  Denis Yurchak (@denisyurchak) reported 2 minutes ago

  It's becoming super annoying: Claude refuses to generate Reddit comments for me (because promotion is lying), refuses to create SEO content (marketing = lying), and refuses to install programs that weren't downloaded from official sources (stealing) It feels like I'm paying $200/mo for a woke personal assistant that is always on the verge of reporting me to the authorities The problem is no other models come close to what Claude does in reasoning, browser control, and coding, but I hope they catch up soon One mitigation I found is that if you manage to convince it to do something edgy once, and keep writing into the same chat, it won't ***** around anymore

  𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐒, 𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐏 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒 I just had someone blast me in my DMs with “I can find someone cheaper on Fiverr” after I reached out to him And it's crazy to me how many people don't realize what a quality removal actually requires when there's real money and reputation on the line Because first off, a failed removal attempt can sometimes create more attention around the content you're trying to get rid of Especially when someone is trying to blackhat their way into removing it, which is what a lot of these cheap plugs rely on I've even seen cases where a business owner got called out by a forum moderator because the site notified the moderator about what was happening Now add AI-powered moderation, automated detection, stricter platform policies, and increasingly sophisticated abuse detection... Removals, suppression, and reputation protection are becoming more technical every year This is where a huge part of our investment goes Making sure we have the legal, technical, data, and operational infrastructure to handle these cases properly and move quickly when the situation allows it Every week, I take on clients who already tried 1, 2, sometimes even 5 other agencies before coming to us Some didn't know who to trust Some had budget issues And some were simply desperate enough to try anything that promised a solution But they almost always end up coming to us when they realize the problem requires more than another guy with a laptop and a Fiverr profile… …OR worse, some anons on TG, FB, or X/Twitter Here's what goes into serious removal work: 1. We have a legal team that can properly represent you as a client and support the appropriate legal routes when the situation calls for it Without proper legal backing, you're often left trying to convince a platform or publisher to care about your problem with nothing substantial behind the request 2. We have established insider relationships and know who to contact when a legitimate escalation needs to happen That doesn't mean bribing employees or breaking platform rules It means knowing the right channels and having relationships that can help legitimate cases move faster 3. We've accumulated years of insider data, case intelligence, and removal outcomes So when a new case comes in, we're not starting from zero We can reference patterns, platforms, publishers, previous outcomes, and specific circumstances that can help determine the smartest path forward 4. Our tech team covers practically every technical phase involved in removals and takedowns Because sometimes the problem isn't simply getting one URL removed You have to understand how the content was published, indexed, duplicated, distributed, connected, and potentially resurfaced 5. We have advanced infrastructure for monitoring, protection, and tracking That means we're able to see more of what's happening around the problem and understand the context before taking action And context matters… Because blindly attacking a piece of content without understanding the ecosystem around it can create unnecessary problems Now compare all of that to the $100-$300 removal plug recommending themselves in Facebook groups… …With questionable online presence …Almost no verifiable track record …Little understanding of the legal side …Limited technical resources ..And sometimes your case becomes their experiment Get what I mean? That's where things can get expensive… You can waste weeks You can burn some money You can alert the publisher or moderator You can make the content harder to deal with And in some cases, you can create an entirely new problem while trying to solve the first one SO if you're a founder, creator, professional, or business owner dealing with defamatory articles, unfair reviews, Reddit threads, harmful videos, or other negative content... Don't hand the problem to whoever offers the cheapest quote You want the problem solved properly so you can get back to building, selling, scaling, and operating without constantly looking over your shoulder And if you refer someone to us, we have commissions ready for qualified referrals DM me and let's see what we can do 📲

  An engineer got so tired of decoding Claude's writing that he built a plugin that translates it into plain English. 2.3K upvotes on Reddit say he's not alone. It's called claudish-to-english. He tried simplified-English instructions first, even the aerospace writing standard. Didn't change much. So he solved it the 2026 way, by pointing a second AI at the first one. A Claude Code hook catches each finished message over 200 characters and sends it to a local model running through Ollama. The model rewrites it in plain language and appends an "In plain English:" block under the original. Claude never sees the rewrite, and the transcript keeps the original text. The engineering is more careful than the joke suggests: Fails open. If Ollama is down or the call times out, you get Claude's normal output. The plugin cannot eat an answer. The rewriter runs on your machine, and your conversation never leaves it. An optional second hook rewrites Markdown files on disk. Off by default, opt-in per directory. He got annoyed enough to build it, and it holds up. The fix for AI writing turned out to be more AI, running on his own laptop.

  Just For Dogs (@forbetterfordog) reported 10 minutes ago

  Matt Smith didn’t think much of it at first. Small white patches showed up around Buster’s eyes and chin, barely noticeable on a two-year-old black Labrador who’d never had a health issue in his life. Vets ran the tests and came back with an answer Matt hadn’t expected: vitiligo, the same autoimmune condition that affected Michael Jackson, quietly attacking the cells that gave Buster’s fur its color. Nine months later, “barely noticeable” wasn’t the word anymore. The patches had taken over most of his face. Matt kept photographing him anyway, watching a black dog get slowly erased and replaced by a white one, sometimes losing patches of fur entirely before the new white coat grew back in to replace it. There was no treatment to stop it, no way to know how far it would spread, and doctors were clear on one thing: it wouldn’t hurt him. Just change him. By the time Matt posted the full transformation on Reddit two and a half years later, the internet didn’t believe it was the same dog. People assumed he’d swapped photos, staged it, anything but the truth, until they scrolled through the timeline and watched one dog slowly become another in front of them. The only thing that never changed through the entire process was his eyes. Buster never noticed any of it happening to him. He wasn’t in pain, never lost a step, never seemed to know his entire identity had rewritten itself one patch at a time. Somewhere out there is a photo of a black Labrador puppy that, if you didn’t know better, you’d swear had nothing to do with the white dog he is today. 🐾⚪⚫

