  @naith_kk @ZenIntro And rather self-snitch to Reddit instead of sitting down and talking to dude and possibly realizing that hey, our world view and desires in my 20s don't reflect that of when we were 14 and neither of us are happy

  So bad reviews are starting to come in for the Vault Breaker PvE mode and reddit mods are once again shutting down legitimate criticism. Feedback like this post would help the Devs make Vault Breaker better. Instead it will be silenced and deleted from existence. This person actually makes great points. Who wants to play a slow game mode with large numbers of enemies that are bullet sponges. Especially since you load in with garbage gear and no backpack. "Experimental" is a choice set of words. #marathonlives

  Will they actually have your back? This has always been the problem with what tech platforms pitch as “community.” Ain’t no one on Reddit bringing you soup when you’re sick.

  Format 5: The Reframe ("This is not just a dad ***. It's low T.") Reddit-style photo with red circles. Looks like a screenshot - Angle: Takes a socially accepted thing (dad ***) and reframes it as a medical problem - Awareness: Problem aware, it manufactures the problem awareness - Why ugly works: It reads as information, not selling. Pattern interrupt Learning: Highest-leverage move in a saturated market is reframing an accepted reality into a problem only you solve

  Disorganized thoughts re: Pangram-on-every-feed: (I am a fan of this substack move and want to riff on other ideas / think out loud) * Slop on the feed went up because the cost of producing slop went down, but the rewards of ****** content are close to the rewards of actual content, so there's now a huge incentive to post slop / slopposters outcompete. * &&& I am interested in this question &&&: What are the levers we can pull on a platform level now that the cost to produce slop went down? Pangram is about verification, but are there other levers? * I observe as levers: Reputation; Reward; Moderation * One big obvious lever is reputation— * Many posters on X have a policy of insta-blocking people who post slop and committing to not posting slop themselves (e.g. @johnloeber posted a thing about this). * This is only possible and only makes sense when (1) protecting reputation is valuable (2) blocking is effective (i.e. they won't just make another account). * Perhaps one way of dealing with slop is to yank on the reputation lever. Increase the value of reputation by e.g. making the follower-poster relationship matter more, or have platform-wide karma / reputation, or make it more visible, or something. Maybe there's a world where you don't even need something like Pangram because a community-based method like community notes -> reputation suffices. * You know who your favorite X posters are but nobody remembers individual reddit posters anymore (goodbye ****** watercolor, unidan era). So blocking people like that on reddit doesn't work. * Account cycling as a response means that adding some cost to identity creation matters. Phone verification, payments, or things like tree banning - everybody joining a platform is referred by someone, and being banned nukes reputation on all the people who referred you and you referred - but this referral structure is tough for platform scaling. IIUC lobste[.]rs has tree banning. * A platform level difficulty with boosting reputation is that at some point you don't own your biggest posters, they own you - their reputation is so good, they can threaten to leave. So maybe that is a disincentive for platforms to yank on this lever. * The other big obvious lever is to kill the rewards to slop posting. This includes: (1) monetization (2) distribution (3) shilling * Monetization—Look, everybody agrees, monetization killed the algo on X. A huge problem for any content monetization scheme is that there is one media / payout market (we are all on the same hellsite) but multiple labour markets (the cost of living in India is lower than in the US). The consequence is that wage arbitrage means the people with the most to gain post rabidly + you get insane inflammatory content by people with no skin in the game. So one way to deal with this is to just kill monetization. I think that would work for X, but they're committed to it. Obviously it wouldn't work for Substack, for better or for worse. * Distribution—This sounds insane but just killing or kneecapping distribution would probably solve the slop problem. Just ask yourself intuitively, as a power user of X (if you were not you would not have read this far): is the slop post more likely to be the 1M view post or the 10k view post? Slop is a volume strategy - conversion on slop is WORSE but it doesn't matter if you reach MORE people. So if you kneecap the upside you kill the lottery dynamic and people have to care about conversion on the CTA -> reward on slop goes down. To be honest, I think that even kneecapping posts to like 200k - that's a lot of people still - would solve a lot. But in a world where a post can hit 20M, posters are hugely incentivized - for conversion, for followers, for ego, whatever - to hit that number. * Also, containing distribution would also reduce account cycling. We've all seen the 2k/2k or even 4k/500 accounts hit 3M views on some random thing. That incentivizes account cycling. The flip side is, of course, less "upswelling from the deep" of fresh content. * Shilling—Undisclosed ads, product placements, etc. Police that ****. To big N's credit they are cutting down on this on this website. It's obviously a federal problem. But platforms should take it more seriously. * Moderation is the third lever I see. Verification is part of the pipeline of moderation: identifying slop -> identifying slop posters -> banning / curtailing slop posters. How can we lower the cost of moderation? [* The upshot of Pangram automating verification is (1) the cost of producing slop goes up since you have to bypass Pangram (2) the reputational cost goes up since if you are like 90% AI 90% of the time that is perceived as less valuable] * So Pangram is the verification piece. There are also the usual network-level things of detecting botting, upvote rings, etc etc. Here I ask that perennial question: Why is it so obvious to users which accounts are slop and somehow not obvious to X? For example, there is a scam going around right now where people respond to a viral post with an account that has the same pfp as OP and similar name and replies with a scam link. This is so obvious and should be easy to detect (vis. sim. on the pfp + timing cues etc) but X hasn't done it? Ok maybe they do need more engineers, idk * But moderation can also be scaled - community notes - transitive bans - community ban lists - unfortunately I think that last one played out poorly on X and bl3ski * The thing we are dancing around here is - why do platforms not chop slop - because the mega viral stuff (2M-20M) is definitionally most likely to go off platform + cheap hits that get people to stick around - good for product growth - but we all feel, in our bones, that the hellsite is grating more than it used to - lots of value returns to lurking and posting like discovery, making friends, etc are going away - not clear that platforms are incentivized to care about quality when they can milk mega-virality for ads. Ok very long so I'll stop here. I think the main points I wanted to make are: * Slop is an economics problem not a content problem - i.e. hate the player not the game - i.e. as long as the cost/benefit equation favors slop it will be there - you can invest a lot into blocking spam but as long as the return to spam is higher than the cost it will be there * Automatic detection is just one piece of a broader moderation picture which is one piece of broader platform levers " " " " of platform level incentives * It is not clear to me that ANY social media platform now has the right incentives to deal with slop!!

