Josiah Sutton 🌹 (@josiahwsutton) reportedwhen I was a teenager I was trying out reddit and I went on r/punk, and i saw a post where someone was asking your favorite punk band, and I replied "Say Anything", and I got so many downvotes that I had to make a new account because it would have been impossible to fix my karma

Subonekd (@subonekd) reported@Pirat_Nation If you check the Laptop Manufacturer’s page it clearly states the laptop is only rated for 2x16gb by the manufacturer. Searching, the computer can do upto 64gb, but only on certain compatible ram modules. Per the report the Ram Module was removed and the system booted and didn’t blue screen. Obviously the user purchased incompatible ram modules, which caused the issues. Best Buy 1, User 0, Reddit -1000.

Gorg (@gorsger) reported@No_New_Notes I just have trouble discerning the "Chapter 3 was weirdly paced" criticisms from the "Toby Fox is a hack and only writes reddit humour and the game isn't fun and also Kris is not non-binary" people sometimes.

Agon Aliu (@aliuagon_) reported@arthuryuzbashew @mediafa_st my acc got banned without any reason or warnings. what i believe was the issue; I am new to reddit and posted the other day. carefully crafted that post then reddit itself suggested me "post it to other communities to increase reach" and I did. posted the same thing in 5 differenr subbredits. post got traction and after 3 hours i just got banned. they seem to not even read appeals sent to them lol

Aaron Delasy (@aarondelasy) reported@forgebitz the moment I decide to double down on Reddit? come on now

Harsh Kapoor (@Harsh_Kapoor03) reportedseems like ChatGPT is NOT actually just stopping the Reddit citations but reducing them on the platform. which is a good thing, btw. Reddit has become this **** show of people coming over it and just trying to promote all of their stuff at once. Then getting banned for obvious reasons by the mods and complaining on reddit being the worst platform for marketing their thing. But here's the thing that not a lot of people think is the case, - Reddit is a community-given first platform You were never meant to get customers directly from Reddit, but mainly to build up the touchpoint to get a customer to your thing. I mean, if you just go to Reddit, join communities, talk like a human and drop hints of your product that just get into the discussion naturally, then that will just build a strong discussion thread with multiple keywords in the posts. Now all of this is used to be picked up by AI LLMs to promote and find solutions to people's problems. But even before all of this AI search and all, Google used to operate in the same way to cite your Reddit discussion link, which had the keywords, to rank on Google, which, btw, still exists. So even if ChatGPT is saying that they will reduce the citing, Reddit is also that one platform where you can truly optimise with keywords and still rank up on Google or AI. Yeah, maybe links might not be there, but AI search doesn't rely on links mostly, but the content that is there. Plus, the biggest advantage of this happening is that people will misunderstand this situation and start building on other platforms too, which btw, the next obvious choice is LinkedIn. because, after Reddit, LinkedIn gets cited even more in ChatGPT or other LLMs. I have dropped a few places where you can talk about your product in obvious ways, so do check it out. Rest assured Reddit is dead, it just got better to have quality conversations about your product.

Caresotin (@gotimestamp) reportedThe most counterintuitive Reddit lesson I've seen this year came from a robot vacuum brand. They didn't search "best robot vacuum" before launching. They searched: stuck, pet hair, mapping issue, WiFi disconnect, maintenance. That changed everything.
-
Murica Enjoyer (@Muricaenjoyer) reported@levelsio It was sourcing from Reddit far too often and was becoming the old “Google the topic with the word Reddit at the end” instead of sourcing from other places. They tried to correct it but couldn’t stop it, so they eliminated Reddit from its search function and now it’s down to 1%
-
Truth Mystery (@TruthAndMyst) reported@reddit_lies It wouldn't surprise me if Reddit was already populated by a lot of DARPA style AI bots long before civilian AI took off. Perhaps it became an issue.
-
Seven (@SevenWithTheT) reported@glassdaggerkidd My only problem with her is the mech, I think it looks really stupid being that open. It's not even about "buh protection" it legit feels like it's missing a part that would cover her. Someone on Reddit did a redesign of the mech with a lower plate and it looked fine as ****.

