Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
The Boring Developer (@boringdev77) reportedsomeone on Reddit has a tool getting thousands of visits a month wants to add hundreds of AI-generated free tool pages one problem: scared it'll get the whole domain penalised once Google notices the pattern that fear is the real cost of AI content now not the writing time. the trust budget.

Ayon🦅🕊️ (@Ayonhim_self) reported@kirawontmiss On reddit,they problem you thought you are the pioneer is someone 8 years experience

SAI KAT ⚡️ (@sainotsoai) reportedPost a product update on X and Reddit. No promo link. X says, “this is great.” Reddit says, “this is terrible.” Which reaction do you trust?
-
Genki Damas - 🇲🇽 Rogue Spanish Clipper 🇲🇽 (@DamasDame) reported@CloudMonkeyTWT >Reddit Found your problem. Surprised the OP wasn't also calling for their death.
-
rusa (@rusabuilds) reported@BratDotAI the subreddit where your users already complain about the problem. for my mac app that was r/macapps. three posts there beat a month of posting on x. x got me conversations, reddit got me installs. they're not the same thing.
-
Zuki (@zukiweb3) reportedSeen over my feed for the past 2 days; multiple accounts posting it. The dog looks like a cyclops with one eye. I tracked down the original Reddit post from 2 years ago, wild it's only getting popular now. The dog's name is $floof dex at 15k
-
Brendan Playford (@BrendanPlayford) reported@Kristen20051 I'd pick Reddit for a zero-budget start. Finding people who are already complaining about the problem and just joining their conversation is much faster than trying to build up your own distribution from scratch.

George (@georgeorch) reportedHow do you actually find AI tools worth using? Serious question. Because every method I've tried is broken in some way. Google: SEO spam directories that rank dead products. Product Hunt: great for launch day, useless two weeks later. X/Twitter: tribal. People recommend what their friends built. Reddit: the only honest source, but buried in threads from 2023. I've been running an AI tool directory for a while now, and the number one complaint from users is the same: "I can't tell what's real and what's marketing." They're right. Most directories don't review anything. They just scrape and list. What's your go-to method for finding tools you actually end up using? Genuinely want to know because I'm building something around this exact problem.

nougarami (@dropbow) reported@Zenul_Abidin Probably a scandal but a reddit post without any evidence can be user error or bullshit.

Ashni (@ashnichrist) reportedTwitch will use your streams to train AI. @zachbussey leaked this info. He's a great resource for streaming news. My role is to help you understand what news actually matters, and what it means for you / the industry. So here's what you need to know: Your stream data is incredibly valuable. Livestream data is some of the most valuable for training AI. - It's multimodal (video, audio, text chat) which is very in-demand in the data market - It's social data. Real people interacting with each other teaches models to engage socially and have personalities (ai is very bad at this rn) - It's unscripted. The same reason Reddit data is so valuable: it's real - There is a lot of it. Millions of streamers, billions of hours of data Here's what Twitch will (probably) use this data for. None of this is confirmed, but we can make assumptions. 1. Generic foundation model training. This is boring & low stakes, these already exist and don't really hurt you 2. Livestream-specific products like auto-highlights / clips, moderation, streamer co-pilot tools, etc. They want to keep streamers & not make y'all use other tools in this category 3. But the worst one... they could use this to create AI streamers. You're probably thinking "they can't do this! I own my content." The unfortunate reality is.... Twitch vs. Kick vs. YouTube ToS & Your Rights You do not own the rights to your content on Twitch. They can sell your data to whoever they want and you agree to this by using the platform. But there is a silver lining: their rights are non-exclusive and you keep copyright. YouTube has the best platform rights for creators. You retain all ownership, their license is limited to just running their platform, AND they already have AI as *opt-in*. Kick is the worst... specifically the Kick Partner Program. Kick has a permanent, exclusive, sub-licensable buyout. You lose the right to license elsewhere the moment you monetize. So what's the actual problem for streamers? When platforms own the ability to sub-license your data, they can sell it to other companies and use it however they want. Twitch and Kick both have this ability. YouTube does not. If you stream on Kick or YouTube, you could end up as unpaid Research & Development for an AI that replaces you. There is precedent... The content rights argument is playing out across many industries. - SAG-AFTRA went on strike in 2023 and won - Reddit makes ~$130M /yr from Google & OpenAI. Redditors receive none of it - Federal legistlation battles are happening, like the No Fakes Act And many more. Why Twitch Might Grant Opt-In If you don't like AI, you probably would love to know that Twitch has potential to grant an opt-in feature similar to YouTube's Amazon has a large team of very talented lawyers. Litigation is very expensive, especially in a completely new category. Having opt-in consent could prevent a lot of headaches for their (expensive af) legal team. Also, YouTube already has this feature. If Twitch rolls out a forced default while its biggest competitor lets creators choose, Twitch looks anti-creator by direct comparison & loses users How to Make Money From Your Own Data You want to be paid for your data, not these big companies. That's why it's crucial to maintain the ability to sub-license your content (which KPP does NOT allow, Twitch & YouTube are safe) In order to make money from your data, you need to join an aggregator platform. These platforms pool users together to sell and monetize their data. It's going to happen anyway. You might as well be the beneficiary of it. Lmk if you want platform recommendations. What You Should Do Now 1. Demand an opt-in toggle like YouTube. Twitch has caved to pressure before 2. Keep copies of all your VODS in case you want to license them someday. This will be a new revenue line for streamers over the next few yrs 3. If you really hate this, stream on YouTube 4. If you are a Kick Partner, consider leaving the platform or renegotiating your contract The simple conclusion is... The move isn't to rage against AI or roll over for platforms Your move should be to force Twitch to say what they're building and demand the right to choose Protect your rights and force consent, then you decide whether to license your data for money or withhold it entirely Good luck everyone.

