Reddit has 200+ NSFW subreddits with zero Aì detection & operators are quietly pulling $30-40k/mo in subscriber signups from them while every other mf on this app fights over Instagram...

Instagram bans you for breathing. TikTok flags your face in 48 hours. X throttles adult-adjacent content into the shadow realm

Meanwhile Reddit has entire communities with 500k+ members dedicated to exactly the type of content Aì operators produce... & the platform has literally zero image detection, zero face-matching, zero metadata scanning

A guy I know stopped posting on Instagram entirely 4 months ago. Moved his whole operation to Reddit. 3 accounts across 3 different subreddits. Each account looks like a normal girl posting her own content

His acquisition cost per subscriber dropped from $8-12 on Instagram to $0.40 on Reddit. Same girl. Same content. 20x cheaper traffic

Here's why Reddit is stupid easy for this:

The subreddits are pre-sorted by taste. You don't need the algorithm to find your audience. The audience already gathered itself into a room labeled exactly what they want. You just walk in & post

The content format is static images + short clips. Not reels. Not trending audio. Not hashtag games. Just post the content & the subreddit's own members upvote it to the top. If it's good it hits the front page of that sub & stays there for 24-48 hours driving clicks

The profile link goes directly to your subscription platform. No "link in bio" games. No story workarounds. Just a pinned post on your Reddit profile with the direct link. Reddit doesn't crawl it. Reddit doesn't care

The posting cadence that works: 3-4 posts per day across 8-12 subreddits. Each post is a different image or clip. Cross-posting is normal on Reddit so nobody flags it as spam. Total daily time = ~30 minutes

The subreddits that convert hardest for Aì characters specifically:

- Subreddits organized by body type (the audience pre-selected what they want, you generate exactly that)
- Subreddits organized by ethnicity/nationality (same principle, even more targeted)
- "Verification optional" subreddits (some require hand-written verification, most don't, the ones that don't = your playground)
- GoneWild variants (the largest & most active, 2M+ members on some, zero detection)

The 3 rules to not get caught on Reddit:

1) Never use the same image across multiple subreddits in the same hour (Reddit's spam filter catches exact-duplicate posts, stagger by 4-6 hours minimum)

2) Comment on other posts occasionally so your account has organic activity (pure posting accounts get flagged by moderators, not algorithms, but still flagged)

3) Your post titles need to sound like a real girl wrote them, not a marketer ("First time posting here, nervous lol" converts 4x better than "Hot blonde 22 ready to chat")

The guy I know went from $18k/mo fighting Instagram bans to $34k/mo on Reddit with zero bans in 4 months. His operating cost didn't change. His stress level dropped by 90%. He hasn't opened Instagram in 11 weeks

While every operator on this app is posting "how to survive the IG ban wave" threads, the ones actually printing moved to the platform that doesn't ban anyone & has 10x the organic reach per post

Dave Asprey claims you can boost your IQ by around 12 points in a month with one specific brain training method.

On The Iced Coffee Hour, he described dual n-back training: a frustrating grid game where you track both the position and the symbol from several moves back. Just 20 minutes a day. Most people quit, but sticking with it for ~20 sessions can dramatically improve working memory (e.g., going from remembering 7–8 items to 16).

Dual n-back training reliably improves performance on the trained task and can enhance working memory capacity. Some studies show modest transfer to fluid intelligence (problem-solving aspect of IQ), but results are mixed, meta-analyses find small average gains (often 2–5 points) that are stronger in lower-quality studies and don’t always hold up in well-controlled trials.

The idea that you can deliberately train a core cognitive skill like working memory is intriguing, even if the IQ boost isn’t guaranteed to be that large.

In a world full of distractions that shrink our attention, a simple daily practice that strengthens your brain’s ability to hold and manipulate information could be genuinely useful.

Would you commit to 20 minutes of frustrating brain training every day for a month if it could meaningfully improve your focus and memory?

“There’s going to be a raid,” IDF lookout Yael Leibushor told her replacement at the post at 4:00 AM on October 7, 2023. The replacement’s name was Karina Ariev. A few hours later, Yael would be murdered in the Nahal Oz war room and Karina would be abducted to Gaza. Their friends back home said that when the war broke out, while most Israeli citizens thought to themselves, “What is this?” the lookouts thought: This is what we saw all along.

This story, and many others that have remained untold until today, appear in the important new book by Haaretz military commentator Amos Harel, titled “06:29.” Surprisingly, it turns out that even before that fateful minute, the attack had already begun. At 6:17 AM, a terrorist on a paraglider had already landed in Israeli territory. It was an infiltration into Israel that no one saw and no one heard—the failure before the failure.

