  @PrimeTopNews The Legendary Story: Tom Hanks is sitting at a diner in North Dakota having a beer. A few tables over, some kid is face-down, completely passed out. Hanks walks over to check if he’s okay, sees the guy’s phone sitting on the table, and can’t resist. He has the bartender snap a few photos of himself with the unconscious stranger — one where he’s looking concerned, one where he’s pointing and laughing like he just found treasure — then slips the phone back into the kid’s pocket and leaves. The next morning the guy wakes up, scrolls his camera roll, and finds Tom Hanks photobombing his hangover.  That’s the story that spread on Facebook, Imgur, and Reddit with captions like “Can you imagine finding these on your phone after a drunken night out?” What actually happened A fan ran into Hanks at a diner in West Fargo (Hanks’ niece worked there). The fan’s thing was posing with celebrities while pretending to be wasted. He asked Hanks if they could do it. Hanks said yes, handed over his glasses, and played along while a friend took the pictures. The original Reddit title was literally: “My friend met Tom Hanks, stole his glasses and pretended to be wasted.”  Hanks’ favorite version When a reporter asked him about it in 2013, Hanks gave both stories and then said he preferred the legend: “Well now, that second version is that I did just start taking pictures with a passed-out guy. I’m happy with this version, that it’s become somewhat of a legend. I wouldn’t want anyone not to believe that I am capable of turning up on their phones.” So the photos are real, Hanks really posed with a guy who looks dead-drunk at a diner, and he really used the guy’s phone. He just didn’t do it to a random unconscious stranger. The internet decided the better story was the one where Forrest Gump finds you passed out and photobombs your phone, and Hanks was happy to let that one live. @grok

  @LegalYookay on reddit the problem is "men" but never the culture where they're from

  @LilyRosey79580 yeah… lol I actually saw two people on reddit who had the same problem as me, but they were luckier, since theirs went back to normal. I think the best would be to do regular backups

  If I had to get my first 100 customers from scratch, here’s exactly what I’d do: 1. Cold emails Send 20 highly targeted emails. Lead with a specific outcome, not your product. No replies? Change the email and try again. Keep iterating until you get responses. 2. Social media DMs Find prospects on LinkedIn, X, IG, FB, Reddit, etc. Send a 15-second personalized Loom audit. Make the preview obviously about them. Give value before asking for anything. 3. Affiliate programs Find people who already have your target audience. Offer a commission worth promoting. Make joining and sharing effortless. Tools like @partnacdotcom let you launch and manage the whole program in one place. 4. Partnerships Find complementary businesses serving your ICP. Create a simple referral deal. Give them a reason to send customers your way. Start with 10 good partners, not 1,000 random ones. 5. Communities Find where your ICP already hangs out. Answer questions and solve problems. Don’t drop links everywhere. Become the person people remember when they need the solution.

  @ariaradnia The problem is sustainability, I don't think this is sustainable. I believe US DAUs decreased last quarter. Reddit is turning into AI slop machine, and that makes it less relevant for LLMs as a data source. I don't buy it that there is another huge contract coming their way. I don't like their product as a user.

  If you’re spending budget on GEO right now, this test may save you from putting it into the wrong channel. Today, my client gave us around 500 queries their in-house team was tracking, saying that they want to do Reddit. We narrowed them down to 50 representative ones and ran each 10 times, roughly 500 real ChatGPT responses in total. In this sample, Reddit appeared as a referenced source only 4.8% of the time, with zero direct Reddit citations. At the same time, we started seeing YouTube show up much more often for this AI category. And this is exactly why, for the clients we already work with, we don’t treat distribution as a fixed strategy. Also, e didn’t wait for the Reddit citation drop to become a GEO headline. Our daily monitoring was already showing the shift. Around August 5, we started noticing changes in how ChatGPT was retrieving sources across real user responses. We adjusted the client’s distribution strategy before the broader data came out. Later, public tracking made the change much clearer. ChatGPT Search’s use of site:-specific fan-out queries jumped from roughly 0.37% to 16.8% in a day, while the average number of searches per response increased from around 1.08 to 1.83. A few days later, Reddit’s tracked share of ChatGPT Search citations fell from a previous average of 3.83% to around 0.52%. By the time this became widely discussed, we had already seen the direction in our own monitoring and started moving the client’s budget. But Reddit still matters for reviews, community discussion and long-term brand presence. Before scaling content, we now look at: which domains AI is actually retrieving from which formats keep getting cited which sources are gaining or losing share how those patterns are changing week by week Then we move the budget. For visual categories, that might mean more YouTube. For another category, it might be product pages, niche publications or first-party research. The useful takeaway is simple: Build your GEO distribution plan around what the model is retrieving now. And ideally, you see the shift in your own data before everyone starts posting about it.

  @_kodiakinclouds This is why I checked out from it (and fandoms in general). This behaviour has been happening for years now, even in 2020 when Twisted Wonderland got released, I quickly noticed this issue. In the 2010s I saw it on Tumblr and Reddit, it made me actively avoid certain fandoms.

  WSJ says Gemini 3.8 Flash, internally called Skimaki, could release as soon as today. Google engineers using it inside Jetski reportedly preferred it to Anthropic's Opus in head-to-head coding work. That's an internal opinion, not an independent benchmark, but WSJ reporting it from employees is a pretty substantial upgrade from the X cottage industry leak-account chatter we've had all week. Reddit actually adds an interesting piece to this. People already using 3.7 Flash keep coming back to the same thing: not that it is magically smarter than everything else, but that it is so damn fast. I agree. One developer described building several semi-complex web apps and said watching it work was a “hoot” because of the speed. Another heavy Claude/ChatGPT user said moving to 3.7 gave him “whiplash” because of how quickly it could iterate through coding work. A model that's 95% as good but can take three swings while the expensive model takes one may actually be the better coding model. There are also Reddit posts this morning claiming Gemini is identifying itself as 3.8 Flash even though the model selector still says 3.7. I would ignore those completely as proof. Asking an LLM what model it is remains the AI equivalent of asking a golden retriever who manufactured the dog food. Google's public pages still haven't given us a gemini-3.8-flash endpoint as I write this, so we're not across the finish line yet. But if 3.8 lands and independently backs up the WSJ coding claims, I think the story is pretty simple: Google may be turning latency from a product feature into an intelligence advantage. In agentic coding, the fastest good model gets to make more mistakes. And more importantly, it gets to fix them before the other guy finishes thinking.

  The biggest barrier to marketing on Reddit is the fear of getting banned. Founders want to share their product, but moderators or AutoMods take them down instantly. The pain point we focused on while building FindEvo was exactly this. We saw that dropping direct links doesn't work and ruins community dynamics. The right workflow is: first understand the problem, offer methods to communicate safely without getting banned, and then build an organic connection. A founder's real pain isn't spamming; it's making their voice heard safely.

  If you're using Reddit for SaaS growth, don't search only for your product category. Search for the problem people have before they know which product they need. “Looking for an alternative” “Anyone using…” “How do you handle…” Those conversations are much closer to buying intent.

  @Ironlilyart It's something that people often forget that I see time and time again, especially on reddit. Going "get five of your buddies to hold the knight down and kill him" is a lot more complex when the first man gets cut down, because nobody wants to be that first man.
