Now your turn

Hi Everyone,

My question is quite simple and straightforward. Are content writers really useless due to AI?

I mean I'm talking about all those writers who have just started writing and have been in this industry for so long.

Why are companies treating us like the most useless department or the person who has zero importance?

I'm done by listening to this line "AI can write the better content in just 10 mins"

Bro, please count that extra 1.5 hours that you'd spend in making that content reasonable, readable, and removing the fluff?

How could it be possible that every human will be replaced by the so-called AI?

How?

Treat it like a robot, machine, or a helping hand.

Not even writers are facing such problems but companies or clients have made threat AI for designers, web and app developers and so on..

I was also planning to start content creation like reels, and YouTube videos, and I discussed this idea with one of my acquaintances, he replied "koi faida Nahi AI SE ab videos Bhi achi ban jati Hain. I told him k Jo videos ki baat tum Kar Rahy ho aur Jo content Maine create Karna hai us main bohat difference hai." He said Han Nahi hai koi faida ab to astra 6 AA Gaya hai.

Please note that he was also a content writer and switched his career into cyber security.

Kya hamari field khatam ho chuki hai?

Mairy career k 8 Saal zaya ho Gaye Hain.

Hi folks!

I’m currently looking for a serious, long-term client who needs reliable content writing and content marketing support.

I have 8 years of experience in content writing, content marketing, SEO, and team management, and I’ve worked across SaaS, technical, B2B, and several other niches.

I can help with:

- SEO-focused blog and website content

- SaaS & technical content

- Content strategy and planning

- Content marketing

- Website copy and other marketing content

I’m specifically looking for long-term collaborations with fixed pricing, rather than one-off projects. If you’re a genuine client looking for someone you can work with consistently, feel free to reach out.

Email: samreenmanzoor000@gmail.com

Note: Please reach out only if you’re genuinely looking for a long-term content partner. Thank you!

NOTE: THIS POST IS NOT AN OPEN INVITATION FOR ANYONE TO LAND IN MY DMs. I genuinely need honest suggestions and thoughts.

Hey everyone,

Loser here.

I hope you're all doing well. I'm a 30F, turning 31 this October, and I really need some honest perspective because I honestly don't know what to do with my life anymore.

I've never been a particularly good student. I completed my studies in 2018, while also freelancing. My academic journey wasn't exactly smooth either. Technically, I was supposed to complete matric in 2011, but because of my father's poor health and our financial situation, I ended up completing it in 2014. Somehow, I kept going and eventually completed my education.

I've always been someone who believed that no matter what happens, you shouldn't give up.

I've made plenty of mistakes along the way too, especially trusting the wrong people and friends.

When I was starting my career in 2018 as a freelancer, I told my elder brother that I wanted to become a graphic designer. I had, and still have a very strong interest in it. It wasn't because I thought it would make good money. I don't even know how to explain it, but I've always felt drawn toward creative work. I wasn't particularly creative as a child, but something about designing and creating things has always attracted me.

My elder brother had started content writing back in 2011 and is now working as a department head. So he basically told me, "I can only teach you what I know."

So I started writing.

And honestly, I did really well financially. I'm currently earning 150k+ PKR.

I wasn't just a regular writer either. I transitioned into different roles, took on more responsibilities, and was promoted to Content Manager in three different companies.

But since 2025, I haven't been able to find a stable job.

In the past year alone, I've changed five jobs. In some places, I was literally told not to come back from the next day. In others, the environment was so toxic that I'd cry the entire night knowing I had to go back to the office the next morning.

I feel like my family has lost confidence in me.

And honestly, I've lost confidence in myself too.

I'm also the kind of person who tells my mother and brother about even small problems, even though I don't want to burden them. But my expressions give me away. No matter how hard I try to hide things, they can tell when something is wrong.

And I know what many people will say:

"Just start finding clients."

Bro, I DID.

I've freelanced. I've tried finding clients. But the problem is that it doesn't provide the long-term stability I'm looking for.