  @TheElectionof80 @souljagoyteller While u may be “Reddit” occasionally and I am a nerd, I am, so far, not a vexillology nerd. My issue with this (although I also don’t like words on flags much) is that, since I am secular and atheist, I think this should not be on a flag and is also cringe.

  Every AI agent you're using right now works from what it already knows. Ask it what people are saying about a competitor's launch this week, and it can't tell you. It was never built to go and look. That's the wall most small business owners hit the moment they try to use AI for real research. You end up doing the actual digging yourself: opening Reddit, scrolling Twitter, checking YouTube comments, one tab at a time. It's slow, and it's the first thing that gets skipped when you're busy. AI saves you time writing things up. It never saved you the time spent finding things out. I've started using an open source tool called AgentReach that closes that gap. It's free, it sits on GitHub, and it gives one agent a single connection into the platforms your customers actually talk on: YouTube transcripts, Reddit threads, Twitter reactions, all through one setup. No signing up to six platforms, no juggling six sets of API keys. Ask it what a competitor's customers are complaining about, or what people said about their last launch, and it goes and reads all of it overnight. I run it before every first meeting with a new client. I point it at their niche and I walk in already knowing what their customers are frustrated with and where the real gaps in the market are, not what I'm guessing they might be. I do the same thing before I build any new product or service for myself. By the time I write the first line of copy, I already know what people are saying. If you're on Claude Code, install this today. If you're not, this is a good reason to start.

  i can build a full saas in a weekend now. shipping 10 products took me less effort than getting to $500 MRR with one. building is the part that feels hard. you're deep in code, debugging at 2am, rewriting features. but building has a finish line. you push, it works, done. getting someone to pay has no finish line. you write posts nobody sees, reply to threads that go nowhere, and wait. nothing happens for weeks. then maybe one person signs up. i spent years thinking i had a building problem. i had a distribution problem the whole time. if your product works and nobody's paying, close the IDE. open reddit and start talking to people. that's where the money is.

  @Rikkisan26553 @EndymionYT Nah, Reddit can be salvageable because it's useful for specific information, updates and more, the problem is the administration under Steve Huffman. You get rid of him alongside all the crazy admins and that should be it.

  So if you actually want to build passive income that works heading into 2026, here's the framework that holds up under pressure. Step 1: Pick a problem you've already solved for yourself. Not a niche you researched. A problem you lived. This matters because your credibility is baked in from day one, and you don't have to fake authority you don't have. Step 2: Build the smallest possible version of a solution. One PDF guide. One email sequence. One template pack. Price it between $17 and $47. Keep the scope tight enough that you can finish it in two weekends. Launch ugly. Perfection is just procrastination with better branding. Step 3: Drive traffic from one channel only. X, Reddit, LinkedIn, TikTok. Pick one. Post consistently for 90 days about the problem your product solves. Not about your product. About the problem. The audience finds you. The sales follow naturally. Step 4: Automate the delivery. Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, Payhip. Set up once. Connect to your email list. Now the income actually starts becoming passive because the system handles the transaction while you sleep. Step 5: Reinvest the first $500 into a slightly bigger asset. A short course. A membership. A more comprehensive guide. Stack the assets slowly. Each one adds a layer to the income floor beneath you. This isn't glamorous. It won't go viral on a finance bro podcast. But people running this exact playbook are quietly pulling $2,000 to $8,000 a month from systems they built 18 months ago. The gap between them and everyone else is just execution and patience. What's the biggest wall you've hit when trying to build something like this? 👇