  I ran a brand analysis for a store last week and the gap on the page was the whole story. They had a 4.6% share of voice across the AI platforms. Their products got mentioned. But their citation share was 2%. When AI talked about their category, it was pulling the actual facts from Reddit, Amazon, and Walmart. Almost never from the brand's own site. Their blog had gone quiet since Black Friday. So the machines filled the silence with everyone else's version of them. Being named is not the same as being trusted. Getting mentioned means AI knows you exist. Getting cited means AI pulls from you as the source of truth. The second one is what earns the recommendation. I track this on my own brand across 50 prompts. My citations went from 3% to 40% and my name recognition in AI answers went from 3% to 24% over a few months of steady content. I eat my own cooking here. The fix is not complicated. It is consistent, useful content on your own domain, plus a clean feed, so the model has a reason to quote you instead of a marketplace that does not care about your margin. Close the gap between mentioned and cited. That gap is your revenue.

  HOW TO QUIT YOUR 9-5 WITH A PERSONAL BRAND. (you don't need to show your face). PHASE 1: BUILD • Pick one money-making niche you gravitate towards. • Use Reddit to find a problem people spend money on. • Get specific about who you want following you. • Become known for one thing. • Develop opinions people associate with you. • Pick one platform (IG or Threads), get good at it first. • Study 100 posts that performed well in your niche. • Learn how to write great hooks and tell great stories. • Start collecting emails immediately. • Publish before you feel ready, no one’s watching anyway. • Post every day for 365 days. PHASE 2: GROW • Pay attention to what people save, share & DM you. • Turn your best ideas into repeatable content series. • Do content around what people need to believe to buy. • Remove one buying objection at a time. • Talk to your audience and learn what they’ll pay to solve. • Build a simple content → email → offer funnel. PHASE 3: MONETIZE • Reverse engineer the numbers that replace your salary. • Create a digital product using ChatGPT + Claude. • Sell it before spending months perfecting it. • Make your first $1 online. • Use customer feedback to make the offer better. • Sell more products to the same audience. • Raise prices when demand exceeds capacity. • Keep personal expenses low while you grow. • Reminder: revenue isn’t salary. • Don’t quit before having 3-6 months of cash. • Leave your 9–5 when you can repeatedly create demand. PHASE 4: SYSTEMIZE • Document anything you do more than once. • Automate what doesn’t need your judgment. • Hire to free up your time to do higher ROI tasks. • Build SOPs before you hand work off. • Stop being the bottleneck in your own business. • Make the business run without you. Want to build a profitable brand without showing your face? Check the comments for the system. It got me a 1.5M+ audience. All Praises to the Most High.

  the whole "reddit matters more than every other website on the internet for AI SEO" is so stupid that it has to be temporary. reddit is a terrible mess. it makes no sense for AI platforms to look to it as some credible source.

  @IntCyberDigest This is a bad move from Reddit. If logged-out browsing was explicitly supposed to remain unaffected, suddenly blocking users with an undismissable login popup feels like a clear step backwards. Reddit wants more logged-in users, but forcing people to create an account just to browse public content isn't the way.

  One more thing: don't manufacture Reddit conversations. No fake accounts. No planted praise. If people are complaining, find out why and fix it. Reddit is a research layer, not a manipulation layer. 10 /13

  My Reddit game is picking up. Been about 3 months since launch and I fix it daily The number has to 500 for the first payout for this metric. The key is getting a your subreddit to 200+ memebers. Then when people play it counts towards these totals. How would you get 200 subreddit users?

  Right now, at most companies, “figure out AI search” is being handled by seven different people who don't know they're supposed to be working together. -The SEO lead is commenting in Reddit threads that are ranking for key terms. -The community manager is building relationships in Discord servers. -The content team is publishing 'AI-optimized' articles. -The PR person is pitching stories to journalists (who get cited a lot). -The social team is chasing LinkedIn engagement. -Employee advocacy is asking people to share company posts. -Influencer marketing leads are hiring B2B creators to talk about the new feature roll-out. But there’s often not a single point person who’s making sure this work actually results in citations within ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews. This is the current state of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) at most organizations who’ve started this work: Head of AEO is a job that exists everywhere and nowhere simultaneously, scattered across a dozen job descriptions, measured by a dozen different metrics, optimized toward a dozen different outcomes. So here’s what happens. A company has purchased a tool for measuring and monitoring AI search presence…and stopped there. Or maybe they’re focusing on publishing new blog content on the company website based on their findings of said tool…but they’re not really sure what’s working and why (or why not). When the team talks about AEO performance or AI search visibility, it feels like marketers are hand-waving and saying a lot without communicating much at all. The problem is that companies are trying to solve a new discipline using existing infrastructure—when really, there needs to be a net-new role (or an overhaul of an existing one) for overseeing the work of AI search and LLM citation generation.

  It looks like $RDDT is doing some A/B testing with heavy logged-out users, hoping to increase logged-in and app penetration. Interesting that they stopped disclosing the login split right before trying measures like these. Reddit is still the only large social (besides YT) that you can browse logged-out without being heavily restricted… for now?