At this point, I'm exhausted.

There are days when I genuinely feel like I want to scream and cry until I have nothing left inside me. I've started having suicidal thoughts, and they're becoming harder to dismiss. Sometimes I'm somewhere and I think, What if something happened to me here? What if my family just got a call saying I died in an accident? Maybe their lives would become easier without me.

And that thought scares me.

People, including my family, tell me that maybe I should get married. But after my breakup, I don't trust people easily anymore. I'm genuinely scared of relationships, love, and marriage. Whenever someone brings up love or marriage, instead of feeling hopeful, I feel fear, anxiety, and hopelessness.

Sometimes I just want to cry so much that I become completely numb.

I feel like a loser.

And somewhere in my head, I've started believing that losers don't get to have good, happy lives.

I always dreamed of having a peaceful, happy life. I wanted to build a career, be independent, have a good relationship, and simply feel secure about my future.

But right now, I feel like none of that is meant for me.

So, if you've gone through something similar career instability, repeated job losses, losing confidence in yourself, or feeling like you've completely failed at life what did you actually do to get yourself out of it?

I don't want sympathy or DMs. I genuinely want honest advice from people who have been through difficult periods and managed to rebuild their lives.

What would you do if you were in my position?

Hey everyone,

I’m 30F and only started using Reddit in June 2026. I’m genuinely curious, are there people here in their mid or late 30s as well? Men and women, both.

I mostly joined Reddit to kill some boredom, explore different perspectives, and randomly get lost in interesting conversations. 😂

I’m just curious because most of the people I seem to come across here appear to be in their teens or early/mid-20s.

So, if you’re 35+ and unmarried regardless of gender what actually brought you to Reddit? And what keeps you here?

Hey everyone, looking for some advice/perspective from fellow content strategists and marketers.

I’ve been in the content and marketing space for 8 years now. Started back in 2018 as an intern, then moved through roles like SaaS Writer, Tech Writer, SEO Writer, and eventually Content Team Lead (managing teams across B2B, B2C, legal, medical billing, etc.). I also did a 6-month stint in BD to learn the sales side of growth.

I recently joined a US-based startup (c2c software/app space in Sacramento focused on local community help and earning extra cash). I joined in early August as a content lead & strategist. The CEO loved my initial pitch and was really impressed with the comprehensive content strategy I put together for the upcoming product launch.

Fast forward 2 weeks after I joined, a new CMO comes on board (claims 6+ years of experience).

Here is where the problem starts:

She completely ignores my content strategy. Instead, she told me to just blindly follow the SEO guy's keyword list for all website copy and launch content.

The SEO strategy is almost entirely Bottom of the Funnel (BOFU) transactional keywords. But we haven't even launched the site/app yet! Pushing pure transactional keywords before building brand positioning, local trust, or Top/Middle of Funnel awareness in a hyper-local C2C market makes zero sense right now.

I’ve gently brought this up to her multiple times, explaining that we need to build the messaging and trust funnel first for launch, then scale SEO. She just stares at me with a straight face and says nothing, then goes back to working exclusively with the SEO guy.

She treats me strictly like a junior executioner. My daily tasks have turned into "Write this tagline," "Change this sentence," "Build this raw page." No strategic involvement, no discussion on user journeys or storytelling.

I feel like she honestly has no idea how to leverage a senior content strategist and is just sticking to what she knows (basic SEO execution).

Since both of us are new to the company, I want to handle this diplomatically without starting unnecessary drama or running to the CEO to complain.

Questions for you guys:

How do you pivot a manager away from "micro-task execution" when you were hired for high-level strategy?

How do you bridge the gap with a boss who over-indexes on SEO at the expense of launch messaging and funnel building?

Has anyone dealt with a newly hired CMO who seems threatened by or ignores existing strategy work?

Would appreciate any advice on how to navigate this without burning bridges or losing my mind!