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)

Neeny (@ImaMfLady) reportedIdc bout them damn down votes on reddit. I said what I said. Lol

Repusurance - Reputation Management (@repusurance) reportedHere's the problem: AI doesn't see your brand the way your reputation dashboard does. It can connect: Reddit News Forums Review sites Blogs Social conversations Customer complaints One negative narrative repeated across multiple sources can become highly visible.

Amanda ⸆⸉ (@midn8makaveli) reported@musicfashionfin @sourgutsgsil You're right, because reality is likes on twitter and ttk push by your algorithm and a reddit page with a million of sickos obsessed with her... tour numbers, album sales, streets shutting down when she leaves the house because people want to see her, none of that means anything
-
Kalai (@kalaiselvan054) reported@_techibee They are not accepting it I have a post about this on OnePlus community and in reddit. In reddit my post crossed 11k views and last night was reddit account was banned. This clearly explains OnePlus is suppressing this issue, and they are aware of this issue

Tuff Ghost (@thriller_bark_) reported@dukebndip The Reddit sub r/SkincareOver30 got taken over by women like this and now you can’t even ask a question about Botox without a bunch of preachy women jumping down your throat with this stuff
-
Jake Mcmahon (@JakeMcm36986672) reported@kristakdoyle Everyone is panicking but it is probably a temp glitch. But if permanent. Sure, it decreases value of Reddit. But does not eliminate it. In fact, will probably make the signal on the platform better (remove a lot of the bad content) so ppl will use it for decisions *more*

Robbin Olsson 😈ム🪐 (@RobbinOlsson_) reported@Sclerfff @9rysdales I’ve literally solved issues faster and lower error rate than googling normally. I hate on ai like any reasonable adult but searching manually through forums and reddit posts make me more retarded that I already am
-
JOSHUA AJAYI (@RedditRizeHub) reported@HsanC_ Congrats on the first MRR! 🥳 That's a huge milestone. Now the interesting part is turning that first customer into a repeatable acquisition channel. Have you considered building a presence in Reddit communities where people are already discussing the problem your SaaS solves?

Cameron Petersen (@Cameron47516782) reported@AmrakSekushi @MHWildsAlert I saw this post on reddit and apparently they called the person joining a *** and left all together cause OP placed down a net trap

Chris (@everestchris6) reportedi made $1,000/day off reddit doing this manually this is the version where the whole process runs on an agent - monitor the subreddits your buyers are in - build a profile of who's actually in there - find the problem people keep asking about - build the product and put it live - find the threads worth replying to - get everything drafted and ready to post just wrote a whole guide on how you can set this up exactly:

TEDDY BROSEVELT (@THAREAL_EST) reported@teamyoutube For a month the LG TV YouTube app has been broken. The update broke the remote back/exit button. It now opens my TV’s app menu instead of exiting videos or menus. LG says it's not them & you overrode the button. Its not just mine, there's a Reddit page about it.

daniel (@buildingadlicio) reportedsearched 24 reddit threads and pulled 315 comments for a commission tracking product. the exact buyers barely talked about commissions, while sales reps and msp owners described the same trust problem constantly. we built the first message map from that adjacent group.

The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported@CiroDiMarzio03 @JonahLupton @jeichner5 How won’t Reddit exist in 10 years. Do people start deleting the app and not searching for Reddit content? It’s remarkable that in an AI era it is still one of the most searched websites and people continue to fabricate doomsday cases. They have a SEO problem. It’s not existential because they are under monetized. Meta does $120+ ARPU for US users. Reddit is hardly at $10. Do the math. That gap can bridge and Reddit has massive incremental leverage from a monetization standpoint without having to do anything. Reddit will continue to grow users (international). US markets remain tight. Not sure why you’re making up bear cases.

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

Coldloop (@coldloophq) reportedYour buyers leave footprints: - GitHub issue about the problem you solve - Reddit thread asking for alternatives - Job post for their "first SDR" - Building permit - Funding announcement ColdLoop reads them so you don't have to.

Sharty Supreme (evil) (@trashjuiceprism) reported@archer_uwu I'm like permanently ultra giga banned from reddit now but I have a couple old posts up detailing instructions to solve some obscure problem I had and I still get people thanking me in the replies like once a month. I can't imagine being so thoughtless as these people are.