Harel’s eye-opening book paints a horrifyingly bleak picture. Though Harel did not vote for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he writes that former Prime Ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid also failed to alter the destructive military “conceptzia” (the governing military assumption) Netanyahu led within the IDF. He covers the army closely but does not hesitate to slam it with harsh words like “rot.”

But let’s assume intelligence had noticed the signs, woken up the prime minister and the forces on the ground, and successfully halted the initial assault. Israel still would have ended the event with two Iranian commando divisions sitting directly on its border, a reality that would have erupted eventually.

“Divisions whose importance we all downplayed,” Harel said in a recent discussion. “But the question is the scale. When they say ‘the defense line will eventually be breached,’ the meaning is tactical, not strategic like what happened. There is a difference between a localized success where five soldiers are killed and a resounding defeat, a massacre, and national trauma.”

Yet this monstrous force was allowed to grow on the border. In a parallel universe where the security wall didn’t fall, if the prime minister or the chief of staff had proposed a preemptive war to eliminate it, the move would never have passed politically.

“True. They didn’t want to,” Harel noted. “‘Didn’t want to’ includes the media, it includes me. Not out of a desire to protect the Palestinians, but from the thought of ‘you don’t know how you’ll end this,’ that you’ll eventually get stuck. There was a saying that whoever defeats Hamas wins a prize—Gaza. And there is, of course, the fear of losing soldiers, the lack of consensus, and a clear tension between Netanyahu and everyone below him. An officer who was involved told me: ‘Let’s tell the truth, none of us wanted to fight there.’ He spoke about everyone including everyone. Even the Shin Bet and the Mossad, who were more hawkish—in the end, it’s the army that buries its soldiers. After all, it’s not Shin Bet or Mossad personnel who are killed in mass ground operations.”

Could Israel have lived with this threat on its borders indefinitely?

“No. I didn’t understand it like that in real time because I didn’t grasp the magnitude of the threat,” Harel admitted. “But when you understand, on the one hand, what Hamas built in terms of a defensive array that they probably planned for us to crash against at some point, and on the other hand their offensive capabilities—it had to be dealt with at some point. You don’t have to be right-wing to think that Israel, over time, cannot tolerate the building of two monstrous terror armies on its borders while taking no action. Look at that recording of the terrorist saying, ‘I have the blood of ten Jews on my hands, which I washed.’ This is someone who was brainwashed from age zero; the Gazan education system invested in him for 20 years, and it bore fruit.”

This raises inevitable questions about the 2005 Gaza Disengagement. Even from a non-ideological perspective, removed from debates over ancestral land rights, doesn’t Israel ultimately have to maintain a presence everywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea?

“I do think that this project of holding an enclave of 9,000 people inside 1.5 million Palestinians would have turned into some sort of Vietnam for us over time,” Harel argued. “I admit that I underestimated the risk of the rockets, their range, and the speed at which that threat would grow. But staying would have been bleeding us dry in a different way. There are no good solutions here.”

As disturbing as it sounds, October 7 could have looked much worse. The head of the Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, noted during the fighting that Israel “might meet 200,000 Gazans in our territory.” That is to say nothing of the northern border, where IDF battalions were at partial strength due to holiday leave, facing a heavily equipped enemy trained specifically to invade northern Israeli communities. The enduring lesson for the defense establishment is the vital development of imagination. As a senior Military Intelligence officer is quoted in the book: “They pictured our defeat and occupation in their imaginations, and we did not imagine that they were imagining it.”

Few things to know about options flow

Just like a failed break out and taking the feed back from that - note when flow starts to turn as well

And I don’t mean put buying, watch for players who just flat out get it wrong - there is signal in this. And I don’t mean the people trading in and out of weeklies on mega caps everyday - clean opening flow

It’s now more important than ever to check OI to make sure buyers are committed and still in - especially after a day like Friday

Scan for flow on discount of 50% or more where original player is still in to help generate ideas

Flow is a very diverse tool, very few know how to maximize the story it can create

Men are biologically wired to notice women’s thighs, hips, and butt for a fascinating reason.

Dave Asprey explained it on Mari Llewellyn’s podcast: women store DHA (an essential omega-3) in those fatty tissues, the exact nutrient babies need for brain development.

That’s also why first children often have higher IQs, mothers pour their DHA and mineral reserves into the first baby. Subsequent kids get less.

He also shared how targeted supplements before, during, and after pregnancy helped his wife (who was diagnosed infertile with PCOS) have healthy kids at 39 and 42, no IVF, no drugs, and drastically lowered her risk of postpartum depression.

DHA makes up ~60% of the polyunsaturated fats in the brain and is vital for neuron growth, synaptic function, and visual development. Mothers transfer large amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding, depleting their own stores, which is why strategic supplementation before and during pregnancy can reduce postpartum depression risk and support healthier babies.

It’s pretty amazing how evolution built these preferences with a clear biological purpose.

