tslataur (@tslataur) reported@matthughes13 I'm going to see if BTC bottoms on October 12th. I remember seeing some thing last year calling BTC top in October, an image of some reddit post and some mega cycle, it implied that the bottom would be October 12/13?ish 2026. I told myself, if this old reddit post is legit, then it goes down from here. That was early oct 2025. It only went down from there. I'm becoming more and more of a believer, as insane and improbable as it seems. If we are at a low early Oct 2026 I'll buy some BTC 🤠

LIKENG| REDDIT MARKETING (@patye91) reportedSomeone just messaged me after burning more than $1k/mo on Reddit ads with zero results. Her boss wanted numbers and she was panicking. I asked one question: "Do you have any organic reach?" "No." She said. She avoided organic because she thought her boss would think she wasn't working if she wasn't running ads. But here's the thing about Reddit — REDDITORS ABSOLUTELY HATE BEING SOLD TO. The only way to actually move product there is to Show up in the comments. Answer questions. Solve problems. Be useful. NO AD WILL DO THAT FOR YOU. The rule on every platform is the same: Start organic. Then pour money behind what's already working. On Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn — the comments section is where the real money is. So instead of investing your time and budget on Reddit ads you better spend hours every day to Scroll, Drop value without dropping the links. Stop buying attention. EARN IT!

George Hard R Martin (@maybedevnotkev) reportedThey sent an outside IT guy to fix my computer and he is exactly what you want your IT guy to look and sound like. I’m 80% sure this guy runs a forum and i don’t mean reddit.

Patrick Byrne (@PatrickByr47244) reportedI've cancelled my Premium Basic subscription because I was getting more "views" on the free version, and I have no interest in Veblen goods, prefering value for money. I tried my article about the bankers taking £40 BILLION of our money, on Reddit, "r/AskEconomics" and - guess what? It was removed on the grounds of breaching rule V. which bans "soapboxing" and loaded questions. Judge for yourself. I have made a few updates in the article, to better explain my argument. If after reading what I have said, you still disbelieve that the bankers could have gatekeepers across social media, preserving their "golden goose," that is your inalienable right: I would like to offer my first post, on a subject which has troubled me for several years. I have now constructed a paradigm which makes sense of the inscrutable UK economy, and it requires the visualisation of the UK economy as two separate and distinct financial entities, with two different types of money. 1. The general economy, the one which includes M1, M2, M3 etc. and which I think of as the main, or primary economy, where we spend money to live. 2. The other, secondary economy, is a banking one, where digital money is created with the stroke of a computer key, and none of it appears in the UK money supply figures, because there is nothing to buy in the digital-money-creating-economy. It is only when digitally created money is transferred, in the form of bank loans, mortgages or student loans, from the banking sector - where it was created - into the real economy of M1, M2 etc. that the money changes from being digital, to becoming real, and the money supply automatically increases to include it. I do understand that commercial banks operate in the real economy but when they create money there are strict financial regulations and accounting mechanics dictating exactly how this money is controlled and deployed. “Commercial banks create new money through lending, but they cannot use this self-created money to buy arbitrary assets, fund their own operating expenses, or purchase corporate buildings. When a bank creates money, it does so by simultaneously writing a loan asset and a deposit liability on its balance.” ChatGBT This is easy in the UK where some 90% of all financial transactions are cashless. Sometime later, when the loan is repaid in full, the amount recorded under "loans receivable" has, in the bank's accounts, been reduced to zero, and it could be said that the "created money has disappeared." This - to me - "myth," that the created money disappears, is a controversial one that has been presented to me as a fact (which I did not understand), and to which I have been unable to articulate a sound challenge; until now. The problem was, and still is, that the repayment of the loan has, indeed, cleared the original loan creation, but, those same loan repayments - which cleared the "loans receivable" account at the bank, have ended up securely in the same bank's deposits. The amount of the loan has moved from the primary economy into the secondary, or banking- digital-money-creation sector, and the rules, above, state that the money cannot be used to buy arbitrary assets.. Our clever banking forebears overcame the problem with a sublime solution. They created a "reserve fund" at the Bank of England, they even called it their "reserve account" and used it as a receptacle for all real economy money that ends up, somehow, in the secondary, or digital economy. The money held in the reserve account does not count towards the money supply and this effectively "hides" the problem of the permanent transfer of real money into the digital economy. And yet we, the taxpayers, pay interest worth £40 BILLION A YEAR to the bankers, ostensibly for keeping their money in this reserve account. If you ask AI who owns this money it says: “Since the 2008 crisis, the BoE created large amounts of reserves during quantitative easing. When the BoE bought government bonds, it credited commercial banks’ reserve accounts with newly created central bank money.” AI got this information from Hansard. But why did QE result in the commercial banks receiving £875 billion paid into the BoE reserve account? The following, are the words used by the BoE to describe QE on its website: “The money we used to buy bonds when we were doing QE did not come from government taxation or borrowing. Instead, like other central banks, we can create money digitally in the form of ‘central bank reserves’.” So, if the BoE created the money digitally, why did the commercial banks get credited? The BoE were buying government bonds from the Debt Management Office, which is an Executive Agency of HM Treasury, in order to move extra money into the treasury, to help pay for the Banking collapse and the Covid pandemic. These two quotes, one from AI, sourced from Hansard, and one from the BoE website are mutually exclusive, they cannot both be correct. Returning to the subject of this article, the "BoE reserve account" neatly resolves the problem with "real money" leaking into the "digital economy," and uses this fund to balance commercial bank accounts each day, a laudable undertaking, but at what cost to the nation. Your instinct will be to think, they wouldn't do this, but please bear in mind that until recently UK university "economics courses," including my own master's course, were teaching that banks used the money in their deposit accounts to make loans, the so-called "fractional reserve banking," this is simply untrue. Banks create loans with digital money and transfer it into the real economy as a loan. Why did the universities do that? What were they helping to hide? My issue on all of this is: why are we paying interest to the banks on digital money that doesn't exist in the UK money supply and which the owner cannot spend on arbitrary assets? Of course they can't spend it, it is in the secondary, or digital-money-creation-economy, you can only spend money in the real economy, the digital economy is for creating money and lending it into the real economy. Interest is to compensate someone for lending money which could be earning income from trading. Money in the BoE reserve account cannot trade. This is our money – we own the BoE - and it would transform the UK economy. We could, for example raise the tax-free allowance immediately to around £25,000 per year. With potential huge increases in UK productivity.

