Both, Reddit is arguably one of the very few community websites/apps remaining that is still worth visiting post-llms. Aside from Reddit I would probably be using AI for most of my work.

2026 is a long time window; check competition, notice trends and monitor ads/sponsored products. Trends change fast, so it's a dynamic process.

Usually you get an initial boost/ exposure by Youtube to check if your video is organically viral, but if you don't gain organic momentum quickly from there the algorithm deprioritizes you.

It's not very common, but my understanding is that they run something like a point system, beyond a certain threshold if you violated their rules you'll get suspended.

SEO is definitely still relevant today but it's probably not going to be as relevant 1-2 years from now so keep that in mind when you're budgeting etc especially for long-term projects and websites.

The key thing is to notice and piggyback on viral trends or adapt accordingly, I've seen some even automate this, but doing it manually is usually the way to go and you get better results in my opinion.

The main thing is competition, especially with active repeated ads with no obvious competency, edge or moat.

I noticed this as well, maybe because a lot of the new content is AI generated and they want to avoid that.

Yes just keep in mind even if it works initially, your content might lose value over time.

Start small, add value, do not repeat the same content, do not dm with offers, do not make any offers unless it's allowed. Add value, an experience on an insight that is new and interesting and let people contact you if they need more info, do not initiate any sale messages, just create interest...

Yes, as long as you avoid duplicate content and AI slop etc. Value speaks for itself.

It depends sometimes it's not trivial, but for most trivial mistakes a good SEO can usually tell you what's wrong, this won't necessarily reverse the damage but at least you know what not to do to avoid the same result in the future.

Effective, yes both B2B and B2C. It's one of the few places, as long as you approach potential customers/clients with value first, and not look like you're selling something.

Best way is not to sell any service directly, add value and ask for dm if people have further questions/inquiries, that way they take the initiative.

Avoid VPN, especially free ones.
