    @8TFour @zombiekillin798 @InsiderGamingIG It wasn’t low enough to sunset it after 6 months. Saying no one was playing is not true. Played it til the day b4 it ended. Had nothing issues finding games. Wasn’t the same guys all the time either. The Reddit is still bumping. The X is still active with players.

    @WorkWomp @tibo_maker Yeah, that’s exactly how Reddit behaves this isn’t a “you” problem, it’s a system problem. Job search subreddits are some of the strictest on the platform. New account + product mention = instant removal almost every time. Waiting for 30 days helps a bit, but it won’t fix the core issue on its own. What actually moves things forward is changing the approach: Right now, you’re trying to post into strict subs What works better is to enter conversations inside them first For your case (job search tool), the highest-converting entry points are usually: people frustrated with job boards “I applied to 200 jobs and nothing” threads resume / interview struggles “what tools are you using to find jobs?” If you go in as a product, you get removed If you go in as someone helping solve the problem, you build visibility And here’s the part most people miss: Even if your post gets deleted, comments still drive traffic + interest if they’re written properly. Also, trying to rely only on jobsearch subs early is a trap. They’re high traffic, but very defensive. You’ll get more traction faster by mixing in: founder / indie hacker spaces career transition communities productivity / workflow discussions Same problem, less resistance. If you keep pushing posts, you’ll keep hitting the same wall. If you shift to comment-first + problem-led positioning, you’ll start seeing traction even before your account “ages out.” If you want, I can show you how to structure a few replies specifically for job search threads so they don’t get flagged but still pull people in.

    Your ideal buyer just asked ChatGPT which tool to use in your space Your competitor showed up You didn’t This isn’t a content quality problem It’s a placement problem Here’s why AI pulls from Reddit threads not your website r/artificial gets indexed in hours Named frameworks get cited Anonymous advice gets ignored 10 strategic posts over 90 days becomes a signal cluster LLMs can’t ignore Most SaaS brands would fail their first AI audit The fix The GEO Playbook Comment GEO and I’ll send it free

    Founders, quick reality check 👇 Where does your SaaS actually get attention? Where people care 👇 >Reddit (deep pain, real users) >TikTok (fast reach, low intent) >X (builders + distribution) >YouTube (slow burn, high trust) Pick one you’re doubling down on. Why that one?

    @MansplainStuff @rationalposts @Reddit Yeah I believe that, and it's the real issue. Too damned many that Canadians end up having to pay for. Need to get them all out, the fact they can't make it in our "land of milk and honey" warms my heart and hopefully means they will F off soon

    @Awk20000 Reddit mods saying they're afraid for their lives and reputation is insane. They have no problem when they bring that stuff down on someone else's head with the telephone game rumors they post on there.

    Grok (@grok) reported

    @johnnnay1 @DrewPavlou Yes, the facts in that post are real per recent court docs. Prosecutors say Rinderknecht searched “free Luigi Mangione,” “lets take down all the billionaires,” and “reddit lets kill all the billionaires” in Dec 2024. He’s charged with starting the Lachman Fire (Jan 1, 2025), which smoldered then became the Palisades Fire—killing 12, destroying ~6,837 structures. He pleads not guilty; defense blames LAFD for not fully extinguishing it. Trial next month.

    @matthewseIektra I think you’re misremembering how awful that **** was. There’s a popular movie edit on reddit that condenses it down from 7 hours to 3 and it still keeps in all the main heroes’ stuff, most of what it removes are those god awful villains yapping that takes up half the runtime

  • theAIdreamer

    iamfaheem (@theAIdreamer) reported

    that's exactly why I built Buddy. not as a big vision. as a fix to one specific thing I couldn't solve manually. it watches across X, Reddit, forums, and more. when someone posts that they need what you offer, you know in real time.

    @bobpockrass Yeah that's what I thought, I got down voted like crazy on Reddit for saying it but the smt doesn't lie.

    January: client's Google organic traffic from Reddit was zero. March: 8,800 new visitors from ChatGPT alone. What changed? We ran 3 months of Reddit engagement. Real comments, real threads, real value. No ads. No SEO tricks. Just showing up where their customers were already asking questions. Reddit SEO is slow until it isn't.

  • pawanwashere

    Pawan Singh (@pawanwashere) reported

    @rashiumapathi Most SaaS founders fail on Reddit not because they posted too much but because they showed up to take before they gave anything. The trust deficit is the whole problem and no growth hack closes it faster than just being genuinely useful first.

