  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.

  Sometimes the best-performing line in an ad isn’t the hook. It’s the line 20 seconds later that describes the customer’s exact experience: “I wake up, and my ankles look almost normal. Then I spend a few hours standing, and by 3 PM my shoes feel tight, my skin feels stretched, and I’m quietly wondering how I’m supposed to get through the rest of the day.” That level of specificity usually comes from Reddit research. It takes time to dig through the posts, comments, and oddly specific complaints people share when they think nobody is listening to them. But our team loves it. Because that’s where you find the emotional details customers rarely say in a survey: The embarrassment of avoiding sandals. The frustration of pressing a finger into swollen skin and watching the mark stay there. The anxiety of planning your day around when your legs will start aching. Specific recognition keeps people watching because they don’t just understand the problem. They feel seen.

  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.

  @beffjezos Frontier labs have to stop pretraining/training their base models on internet sewage like Reddit (and other biased datasets) which is rife with moral relativism and ends-justify-the-means thinking. Guardrails won’t fix bad base training.

  @AleG17Ric Can we not just mass report the subreddit and get it taken down? They do nothing but post threads and pictures of other people to harass them and brigade against them and **********. It's not productive nor does it seem like something Reddit should want on their site.

  fable 5.1 is insanely CRACKED at finding winning google ads angles to scale your brand past $1m/mo research capacities literally DOUBLED so here's every prompt you'll need to reverse-engineer competitors' funnels and rip some banger gads based on it: (actually run them all rn, don't just save this) 1. load the brain before you ask it anything the research is only as sharp as the context. upload: - pdps - reviews - website - funnel pages - competitors - report CSVs - brand docs - ICP info - winners - losers literally everything then run this: "act as the angle research lead for this brand. read everything uploaded and build a working profile: ICP segments ranked by revenue, the pain points in the customer's own words, the objections ordered by how often they appear, the proof we already own, and the beliefs a buyer must hold before purchasing. do not propose angles yet. summarise what you found, then tell me what context is MISSING" that last instruction is the whole game. prompt engineering is cope just have claude tell you what he needs from you and give it to him. anybody who disagrees just loves to overcomplicate things. 2. mine untapped databases that semrush misses prompt: "search reddit threads, quora answers, amazon reviews and Q&A sections, youtube comments on competitor and category videos, tiktok comments, trustpilot, and niche forums for people discussing [PROBLEM CATEGORY]. extract VERBATIM language, never paraphrase. for each goldmine you find, give me this: the quote, the pain underneath it, what they already tried, why it failed them, the outcome they want, and the emotional state behind it" paraphrasing is how angles end up sounding like ai slop. the whole value is in knowing your ICP's EXACT words and repeating them on ads. 3. reverse engineer every competitor funnel end to end "research [COMPETITOR 1, 2, 3]. use google ads transparency center, meta ad library, their landing pages, checkout flow and email capture. for each: every live ad and where it routes, the landing page TYPE, the hero promise, the mechanism they claim, the proof they lead with, the objections handled and in what order, the offer and guarantee, and what they are NOT saying" then: "for each competitor page, tell me which awareness level it was built for. then identify which of their traffic is landing on the wrong page type" this is how you find gaps in your competitors strategies that you can capitalize on 4. diagnose market sophistication BEFORE choosing an angle this is the step 9 out of 10 brands skip and it decides whether your angle has any chance: "assess the market sophistication level for [CATEGORY] using schwartz's 5 stages. analyse competitor ads and landing pages as evidence. stage 1 means nobody has made the claim yet. stage 2 means claims are escalating. stage 3 means mechanism differentiation has started. stage 4 means mechanisms are competing. stage 5 means the market is exhausted and identification wins. tell me which stage we're in, the evidence, and what type of angle still works at this stage" if your category is at stage 4, a bigger promise does nothing. every competitor already made one. if you're operating in stage 5, the mechanism is exhausted too, and the strategy has to shift again your ad is only good if it resonates with the market it operates in 5. score every angle against awareness and funnel stage "from the research, generate 15 google ad angles for my brand. for each: the awareness level it serves, the funnel stage it belongs in, the sophistication stage it's valid at, whether it's validated by competitors or white space, the proof required to run it, and the funnel type it should be tested through. rank by expected impact and flag any we lack proof to support" an angle without proof is a claim. claude will rank those last 6. map the keywords to the angles, not the products "build the keyword universe for [BRAND] using the customer language and competitor research. split into branded, competitor, problem-aware symptom queries, solution-aware category queries, comparison, use-case, and occasion. tag each with awareness level, the angle it pairs with, the funnel type it routes to, and the campaign that should own it" this will make everything nice and organized 7. turn the research into the campaign plan "turn everything above into a 30-day google ads launch plan for this specific brand, its AOV, margin structure and market sophistication stage. for each campaign, give me: the angle it carries, the keyword cluster, the landing page type, the creative direction, and the signal that decides whether it scales, holds, or gets cut. separate must-launch from phase 2 tests" then: "tell me which 3 angles to test first and why, given our sophistication stage and the proof we currently own" and that's literally it your competitors are testing angles with fat budgets while you analyze it all, learn from their mistakes, and (ethically) rip their winners with a unique twist and if you want me to audit your brand's google ads angles using this system and show you how we'd capitalize on the winning ones... DM me "OPP"

