Reddit stock jumps after company rolls out new AI advertising tools
The two new features, announced Monday in a post during the Cannes Lions festival, will help brands better leverage discussions on the platform. The company said the tools are powered by an engine called Reddit Community Intelligence that turns "posts and comments into structured intelligence."
Reddit announced a "listening tool" called Reddit Insights, which shares real-time insights with marketers to help them identify trends and launch campaigns. The other tool, called Conversation Summary Add-ons, allows brands to show "positive" user content under their ads.
"These are tools for a new era of community marketing, one where brands can tap into Reddit's authenticity and connect meaningfully with high-intent communities around the world," the company wrote.
The company said Publicis served as the exclusive alpha tester for Reddit Insights, while Lucid and Jackbox Games were among the early testers for Conversation Summary Add-Ons.
Companies across industries are betting on new ways to harness AI to improve advertising campaigns and better engage with users. These new tools are transforming the industry while also putting pressure on some advertising stalwarts.
The industry is also currently navigating a bumpy environment spurred by the trade war with China.
During the recent earnings season, many companies warned of sluggish advertising sales in certain regions due to a rocky macroeconomic environment. Recent developments, however, have suggested a cooling of tensions between the U.S. and China.
Last month, Reddit posted strong sales and upbeat guidance. The company has benefited from recent changes to Google search and internal site improvements, which include convincing logged-out users to open accounts. Logged-in accounts are more beneficial to advertisers.

This viral ChatGPT prompt can teach you anything — and I'm officially hooked
If you've ever asked ChatGPT to explain something and felt like the answer was too vague, too fast or just not sinking in, you're going to want to try this viral prompt. As a power user, I have tested a thousands of prompts and definitely have my favorites. But now, I have a new one. I used to get overwhelmed trying to learn new topics, but since discovering this now-viral Reddit prompt, all of that has changed. Unlike other prompts that may be designed for productivity or brainstorming, this particular prompt is designed to turn ChatGPT into a customized, interactive tutor. The prompt, originally shared on r/ChatGPT, gives the AI a structured role: to ask questions before answering, tailor explanations to your level and then offer multiple paths of exploration. In other words, instead of dumping information at you, it's more interactive so it builds a learning plan tailored to you. After testing it across topics from neuroscience to personal finance, I can confidently say: it works. The Reddit prompt is dense and might be confusing because it looks a little different than most prompts. But, you're going to want to copy the entire prompt into ChatGPT and hit send. From there, the AI will prompt you with follow up questions. Too bulky? I've streamlined a version of it for you: Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Immediately, ChatGPT shifts from reactive assistant to proactive guide. It starts by asking smart, clarifying questions, then delivers layered responses that build on each other. Whether I wanted a summary or a deep dive, it adjusted. It even offered practice questions and examples tailored to my interests. I tried the viral prompt to take a deep dive into the history of 1960s rock n' roll and learned stuff my parents didn't even know. The add-on prompts helped me deepen my retention, fill in gaps and stay engaged. I have used them for everything from world history to animal facts. There is realy no limit to how helpful this prompt can be for continued education. What makes this prompt so effective is that it aligns with the way people learn best: through interaction, scaffolding and feedback. When ChatGPT asks what you already know, it avoids wasting time on the basics or skipping too far ahead. When it checks your understanding, it simulates the feedback loop of a live tutor. That back-and-forth is what turns passive reading into active learning. It also adds accountability. You're not just being told information that can be misread or overlooked, you're being quizzed, nudged and guided to ensure you 'get it.'That makes it easier to stay focused and retain the material. Plus, when you tell ChatGPT how much time you want to spend, it shapes the experience into something manageable and realistic, which reduces overwhelm. If you're serious about learning something new and want to dive deeper than just surface-level answers, this Reddit prompt is a game-changer. It transforms the chatbot into a true learning coach, guiding you step-by-step with clarity, structure and interaction. Add a few follow-up prompts, and you'll wonder why you ever tried to learn from static Google results or explainer videos that couldn't answer your specific questions. Try it and let me know in the comments what worked for you.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Issues? It Might Just Be Your HDMI Cable
As the Switch 2 continues to sell in the millions for Nintendo, it shouldn't be a surprise that there'd be some issues with the console. It appears, however, that one problem Switch 2 owners are facing is actually just a matter of using the wrong cable. Reddit users have posted about their Joy-Cons disconnecting when they're playing on their Switch 2 while it's docked, an issue spotted earlier by IGN. It does appear that, luckily, the issue can be resolved by using the included HDMI cable for the Switch 2 rather than an older, slower one -- including the cable that came with the original Nintendo Switch. Nintendo laid out the solution on its support page for when the Joy-Con 2 starts disconnecting from the console: Confirm that you're using an "Ultra High Speed" HDMI cable to connect the dock to the TV. If it's not Ultra High Speed, your console won't perform as expected when docked. If you're using a different cable than the one that came with the console, it should have printed on the cable that it's "Ultra High Speed." The HDMI cable that came with the Nintendo Switch is not "Ultra High Speed" and should not be used with the Nintendo Switch 2 dock. Nintendo didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about the source of this issue. Since the Switch 2 launch, many gamers have come to realize that Nintendo's new console is very picky about what cables are connected to it. This goes for the HDMI cable as well as the power cable. While the new and old Switch share the same name, they don't share the same components. The Switch 2 is a huge upgrade in graphics power over the 2017 console, which means it needs the appropriate power supply. Not providing the Switch 2 with sufficient power could likely cause some issues, especially if the system has to do a lot of work to run a game.