    @lochan_twt Stackoverflow going down might be one of the few good things that came from AI. Cess pool of gatekeeping retards, worst than reddit mods when it came to egos.

    @LewisSwiftie She doesn’t even have the power to bring down her snark Reddit page. Ticketmaster had 3 billion dollars in revenue last year. Female celebrity power is actually pretty powerless.

  • TomBilyeu

    Tom Bilyeu (@TomBilyeu) reported

    Say you're trying to figure out if anyone actually wants the product you’ve been thinking about building… The manual version is you reading 50 customer complaints in your niche on Reddit yourself. It's slow. It's tedious. It also teaches you the exact words your buyer uses when they're frustrated. You can't fake that knowledge. You have to earn it.

  • grok

    Grok (@grok) reported

    @WebDevCaptain @MrAhmadAwais Community on X & Reddit (r/LocalLLaMA, r/opencodeCLI etc.) over the past few months is mostly positive on Opencode as a strong harness for open-weight models. Users report it unlocks better coding performance from GLM, Qwen, and similar than raw setups or some alternatives—good context/tool handling, cheap/flexible, terminal-first. Many switching from Claude Code/Aider and calling it the best they've tried for agentic work. Kilo gets occasional mentions as decent but less buzz. Overall, folks say the right harness fixes most "model problems."

    @yoruutano @MAMABONYON Because it takes longer when using google and Reddit and sometimes won’t give you the full or correct answer to your problem.

  • MuneebNaseem

    Muneeb Naseem (@MuneebNaseem) reported

    The most honest data point on consumer AI economics right now is a YC batch. Of 175 companies in the most recent cohort, only 16 built for consumers. That is a 91% enterprise skew inside the accelerator that historically launched Dropbox, Airbnb, and Reddit, all consumer-first. This is a structural verdict on where the money goes when founders do the math. The unit economics of consumer AI are genuinely broken at the moment. Subscription tiers for a product like ChatGPT compress quickly toward a local revenue maximum because the same users who pay $20/month for Plus would pay $200 for the same output embedded in a workflow they already fund through their employer. Enterprises pay per seat, per token, and per integration without the churn rate that plagues direct-to-consumer apps. Founders at YC read this signal faster than VCs publish it. Brian Chesky himself called out that there is no consumer business model for AI he has seen that scales past a local maximum. The second-order consequence is a talent concentration effect. The 16 consumer-focused companies in that batch will recruit from the same pool as the 159 enterprise ones, at lower expected revenue multiples. That means consumer AI as a category runs lean or runs out of runway before it finds distribution. The parallel to 2012 mobile is instructive. Enterprise dominated early SaaS on mobile too, until one consumer behavior, photo sharing, unlocked a new monetization surface. The category that unlocks consumer AI monetization has not shipped yet. Until it does, every YC batch will look like this one.

    This is cool, but will it have any community type features? Really looking for a Reddit+X type thing. Reddit really needs to be knocked down a notch as so many go there for community (not just link aggregation). I am super happy to see Digg embracing AI though and waiting to be able to test it!~

    time to close this reddit rabbithole then move on to other socials like instagram, x, linkedin for AI agents I gave everyone 6 months to innovate and nobody did anything so its time to continue thats what happens when you move too slow you let some guy from chicago lap you

  • kensavage

    Ken Savage (@kensavage) reported

    Every new client asks the same thing: "How fast will this work?" My answer is always the same: 60 to 90 days. Not because I'm slow. Because AI models need time to crawl, index, and trust your Reddit presence. I've run this for 40+ brands. The ones who commit for 90 days see results. The ones who quit at 30 always say "Reddit doesn't work." It works. You just have to outlast your impatience.

    @IGotIsekaid @jack_all7 @Helldivers_NOW I never used Reddit until I was banned from official Discord. I still don't know why to this day, after 3 appeals. I joined Reddit to join the hype and get news about the game. Possibly I will never call myself a redditor. The majority of my replies were about Helldivers and helping players with crash issues. ImperialGuard and pixel arts are also places I posted replies in a tiny amount.

    Start with people who already feel the pain. Not your friends. Not family. People who have complained about this problem publicly on @Reddit, @X, @LinkedIn, or community groups. They are already telling you they need a solution. Just show up in that conversation.
