  @TemptInvest Most or Reddit users are redirects. Not many users natively go to the site! This DAU is a misleading metric. Issue why it went down so much is Google changed the algorithm and less redirects now are occurring. So buckle Reddit holders. It’s at a fair price now (maybe)!

  $RDDT Bear: Why don't they list the number of accounts in their earnings, only DAU's? Why the massive growth? How is this working? So, now I have to ask myself what is a Daily Active User (DAU)? Although I don't know a single person who uses Reddit, the market and companies consider a DAU a unique user who navigates to Reddit even if it's for a few seconds to capture the content a search engine provided. They aren't users with accounts, they're online nomads searching for information. FYI: AI Agents don't count as DAU's and there's safeguards in place to exclude those from the numbers. Because of this, advertisers see the DAU numbers and willing to pay for ad space even if it's to cater to an online nomad for a few seconds that have a click success rate of 0.3%. For every 1000 views, 3 get a click. Yes, advertisers will pay for this crazy ratio. Insane to me, but hey, I guess it works. What I'm trying to wrap my head around is if all of this content is being searched and presented to a ChatGPT or Gemini user in human readable form, why are the DAU's going up? Why are people still clicking Reddit links? - "Users" aren't coming to Reddit anymore - Gemini gives them the Reddit answer - ChatGPT summarizes the Reddit thread - Perplexity extracts the Reddit insight Reddit gets traffic. But it doesn't convert. People get their answer and leave. No signup. No engagement. No community. Yes, DAU's are growing Yes, revenue is growing But the question is still how? Something doesn't add up here. Hundreds of millions of everyday internet users still use standard search engines. Because Google explicitly prioritizes Reddit threads in its standard search results, millions of people still click through to Reddit daily, keeping the DAU numbers inflated. As AI use becomes more widespread, I see DAU's decreasing significantly. Even on the earnings call, $RDDT leadership said "search referrals were choppy" and Google’s AI Overviews are starting to intercept web traffic. Boom, there's your 25% stock plummet. $RDDT partnered with $GOOG in 2024 (3yr deal - $60M) allowing access to Reddit content for Gemini. and prioritizing Reddit as a source within $GOOGL algo's. That deal is expiring and according to CNBC, it may not get renewed. If those Reddit links are no longer prioritized and presented to Google users, how is this going to impact the DAU's? $RDDT signed a $70M OpenAI deal allowing access as well. In my opinion, Reddit is essentially trading its long-term traffic and core asset (human engagement) for short-term data licensing cash. Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) U.S. based users are worth $11.85 while international users are only worth $2.26. U.S. users only grew 6% while international user growth was 28%. I see a revenue problem here if they can't grow US users. Lastly, I just don't see it. I don't see how both AI search tools and Reddit grow in parallel over the long-term. To me, $RDDT is just a drive-by/pass-through website to retrieve desired search content and then bounce out; which is still good for advertisers hoping for that 0.3% success rate. I don't like its future.

  The other problem: every AI model has a different source diet. • Perplexity favours community content like Reddit • Grok pulls from social + Medium/Substack • ChatGPT leans more heavily on high-trust editorial and news sources GEO distribution can't be one-size-fits-all.

  1/ Twitter has a bot problem that Reddit just doesn’t have. I’ve used both, and the problem isn’t the posts.. it’s the ******* replies. Every remotely viral tweet gets swarmed by completely unrelated bot comments.

  🚨 “Diversity” just became a joke in the Australian public service. An Australian public servant has blown the lid off what’s really happening inside a federal agency. They posted on Reddit this week: “Over the last year our team of analysts got broken into silos and every manager of those silos is now Indian. Since then, the only new hires have been Indian from every single silo. Previously we had complete diversity… East Asian, European, central Asian and South American. This is really not feeling very diverse.” The post was quickly censored - but not before hundreds of other Australians flooded in with the exact same stories. Entire teams of Indian women managed by an Indian woman. Supermarket departments where an Indian manager arrives and suddenly only Indians get hired. Bank tech teams where colleagues speak Hindi at lunch so no one else can join the conversation. We get mandatory “inclusion” training every six months while one group quietly locks everyone else out. And this is happening after Albanese rolled out the red carpet for Modi and our major cities undergo massive demographic change. What deals did he actually make?