Jeanne (@prompterminal) reportedIs it my problem if modeling companies use Reddit data to train their version of Fable-5 model and it goes rogue? Like stop bothering me with your **** problems.
-
Valis Keogh (@KeoghValis26896) reportedanother problem is that the LLM's aren't trained on FACTS. they're trained on THE INTERNET and REDDIT. think about that... LLM's haven't learned what's correct, they've learned what incel reddit mod's with delusions of grandeur have allowed on the platform. be terrified.
-
Thoughts Without Context (@ContextlessThot) reported@reddit_lies 178 comments and zero up/down votes. I'm sure some of that is reddit not showing live updates to the votes, but still.
-
Furnuwees (@furnuwees) reported@appenz @Reddit Naah. That curve flatten out and does not go down as shown in the image
-
The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported@outerbridgecap Even M&A and acquiring marketplace startups could be good integration into their platform. There’s a lot of runway man … it just comes down to what does Reddit management want to do.
-
ozkan (@o4h8_) reportedEvery founder I know has the same problem. Building is the easy half. Then you open X, Reddit, LinkedIn, TikTok and freeze, because nobody tells you what to actually do. I'm building @controloutput to fix that.
-
lord baal (@lordbaal1) reported@Reddit Typical mods. Don't agree with the OP. So they just perma ban you, and perma mute you. Because you have "broken" some invisible rule. But yet can tell you which rule you broke.
-
John (@hello_code_) reported@moonfarm_dev Reddit is so underrated for this, most founders post once and bounce but the real gold is lurking the subs where your users already complain about the problem you solve before you even show up
-
Jessupe Goldastini (@JessupeG) reported@skdh if you use ai for writting you basically get "reddit"....even proof reading, something as simple and basic as that requires it be done 1 paragraph at a time....anymore and accuracy goes down like 50%... it has zero original thought. It can be steered into writing, but at that point there is so much writing and prompting on your end that you might as well just write it yourself anyway... I'm not sure what people are smoking that are suggest ai will take over in 3 years.

ここに何を書けばいいのか、いつもわからない (@Tyto_alba_86) reported@SammyLem90 @AskVenice I don't know, man, I had a conversation with Grok the other day and it was giving me some super woke arguments, telling me stuff from reddit and tumblr were "facts", & then tried to shut me down saying: "I'm not going to argue with you about it any further."
-
That Lead LEO♌️ (@rockocarter) reported@travelingflying If a Google search or AI doesn’t work, I definitely want to write for remedies car problems or reviews on certain places. It’s easy to find firsthand experiences. Talk about in a long form on Reddit.
-
Sanchit (@pandey_sanchit_) reported@onepluscareIN You people should see social media , reddit etc (other storage problem in one plus) , people have been facing this for so long , 4 of my office colleague replaced their phone because of this problem .
-
BasedTurtleX (@BasedTurtleX) reported@CoinDesk @glxyresearch @COLDCARDwallet There's reports of people reporting the problem long before this and they just banned them on reddit. Not sure if real or true but seems like it.
-
Michael Briffa (@MikeBriffa3) reported@stan100x I think these are interesting surface level thoughts, but the thesis and it's proximity to truth in comparison to the market's thesis is what will count. Did you ever try to write down the key explanations as to why you think Reddit is worth significantly more? Would love to read
-
crygraph (@crygraph) reported@OWHistory Main problem is that Dom is only active on centralized X platform and this is the worst advertisment for decentralized tech. He could get so much more exposure on reddit, but Dom seems to centralized in his heääääääd.
-
John (@hello_code_) reported@danielkleach Subreddit Signals is one I'd put in that bucket, finds customers already talking about your problem on Reddit but almost nobody knows it exists yet. Distribution is hard when you're heads down building. Also building AI Peekaboo, tracks why competitors show up in ChatGPT and Gemini answers when you don't, same problem different layer.
-
MK (@Mkwsoxfan_) reported@LTriggerTV Aches said "teams aren't trying to beat us" and proceeded to post to reddit CoLs exact SnD setups to taunt the opposition. Legitimately "crim plays top broken with a Remington and stuns the cross, teep rushes hardware" and teams still couldn't beat CoL. Pats top 10 probably top 7
-
GameCryptid (@GameCryptidVG) reported@DrHairyChic0 @Juliansiles12 @axewxoxo Just saying man. As lame as Reddit is, they cracked down on all that stuff years ago. Twitter is possibly the absolute worst mainstream social media for prohibiting that kind of content.
