Anyone else deal with this?
I got tired of manually refreshing a site to check for [restocks/open slots/updates], so I wrote a small Python script to do it for me. Made me wonder how many other annoying manual tasks people are stuck doing by hand — spreadsheet copying, invoice formatting, merging files, that kind of thing.
What's yours?
I’m 24 years old and currently working as the COO of a small but growing eyewear company in India.
I joined the company in 2023 as an Operations Handler. At that time, my role was mainly focused on day-to-day operations, but over time I started taking ownership of more and more responsibilities. Instead of staying within one department, I gradually became involved in almost every part of the business.
Today, I handle things like:
Overall business operations
Project management and execution
Purchasing and vendor management (including China sourcing)
Product development
Inventory planning and SKU management
Retail store operations
Process design and SOP creation
Hiring and team coordination
Business expansion and new venture planning
Working with designers, developers, accountants, and suppliers to execute projects
ERP planning and business automation
Marketing strategy discussions (Meta Ads, retail growth, customer acquisition)
Solving operational bottlenecks and improving workflows
The company currently does around ₹4–5 crore in annual revenue, and I’ve had the opportunity to learn how businesses actually operate beyond what books teach.
That said…
My real passion has always been technology.
I enjoy thinking about software products, AI, automation, ERP systems, business tools, workflows, APIs, and solving real business problems using technology. I spend a lot of my free time learning about startups, AI, SaaS, and product development.
I’m not a software engineer, but I understand business problems deeply and can bridge the gap between business and technology. I know how to validate ideas, build processes, prioritize features, manage projects, talk to customers, and turn messy operations into scalable systems.
I’m looking for one of two things:
Someone technical who wants to build a startup together as a side project. We’d validate ideas first, build an MVP, and if things gain traction, I’d eventually transition full-time.
An early-stage startup where I can contribute beyond a typical operations role and work closely with founders on building something meaningful.
I’m not looking for a “get rich quick” project or random app ideas.
I’m interested in building products in areas like:
AI applications
SaaS
Business automation
ERP/Operations software
B2B tools
Workflow automation
Productivity software
If you’re someone who likes building products and you’re serious about starting a company, I’d love to connect.

Let’s see if we can build something worthwhile.
Like title - I want to promote a certain post but I dont see a promote button to it - but the post I dont want to, voila there is the button.
I am looking for a subReddit to sell syringes (for laboratory or research use). I am curious to know if there is a subreddit where I can sell this type of merchandise (brand new, sealed, and original manufacturers packaging)
I've ran a few campaigns on Reddit. Some of them were amazing, way exceeding expectations, then some are....so buggy. Is this just me or anyone else?
Today it said ads were active but 4 hours in no impressions or other stats. I contacted support, they said no issue but right after that impressions started showing. Then the spend went from 0 to 2, to 50 to 70 to 99 in jumps over 5/10 minutes, despite a daily limit of 25.
It showed my ad in non english speaking countries predominately. Just overall pretty rubbish experience. Is it just me?
I've always been aware of the hard rules, and honestly I love them.
The experience and quality of posts and interactions on Reddit are totally worth the harsh rules.
My current strategy was to genuinely help users when it comes to using and leveraging rev-share collaborations to scale their startup.
And then drive traffic through users clicking on my profile or smt
But I've sent the link in comments, is that what got me banned?
I'm new to Reddit, so idk what to do.
But I know of a lot of people who do marketing successfully here.
I'm not asking to skirt the lines or hack the rules, I just want to know what I can do within them.

We’ve been testing Reddit Ads recently and the results are… mixed.
Targeting feels a bit broad, CPCs are lower than Meta/Google, but the conversion side is shaky. Some niches click, others don’t even move the needle.
So I’m curious:
Would love to hear real experiences? Good, bad, or ugly.
Can I turn off a single Reddit ad creative if it's performing poorly? It's been spending money without any conversions. After turning it off, can I copy and add a new ad to the original ad group? How effective would that be, and would it negatively impact the ad group's performance?
The basic “like and share this post, and tag a friend” for a chance to win a $50-$100 gift card. To gain exposure and try to land jobs. We are a landscaping business. I was thinking of offering $100 off a job with us, but I don’t think I’ll get as much traction. I also think the traction for a gift card would not necessarily help us get business, as people would simply share because they want the gift card. My business partner thinks making such a post reeks of desperation- I don’t. We still have jobs and work lined up, and more jobs to come. But the landscaping season is starting to slow down.
Or I was thinking I may make a post to raffle something related to summer that’s fun.
Or is this a bad idea in general? Thoughts?
I’m a total beginner to Reddit advertising, and I’ve been testing mobile app install campaigns for around two months, but my campaigns have been losing money nonstop with almost no profitable conversions.
Really appreciate any real experience, practical tips or pitfalls you can share. Thank you so much!
New here, and I learned the hard way that Reddit does not care about your enthusiasm if your account is three days old.
A few honest takeaways:
None of this is a hack. It's just paying dues. But knowing it upfront would've saved me a removed post and some confusion.
For the people who market here well, what's the thing you wish you knew when you started?
Hello! I recently developed a Korean skincare coach AI app and tried using Reddit Ads to promote it.
It was an offer where spending $500 gets you $500, and I thought it was worthwhile, so I tried using about $80 — but there were zero app downloads.
I thought targeting the right channels would make it meaningful, but in the end, I spent about $10 per click across 9 clicks total and still got zero app downloads.
I'm sure some people use it effectively, but I've definitely done my testing. I don't think I'll ever advertise on Reddit again. It seems like advertising on the App Store directly is more effective.
“We are a trove of human intelligence," COO Jen Wong tells Axios. "Even as people use AI more, they still are seeking out information from humans as a companion to that."
I will add Reddit is a hive of human intelligence where production never ceases.
I have been running Reddit ads for 2 months to promote 4 iOS apps on the App Store, and my core KPI is in-app purchase conversions. Here is my current campaign setup and issues:
All audiences I adopted are Reddit’s AI-recommended audiences generated based on each app’s features.
I’m stuck on optimization and hoping to get practical advice from experienced marketers:
Any troubleshooting tips or scaling strategies would be highly appreciated!
