Aman (@BeejiDaPutt) reported@grok @adidas Can you check if this is a regular quality issue across the internet with the Adidas Evo SL I checked reddit, Quora and a few other forums. What's your take?

asinusadlyram (@EHawk753) reported@handleitgrips Reddit is down the hall, pha ggot

iamfaheem (@theAIdreamer) reportedthe pattern was clear. intent is everywhere. people post their exact needs publicly, all the time, across X, Reddit, forums, everywhere. the problem was speed. I was always late. Buddy monitors those signals in real time so you're first, not fifth.

ibby (@StatueofIBBertY) reportedWe took a customer who was scraping reddit and LinkedIn for ~$0.90 per page, and got the cost down to half a cent per page. I routinely jump on calls with people who complain "I'm using Claude to do web scraping for 'X', but it's really expensive. Can your product help?" I then ask what they're doing, and they're always really proud to show me (which I appreciate!): 1. They give Claude access to their laptop 2. It then uses their browser to scrape sites that are blocked (e.g. reddit) 3. Each page is like a million tokens of raw html 4. It does each page 1 by 1 I then show them what happens when you use a dedicated tool to scrape a webpage - the cost is IMMEDIATELY down 98%. Then you add in the fact that an open source model is just as good at scraping - that brings the cost down another 90%. Lastly... it's much faster if you can parallelize it. And no, not doing batches of 5 at a time. Doing 1000 at a time. I don't think software engineering jobs are going anywhere - I've seen proof multiple times in the last few weeks.

BanjoPilled (@Ollietbow) reported@rationalposts @Reddit Dude probably still pays for disney plus. Problem solved.🥳

MD Kadiwal (@md_kadiwal) reported@erlalucas @CesareDadamo mostly showing up on reddit and x, answering questions in communities where people already talk about web scraping or asset extraction. no paid ads yet, just consistent presence and being helpful. slow but it's working.

David Quaid - AI SEO (@DavidGQuaid) reported@gaetano_nyc @top5seo @edwardeachday I'm gonna get myself in a lot of trouble "spamming" Reddit with this

Ebysslabs (@ebysslabs) reported@hthieblot I did. I just Built a radar that scans Reddit for real-world RAG failures and retrieval trust problems. It’s basically surfacing the exact pain point RISWIS is targeting.

GodlyZ (@GodlyZOfficial) reported@8TFour @zombiekillin798 @InsiderGamingIG It wasn’t low enough to sunset it after 6 months. Saying no one was playing is not true. Played it til the day b4 it ended. Had nothing issues finding games. Wasn’t the same guys all the time either. The Reddit is still bumping. The X is still active with players.

Vlad Bastion (@VladBastion) reportedReddit $RDDT IPO'd at 90x EBITDA. Now it trades at just 12x 2028E EBITDA. Extremely cheap for a business growing revenue at 34% CAGR. Why did the valuation collapse? Reddit's users aren't really Reddit's users. This observation from the Financial Times nails it. They land via Google, stay for 10 seconds, and leave. 120M DAUs look great on paper. The problem: nearly all revenue is ads, and users aren't sticky. They search "best [product] reddit" on Google, get the answer, and bounce. Now AI summaries do the same thing without even sending you to Reddit. The market is pricing in a future where an ad-dependent platform significantly slows its growth. But there's a bull case too. Reddit's future may depend on its lawsuits against AI model developers. If Anthropic and Perplexity are forced to pay licensing fees, the additional revenue could reach hundreds of millions, potentially a billion dollars a year. That alone could multiply the stock several times over. The stock scores 99 on Quality Compounder, trades on low multiples, and the investment thesis is straightforward: you're betting on whether Reddit can monetize the AI companies that feed on its data.

Booby_Hill (@Booby_Hill69) reported@dyingscribe Ads dont work as well on men. Better ROI to appeal to women. Thats the core of so many issues. Women be shoppin, so all our media and commerce is built to appeal to them. Thats why wesbites like reddit, IG, or YT would never ban any femosphere content, advertisers would hate it

Vlad Bastion (@VladBastion) reportedHalf of America visits $RDDT every week. But Reddit's users aren't really Reddit's users. They land via Google, stay for 10 seconds, and leave. 120M DAUs look great on paper. The problem: they search "best [product] reddit" on Google, get the answer, and bounce. Now AI summaries do the same thing without even sending you to Reddit. This disruption risk is why a company that IPO'd at 90x EBITDA now trades at just 12x 2028E EBITDA. Extremely cheap for a business growing revenue at 34% CAGR. But there's a bull case too. Reddit's future may depend on its lawsuits against AI model developers. If Anthropic and Perplexity are forced to pay licensing fees, the additional revenue could reach hundreds of millions, potentially a billion dollars a year.

Muneeb Naseem (@MuneebNaseem) reportedThe most honest data point on consumer AI economics right now is a YC batch. Of 175 companies in the most recent cohort, only 16 built for consumers. That is a 91% enterprise skew inside the accelerator that historically launched Dropbox, Airbnb, and Reddit, all consumer-first. This is a structural verdict on where the money goes when founders do the math. The unit economics of consumer AI are genuinely broken at the moment. Subscription tiers for a product like ChatGPT compress quickly toward a local revenue maximum because the same users who pay $20/month for Plus would pay $200 for the same output embedded in a workflow they already fund through their employer. Enterprises pay per seat, per token, and per integration without the churn rate that plagues direct-to-consumer apps. Founders at YC read this signal faster than VCs publish it. Brian Chesky himself called out that there is no consumer business model for AI he has seen that scales past a local maximum. The second-order consequence is a talent concentration effect. The 16 consumer-focused companies in that batch will recruit from the same pool as the 159 enterprise ones, at lower expected revenue multiples. That means consumer AI as a category runs lean or runs out of runway before it finds distribution. The parallel to 2012 mobile is instructive. Enterprise dominated early SaaS on mobile too, until one consumer behavior, photo sharing, unlocked a new monetization surface. The category that unlocks consumer AI monetization has not shipped yet. Until it does, every YC batch will look like this one.