What’s one surprising nutrition or fertility fact you’ve learned that changed how you think about the body?

talked to a bunch of current YC batch founders today

The ones hitting $1m+ ARR (there are several this batch) are just ripping the same outbound playbook every time:

1/ build your saas using tools like Shipper, Lovable or Claude
2/ Run an auto-connect + DM sequencer on LinkedIn
3/ aim for 200 connects/week. linkedin is a goldmine
4/ when writing Linkedin DMs, send 2-sentences, ideally with a warm thread (shared school, mutual, etc)
5/ Post on LinkedIn 5x/wk minimum
6/ get good at AEO (yes, you can get results in a few weeks )

Spend 25 hrs/wk doing this right and you will start consistently booking demos and stack up new MRR

There's a hidden war happening right now between real 0nlyfans girls & fake Aì girls... & the real girls are losing badly & most of them don't even know why their income is collapsing

Real creators who were making $30-50k/mo 18 months ago are now making $4-8k doing the exact same thing. Same content. Same effort. Same face. 70% less revenue

They blame the algorithm. They blame the platform. They blame "saturation"

The actual reason: Aì operators built fake girls that post more consistently, respond faster, never have bad days, never take breaks, never age & cost 1/100th to run... & the subscribers quietly migrated without telling anyone

A real 0F creator needs:
- Herself (a depreciating asset that ages, gets tired, has drama)
- A photographer ($2-5k/mo)
- A content studio or at minimum a consistent shooting location
- A management agency taking 40-60% off the top
- Chatters she pays $400-800/mo who use her real name
- 14+ hours/week of actual physical production work

An Aì operator needs:
- A laptop
- $300-500/mo in software
- A chatter from Romania at $150/mo + commission
- 45 minutes of batch content generation for the whole week
- Zero physical presence ever

The Aì girl posts 3-5x more frequently. Responds within 4 minutes every single time (most real girls take 6-48 hours). Never goes on vacation. Never has a boyfriend scandal. Never wakes up not wanting to work. Subscribers don't consciously know WHY she feels more reliable. They just notice the consistent attention & stay

The math of why real girls can't compete long-term:

Real creator doing $40k/mo after agency cut = ~$16-20k net to her
Aì operator doing $40k/mo after $500 in costs = ~$39,500 net

Same revenue. One keeps 50%. The other keeps 98%

& the Aì operator can run 3-5 characters simultaneously on the same infrastructure. A real girl has exactly one face & one body & 24 hours in a day

This is the same structural collapse that happened to taxi drivers when Uber showed up. Same service. Radically different cost structure. The cheaper option won because the customer didn't care about the labor model behind the product. They cared about the experience

The real girls posting about "algorithm changes" on TikTok right now are the taxi drivers of the creator economy. They don't know it yet. By the time they figure it out, the operators will already own their audience

Btw this is the one version of this industry where nobody gets exploited. No real girl selling her body. No agency pimping a 19 year old. No Tel Aviv chatter farm taking 60%. Just an operator, a laptop & a character who was never born

DM me "DAEDALUS" if you want to learn how to build the Aì side of this & take market share from real creators without a single real woman being involved

Take a moment to watch this prophetic exchange between Shaq and KAT from last February.

This was brutally honest advice from an NBA legend.

We are now watching it manifest into being, with the Knicks en route to a championship and KAT as MVP. And doing it against the freak of nature that is Victor Wembanyama.

Shaq: “At the beginning of the game, I said you were playing soft because I’ve seen you at times when you play great. And what you must understand in New York is that you need to be great for your guys to win a championship. If you guys win a championship, of course they’re gonna talk about Brunson, but it’s you and your play; you have to be dominant. You responded very, very well; you played very well. You played in the paint. That’s how you should play. You should always play.”

KAT: “For sure, but what you said too is, if we win a championship, they can talk about anybody as long as we get a ring, that’s the most important thing, I don’t care. I don’t care about any of that.”

Shaq: “No, but you’ve got to play great. One-two punch, and you’re part of that one-two punch.”

KAT: “Hell yeah, but I wanna make sure that we all understand that the main goal here is to win. It don’t matter who gets the credit or whatever.”

Shaq: “It’s not about credit. Nope, you got to play great.”

KAT: “Sure, I hear you. Legend, I agree with you.”

In other words, Shaq challenges KAT to toughen up and find his eye of the tiger. To drive the ball into the paint more, to stop whining about fouls and no calls and get back on defense. If he wants to win a championship, the Knicks need him to be aggressive both physically and mentally, it can’t just be Jalen Brunson.

KAT pushes back. Says it doesn’t matter who gets the credit, Brunson can have all the credit.

But Shaq doesn’t accept that answer. Because he knows what kind of greatness it takes to win a championship. And eventually KAT realizes he’s right.