Hey everyone,

I’m a 30-year-old professional living in Lahore. I’ve been working in the content and marketing space since 2018. Financially, I am independent, and overall I take pride in my work and career growth.

Lately, I’ve been dealing with a deep sense of loneliness and emotional fatigue. As I’m entering my 30s, I find myself feeling anxious and disappointed when I think about the future, specifically when it comes to marriage and finding the right life partner.

The main issue I face is that most interactions I come across nowadays feel extremely superficial. People often jump straight to shallow flirting or casual interest, whereas what I actually look for is intellectual depth, emotional maturity, mutual respect, and serious commitment. Because of this gap, it’s been really hard to find someone who aligns with what I want in life.

On top of that, because my social circle is very small and I spend most of my time between work and family, the isolation gets heavy sometimes. I also struggle with overthinking about how family dynamics will evolve in the coming years and where that leaves me individually.

I’m currently planning my next career moves, including looking into opportunities abroad, but the underlying anxiety about my personal life remains.

For women (or anyone) in their 30s who have felt this specific kind of loneliness or anxiety about marriage and the future—how do you manage it? How do you protect your peace while keeping hope alive for a meaningful connection?

Would appreciate any thoughtful perspectives.

There comes a time in life when we meet someone we genuinely want to be with. But despite countless efforts, that person never becomes a part of our life.

Why does this happen? Why is it that sometimes we don't get the very thing we want the most?

I'm in my early 30s, and I still struggle to understand this.

I'm genuinely looking for serious, thoughtful, and mature perspectives on this.

To give more context, imagine a situation where the other person says they don't want to marry you or build a life with you because they don't see a future together, mainly due to what they believe is their toxic family situation.

At the same time, they admit that they genuinely enjoy your company, care about you, and find it difficult to stay away from you.

How do you make sense of something like this? If someone values your presence but still doesn't choose a future with you, what does that really mean?

Hamari life main Aisa time ata hai jab hum Kisi insan se milty hain but lakh Koshish karny k baad bhi wo shakhs hamen nahi milta hai..

Aisa q hota hai? Matlab Jo chahiye wo q nahi milta? I'm in my early 30's but still, unable to understand this.

I am actually looking for serious and mature thoughts on this..

Hi everyone. I’m a 30(F) marketer based in Pakistan. I started my career back in 2018, and while I’m doing really great now, a toxic workplace experience from 2021 still occasionally haunts me. I wanted to share this story to dissect exactly how a toxic group dynamic can systematically target and isolate an individual.

In 2021, I joined a marketing agency. My interview with the manager went incredibly well, and I got the offer the same day. But the moment I stepped into the department (5 guys, 5 girls including me), the vibe was completely off. The team, including my manager, refused to talk to me. I tried to gel in, but they treated me like I was invisible.

One day, my manager asked for some files. I asked for 5 minutes to share them. Instead of waiting, he walked to my desk, grabbed my mouse, and started searching through my personal laptop. When I got confused, the entire room started laughing. When he found the folder, he aggressively said, "What is this garbage?"

I firmly told him, "Please leave my mouse. You cannot touch my laptop or accessories without my permission." The girls in the department just looked at each other and laughed at me. Setting a basic boundary made me an immediate target.

A married, slightly older colleague (let’s call her Faiza) was treated like royalty. Everyone called her "Faiza Baji" (an honorific) out of forced respect. I carried myself with confidence, dressed well, and treated her as an equal colleague. One day she confronted me: "Nobody calls me just by my name. You don’t respect anyone."

I calmly replied, "We are the same age and colleagues. I don’t think I need to call you Baji to show respect." That was the absolute last day of my peace. Her ego was bruised because I refused to bow to her self-made office hierarchy.

A male colleague, Faheem, stepped in as my "savior," warning me that they were scheming against me. Being isolated, I trusted him. During a company-mandated vaccine drive, he was the only one who accompanied me, even filming me jokingly when I was scared of the needle.

Later, during a work lunch, he crossed a major line—he touched me inappropriately and claimed he was "physically attracted" to me. I was disgusted and immediately started maintaining a strict distance from him.

