Wellbeing shows you the number. Then it gives you the tools to change it. Most people never open either one."

Wny Poker (@wnypoker) reportedReminder, this is what the reddit moderator team looks like.... This is who banned you and this is why they aren't worth talking to anymore. Just let them rot in their own little walled in hellhole and remember that only 60% of they/thems will avoid killing themselves in the next couple of years anyway.... It really is a self correcting problem

Roovka (@RoovkaOmeneye) reported@VyralN @Windatar01 @Fubgun The real issue is the mentality this loser cultivates. People have to compare to him despite him only getting his currency through abuse and exploits. There's no current exploit so his only action left for views is to cater to the babies on reddit who cant even beat the campaign.