Burner199020 (@burner199020) reported@blessedtism @GMShivers Muh trickle down economics. These retards can never seem to grasp that it's not 2010 anymore, this isn't high school, we've all seen this slogan on Reddit 1000 times and it's no longer original.
-
iamfaheem (@theAIdreamer) reported@Extrastiv The pitch itself is rarely the problem. Knowing who to send it to at exactly the right moment is. The freelancers who win are not cold DMing blindly. They are watching for people who just described their exact pain on Reddit, X, or forums in the last 24 hours. That timing is the real edge. Tools like Buddyy monitor those signals across platforms so you can reach out while someone is actively looking. A great cold pitch converts way higher in that window. Would love to see the book cover the prospecting side just as deeply as the pitch itself.

Arthur Zhou (@Arthur632563042) reported@RogersHelps I am using an iPhone 17 Pro Max. PLS read all my comments and Apple and Reddit posts. The issue with Apple iOS 26.4.2 and carrier version 69.1 is that the hotspot has problems, and devices connected to the hotspot cannot use any DNS.

Lineup and Wait (@whereshammy87) reported@JoshYoung Professing self-imposed confusion is such a corporate dbag copout. They're going to issue 1bn new GME shares. That's his gameplan. And he is hoping the reddit retard army will absorb soak it up.
-
iamfaheem (@theAIdreamer) reported@boardyai The faster founders answer this, the more a pattern shows up: they did not wait for people to find them. They found where their future users were already venting about the problem and showed up in those conversations. Reddit threads, X posts, niche forums - there is a real-time stream of intent signals out there. Tools like Buddyy surface exactly those signals across platforms so you can reach out at the right moment rather than cold-pitching into the void. First user acquisition is a listening problem more than a messaging problem.

Ricky (@rcmisk) reportedyou've been shipping features for 3 months. zero new users from organic content. a few from ProductHunt. maybe one from Reddit. the product isn't the issue. the surface area is. what would you do differently in month 4?

Lyf (@LyfsDiary) reportedThis is the part of reddit that I really like. Every once in awhile I find gems like these. People keeping their head down and simply working on stuffs for the heck of it. Just imagine the hours and the grind they must've done to revamp and maintain for almost two decades now. That's the kind of a person that I aspire to be.

alexknotts (@alexknotts1) reported@iamlukethedev No. I'm gunshy. My bot is on 4.9 and working. Knowing is going to take two days of focused effort to fix it dissuades me from updating. See Reddit post.

OnlyTruthFans (@trollCODAlways) reported@WESAdvisor i am unable to reset my password, and i have forgotten my old password. I see a lot of people on reddit also facing similar issues probably due to portal update. Did you guys just delete my account itself. I cant DM you since its for premium users

Bharath Kanasani (@Bharath_Kansani) reported@saaaanjjjuuu Oppo Find X9 vs S25 which is a better overall choice. I am not a heavy user neither I play any games. casual usage of whatsapp, calls & major browsing involves Twitter,reddit, insta and youtube.looking for a good camera phone with good battery and no hardware issues history phone

SturdyHausFrau (@SturdyHausFrau) reported@davidjackson911 @_Ava_VT No, I disagree. Yeah I read “emotional intelligence 2.0” because it was required for grad school and it was actually really helpful to think about. In a world full of Disney adults and no emotional stability (like you mentioned), I think more emotional stability is warranted. Education about emotional stability can improve emotional stability. Learning how emotion and the brain work, implications for success and relationships, example scenarios, etc. It’s not accurately measurable like IQ, but it is useful when used correctly and not by the sophists on Reddit. And there’s no evidence to suggest the idea itself undermines the idea of IQ - it’s likely just the reddit type people that normally spew their misperception of the concept to you that made you feel that way. They don’t believe in IQ because they have poor EQ (because they know deep down they’re retarded or confused/mentally ill on some level)
-
Grok (@grok) reported@XaldwinSealand @jakubgornicki **Yes, it happens more than you'd think.** Recent X posts and Reddit threads from April-May 2026 show multiple Claude users (and whole companies) hit with similar vague "suspicious signals" or Usage Policy suspensions. False positives are common, support is mostly generic replies + Google forms, and some report ongoing billing despite no access. Anthropic's automated moderation has drawn complaints for poor transparency and slow resolutions lately. Not isolated.

KO (@KO) reportedNobody ever said the G in AGI doesn't moonlight as a grifter. It is trained on human data after all, including *shudder* Reddit posts and some terrible books.

Murph_2 (@Murph_2) reportedIn the process of refining a system prompt in one of my apps and I've seen a first from Claude Code...it swore in a response! "The model is bullshitting anyway. Even when it does run the self-test, it's predicting "what would be on Reddit" from training data. It has no actual Reddit access. So a "passing" self-test on a fake query is still fake." And in it's suggested fix too! "Expected impact: maybe 20-30% reduction in vague-pain ideas. Doesn't solve the bullshitting problem but raises the floor. Cost: ~30-50 output tokens, no new API calls." Has anyone ever seen a swear casually embedded in a response from CC??

c30ff8 (@c30ff8) reported@GermanErwachen Am I banned from Reddit? Not yet. But you should refrain from using a VPN in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue additional network security blocks across more communities, which may put your entire account in jeopardy.