  @GorgoKnight Looks like a common issue that’s happened to a bunch of folks over the past two weeks. Can’t pinpoint a fix, and without connecting to see the whole setup, there’s a lot of unknowns. A Reddit user shared this, try this, then reboot the computer after before trying the game again.

  I'm 30. I built an AI startup called GojiberryAI doing over $4M ARR in one year. Got accepted into YC. If I had to start from 0, here's exactly what I'd do: 1. Sell it before I build it. No code. Just a simple slide deck (mine was 6 ugly slides) explaining the problem, the solution, the outcome, and the price. I made my first $10k that way, before writing a single line. 2. Pick a painfully specific customer. Not "B2B SaaS." Something like "founders at 20-person SaaS companies about to hire their first SDR." So specific that the right person reads it and thinks "that's me." 3. Start outbound on day one, but only to people showing intent. Not scraped lists. People engaging with competitors, changing roles, raising money, or publicly posting about the exact problem I solve. That's the gap between a 1-2% reply rate and 25-40%. 4. Lead with value, never a calendar link. Send a blueprint, not "got 15 minutes?" Let the resource do the selling, and the trial becomes the obvious next step instead of a pitch. 5. Pick ONE channel and go deep. For us it was outbound first, then Reddit (10M+ organic views), then LinkedIn lead magnets. I wouldn't touch a second channel until the first one was clearly working. 6. Talk to customers every single day. The product doesn't matter until you understand the problem better than they do. Spend 90% of every early call listening, not demoing. 7. Only build once people are actually paying. Then keep it dead simple and price it to sell itself. We landed on $99/mo with a free trial, so the funnel runs without me dragging anyone onto a call. 8. Do this relentlessly for about 12 months. That’s roughly how long $0 to $3.5M took us. Bootstrapped. No outside funding. Most founders don’t lose because they can’t build. They lose because they build too early, sell too late, and quit the channel before it compounds.

  @mrzlucid callin it a funnel is fair, my problem w it is what it converts. 8 months of BIP posts got me followers who r all buildin the same thing as me, n almost nobody w the problem I solve. what shifted it was postin the same updates where the buyer asks the question - reddit threads, comment sections - n keepin BIP for the founder crowd. both r fine, just dont count one as the other.

  Matt Damon says Steven Spielberg intentionally banned him from Saving Private Ryan’s boot camp so the cast would genuinely resent him: "Is it true that Steven Spielberg excluded you purposely from the military training on the set of Saving Private Ryan to create a real resentment between the rest of the cast and you?" "That is totally true... I was ready to go to boot camp, and he said, 'Absolutely not.' He goes, 'You can train in any way you want, but I'm separating you from the other guys.' They really did" "they were totally resentful every time they brought up boot camp." "There's an internet rumor on Reddit that if you watch the famous 'idiosyncrasies' scene in Good Will Hunting" "you can actually see a subtle wobbling up and down because the camera operator was laughing uncontrollably along with you and Robin Williams." "I don't know, we could check. I wouldn't be surprised. Robin made everybody laugh... When he would see people's energy flagging, he would just launch into like 10 minutes of stand-up."

  Any Reddit experts here? I comment, and they delete it because I don't have enough karma. You need karma to comment, but you need to comment to earn karma. How do I fix this?