Soon after, I caught Covid-19 and was on bed rest for a month. When I returned, my desk had been moved next to the door. The team asked, "Didn’t you quit? The manager told us you quit and hired a replacement." HR assured me it was just a "joke," but the bullying worsened. In meetings, when it was my turn to speak, they would openly say, "Why do we even need to ask her?" while the manager laughed along.

The breaking point happened over a 5-minute practical favor. My food delivery app wasn't working, so I needed to run to a nearby ATM during the end of my break. Faheem saw me, insisted I’d be late, and offered me a lift on his bike. Out of time pressure, I accepted.

The next thing I knew, the office clique used this to entirely assassinate my character, labeling me a "loose/bad girl." Faheem had clearly leaked it to his friends to feed the gossip mill and punish me for rejecting his advances. The hypocrisy was insane—these same girls vaped and swore with the guys daily, but I was targeted for a 5-minute bike ride.

I finally called an HR meeting with the whole department. It was a circus. Everyone denied everything. Faiza’s friend, Ambreen, stood up and started screaming at me at the top of her lungs, accusing me of being "jealous of Faiza." The neighboring departments could hear her screaming, and people were laughing.

HR told me not to resign because "if you leave, they will think you're the liar." I didn't care. I submitted my resignation and walked out the very next day.

A year later, Faheem texted me trying to apologize because his alliance with the office clique fell apart. He tried to blame others and asked to "be friends." I told him I would never forgive him and blocked him.

Looking back, I realize I was a victim of corporate mobbing—where a toxic group uses psychological warfare to drive out anyone who is independent, competent, and refuses to conform to their toxic hierarchy. I survived, I left, and today I am thriving. But the psychological impact of being ganged up on is very real.

Hey everyone,

I’m writing this because I just experienced a major shift in how I view AI, and honestly, it left me feeling a bit hollow.

Have you ever been dealing with something deeply personal, stressful, or overwhelming, and decided to vent to ChatGPT? You’re typing away, pouring your heart out, and for a second, it feels great. The responses are empathetic, fast, and seemingly understanding. You start feeling like you’re actually being heard.

But then... it happens.

You ask a specific follow-up, or you push for a deeper human perspective, and the AI hits you with a response that is so sterile, so formulaic, or so obviously a canned disclaimer that the illusion shatters instantly.

In a split second, you realize: “Oh. I’m not talking to anyone. I’m talking to a heavily trained, predictive text LLM that is just guessing the next statistically probable word.”

It’s such a specific kind of disappointment. You go from feeling supported to feeling incredibly lonely, realizing you’re just shouting into a digital void. Like, AI bhi ab aap ka morale low kar raha hai (Even AI is bringing your morale down now). You look at the screen and think, "I just wasted all this emotional energy on a machine because I couldn't or didn't talk to a real human."

Has anyone else hit this wall? That moment where the "empathy" feels completely manufactured and it just leaves you feeling more disconnected than before? How do you shake off that weird, post-AI vent blues?

I’m a Lahore with 8 years of experience in content marketing, including managerial roles. Since February, I’ve had to leave three toxic, manipulative jobs. Recently, I’ve made it to the final interview rounds at top companies like Tkxel and Systems Limited. The feedback is always impressive, but right at the salary discussion, I get ghosted or rejected without explanation.

I used to pray Tahajjud and Astaghfirullah, which helped immensely, but due to exhausting routines, I drifted away this past year. Now I’m jobless, completely fed up, and feeling disconnected from Allah. I feel like giving up.

Have you ever experienced a miracle or a sudden turnaround when everything felt completely hopeless? Please share.

Anyone on this reddit community who ever worked at IPS (INFORMATION PROCESSING SOLUTION) BPO based in Lahore?

Actually, I joined their digital marketing department as a content team lead 2 months ago. But now I'm seeing so many red flags, not only in my department but in entire organization.

If anyone have the similar experience then please let me know.