Shadab (@Shadabshs) reportedReddit marketing looks simple from outside. “Just be helpful. Don’t spam. Mention your product only when it’s relevant.” But even if you do that, Redditors can still bash you badly. I faced this while marketing CursorClip. I used to find relevant threads, genuinely reply, share founder journey type posts, and only mention CursorClip when it made sense. Still got a lot of hate. And honestly, after a point it became very demotivating. I slowly became inactive on Reddit because every post/comment started feeling like a risk. This is the real problem with Reddit marketing. If you don’t treat it like a system, you will do it randomly when you feel motivated. Then one bad comment, one harsh reply, one removed post, and you’ll feel like giving up. So what’s the solution? Either hire someone who understands Reddit deeply. You can find people on Fiverr or hire a Reddit marketer. But if hiring full-time is expensive, use a productized service like @ThreadRankHQ The reason we’re building ThreadRankHQ is simple: Reddit needs experience. You need people who understand: What kind of comments survive How to write without sounding promotional Which subreddits are strict What tone Redditors hate How moderators usually think When to mention a brand and when not to This is not something you figure out in 2 days. It comes from years of watching what gets removed, what gets upvoted, and what gets accounts flagged. Also there is one more bottleneck. You can’t keep mentioning the same brand again and again from the same account. Reddit will quickly start treating it as spam. So the safer play is: Use your main account for genuine organic participation, useful comments, and karma building. Keep your primary account safe. And let experienced Reddit writers handle the messy, risky, repeatable Reddit marketing work.

EditDotEXE 🐗🔧 KONTON (@EditDotEXE) reported@Slunch_Hunch Been the wholesome reddit internet creature for awhile, I feel like axolotls got this to an extent, and I've heard about it happening with Lamas in the past (which I vaguely remember.) There isn't a problem with the animals but people will just shove them into games just to advertise it, and all it does when I see one is make me think about how it was only added because of that fact.

DJ_Reticuli (@DJ_Reticuli) reported@CriticerX @clashreport @XFreeze I've never seen any evidence of shadow banning on here under Musk. I do see the same issues as most online communities where comment rankings are ordered by default usually by most popular, which has its own unfortunate feedback effects. Some places like Reddit, though, are worse

Devorshi Bhattacharjee (@DevorshiBh93761) reportedUnpopular opinion: Your MVP isn’t broken. Your distribution is. Instead of shipping v2.0, run this loop: 1/ Blast launch (HN, PH, Reddit, X, LI, YT). 7 days max. 2/ No traction? Rebrand. New name, LP, visuals. Same core. Relaunch. Agree or am I missing something?

Fawn (@fawnofstars) reported@MelTheRockQueen @estrodiol I'm guessing something "is reddit" if it doesn't help these people put down what they perceive to be "objectively lesser" or something along those lines. If it doesn't help them build up their veneer of faux-detached enlightenement/coolness, then, surely, it must "be Reddit".

CARRION (@CarrionCoreVT) reported"Breakfast non-perceivers" is a funny derogative that's entertaining to use, but engaging this heuristic unironically is amongst one of the most pretentiously Reddit things that you can do. Midwits have essentially boiled this down to a beck and call response where they think that they've owned you for not giving the textbook answer— you know, as if they themselves have any comprehension of said medium.

Mpumelelo Dludla (@DenyenDerbs) reported@its_sharky1 We don't need someone to be a good jackaler. We need a specialist at jackaling. I read a Sharks reddit post that highlight that we are dead last (URC) in breakdown turnovers. Getting a good jackaler is plastering over the problem. Sharks need open heart surgery.

Nick (@CoderciseYT) reported@wesbos I just don’t know where to go. Reddit is useless, IRC is dead, private discords either die off or become over moderated. X is alright some days and terrible others.

Wow, can you not? (@Wow_canyou_not) reported@imbratorX This is one of the main problems with reddit The first person to reserve the name of something gets full power over the communications of millions of people within that topic It's why it's an utterly dogshit site and I'll never use it again.

FaFaFa (@Millo4_) reported@kristof56083868 @blueprintprods @ForzaHorizon The long unpacking time could be my pc, but there were plenty of posts on Reddit about the error codes, from APUs to a dude with a 4080ti unable to open the game because "his gpu wasn't compatible" (error FHC201). I had to install older gpu drivers to open the game lmao

Which some did but not enough to kill the server

Infernion (@Infernionwow) reported@Mvqdh Where are you getting the ~14 MMR per day from in this Reddit thread? That's literally inaccurate. This reddit thread explains and criticizes the exact problem I'm talking about. Nowhere does it say 14 MMR per day? In fact, people in it say 10-15 per WEEK, which is ~2 per day.
