I’ve been using Reddit for a long time, and I’ve noticed inconsistent reactions to similar posts. Sometimes I receive positive feedback and upvotes; other times I receive a lot of negative responses with no obvious explanation. After two years of using Reddit, I still don’t understand how Reddit users think or the psychology behind these reactions

2025 changed how I think about digital marketing. AI tools became normal. Attention got more expensive. Short content beats long plans. Distribution matters more than features. I am curious what actually worked for you this year. No theory. Just real lessons from practice.

I want to understand what triggers the “nope” reaction on HN. Sometimes a post might be interesting, but something about it feels off and people downvote fast.

What makes you instantly downvote a post here? What patterns make you trust a post and upvote it?

If you have examples of good vs bad wording, I would love to learn.

Hi; I am a solo developer running a small online service. Stripe and PayPal are not an option for my use case, so I am considering a high risk payment processor or a high risk merchant account.

If you have used one before, can you share how it went in practice

-How long did onboarding and approval take for you

-What extra documents did they ask for, and how strict was the review

-What fees did you actually pay (setup fees, monthly fees, processing percent, reserves, rolling reserve)

-Did they hold funds often or cause cash flow issues

-Any red flags you wish you knew before signing

Also, if you think this is a bad plan for a solo dev, what would you do instead

If you can recommend a few providers you trust, that would help a lot. Thanks