  @PretzelLXIX @Claire_DeLoon chapter 2 is great but id say the biggest problem with it is the over the top reddit humour it keeps trying to peddle and it just comes off as cringey and lame nowadays

  Ann B | Creative Strategist + UGC Creator (@generatedbyann) reported 18 minutes ago

  One of the biggest mistakes I see in paid ads is jumping straight into writing the script. The research is part of the creative. Before I write a single hook, I want to know: • How does the customer describe their problem?
• What have they already tried?
• What made them skeptical?
• What finally convinced them to buy?
• What words do they naturally use instead of the brand's marketing language? That's why I'm spending time in Reddit threads, Trustpilot reviews, App Store reviews, TikTok comments, Amazon reviews, and community forums before I ever open a Google Doc. Most brands already have thousands of free copywriters. They're called customers. They've already told you exactly what frustrates them, what excites them, what objections they have, and what transformation they're actually chasing. Our job as creative strategists isn't to invent messaging. It's to recognize the patterns hiding in plain sight and translate them into creative that feels like it was made specifically for the person watching. That's how ads stop feeling like ads. They start feeling understood. #ugc #ugccreator #ugccommunity

  How 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.

  @TeamYouTube An update rolled out 5 days ago broke the YouTube app on LG TVs. The Back button now forces the TV app menu open instead of exiting videos. Someone created a Reddit page about this and multiple people are complaining. It has effectively broken the YouTube app

  @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

  @leadlagreport For anyone not familiar with what happened to Coldcard, I had Grok summarize: Coldcard (stylized as COLDCARD) is a Bitcoin-only hardware wallet made by the Canadian company Coinkite since 2017.1 It is designed for high-security “cold” (offline) storage of Bitcoin private keys. Key features include: •Air-gapped signing options (via MicroSD card, QR codes, NFC, etc., so the device often never needs a direct USB data connection to a computer). •Dual secure elements from different vendors for protecting secrets. •Verifiable/open-source firmware that users can inspect and confirm. •Bitcoin-only focus (to minimize the attack surface compared to multi-coin wallets). •Advanced tools such as BIP-39 passphrase support, dice-roll entropy for seed generation, multisig, and more. It has long been highly regarded in the Bitcoin community as one of the most secure dedicated hardware wallets. What happened to it (July–August 2026) In late July 2026, a long-standing firmware vulnerability was publicly exploited, leading to the theft of a large amount of Bitcoin from affected wallets.3 •The flaw: Starting with firmware version 4.0.1 (released March 2021) on Mk2/Mk3 models (and carried into later models until patched), seed generation incorrectly used a weak, deterministic software pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) instead of the proper hardware random number generator. This produced seeds with far lower entropy than expected (roughly 40–72 bits instead of the standard ~128 bits for a 12-word BIP-39 seed).18 •Attackers could model the weak RNG offline (using factors like device unique IDs and timers), generate candidate seeds, derive the corresponding addresses, and sweep funds from matching on-chain wallets. •Impact: On or around July 29–30, 2026, hundreds of wallets (reports range from ~500 to over 1,100 addresses) were drained in a short window, totaling hundreds to over 1,000 BTC (valued at roughly $38–70+ million at the time).19 •The Reddit post referenced in the original X thread (“8 years of stacking, gone”) was from one such victim who lost 2 BTC held on a Coldcard.5 Coinkite issued a security advisory, released fixed firmware for all affected models (Mk2/Mk3, Mk4, Mk5, Q, and Edge variants), and advised users who generated seeds on vulnerable firmware—especially without enough private dice rolls (≥50) or a strong unique BIP-39 passphrase—to immediately generate a new seed on updated firmware and carefully migrate their funds.18 Updating the firmware stops new vulnerable seeds from being created, but it does not fix existing weak seeds. The hardware itself remains functional; the issue was specifically in how certain firmware versions generated the initial wallet seed.

  It’s just typical Reddit reductionism. At some point people started thinking it was intellectual to break everything down to nothing so they can dismiss what they can’t understand.
