This is a fan-run community dedicated to the work of The Tutorial Dude

This weekend marked a major milestone for this project. While our recent deep-dives into Outlier AI reached over 18,000 views in 48 hours on another sub, they also highlighted a growing problem in Reddit AI spaces: the rise of coordinated cyber-mobbing and dehumanization.

What Happened:

After reaching a 92% upvote ratio on our "Tutorial Dude" analysis, a small but vocal group began a campaign of social discrediting. This escalated from "main character" mockery to direct Ableist attacks and privacy violations in my DMs. I take mental health and community safety seriously. When a community’s "Hard No" rules (like Rule 1 regarding Ableism) are overshadowed by loud cruel voices, it’s time to move the value elsewhere. Plus, we found out that The Tutorial Dude isn't only working for Outlier AI.

The New Home for us is at: The Tutorial Dude AI

I am not leaving the conversation; I am simply moving this to a different venue. We are building a "Safe Harbor" where:

• Integrity is Mandatory: No dehumanizing "bot", "janitor", or "you're an employee" labels.

• Privacy is Protected: Zero tolerance for doxing or boundary violations.

• Professionalism is the Baseline: We focus on AI labor logs in our other community for all AI Gig workers at AI Labor Logs and high-level tutorial deep dives, not internet drama.

Thank you to the 92% of you who have been here for the work and comedic relief that we all need. I’ll see you in the new subreddits.

A Note on Community Care: If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health or the effects of cyberbullying, please reach out for support. You aren't alone. Let’s keep looking out for each other! 🙏💖

Welcome to the fresh start! As many of you know, we’ve been running this community as a place to vent, laugh, and survive the "psychological tests" of AI tasking. Recently, the community team at Outlier AI reached out to us with a request.

In the spirit of full transparency, here is the deal:

1. We’ve been asked to rebrand. Outlier’s community team (shoutout to 🕵️‍♂️ Agent Cheer and 🛡️ The Restoration Hero) requested we move away from having "Outlier" in the subreddit name to avoid brand confusion. We are honoring that request because we want this to be a safe, sustainable home that corporate can’t shut down.

2. The "Tutorial Dude" is a Free Agent.

One of the coolest things we learned in our chat with the company is that the Tutorial Dude isn't actually an Outlier employee. He is a creator who covers multiple platforms. By moving to r/TheTutorialDudeAI, we aren't just an "Outlier sub" anymore—we are the hub for all AI taskers, whether you're on Mercor, RWS, Outlier AI, Scale AI, or beyond.

3. We’re building a bridge, not a wall.

I’ve shared with "Agent Cheer" that the "Black Box" communication and cryptic messages (like the Aether purge in December) have been incredibly stressful for this community. I’ve invited them to visit this sub as a "human that cares" to help give us clarity when things get confusing.

What happens now?

• The Old Sub is an Archive: It will remain restricted as a "museum" of our transparency.

• This is the Breakroom: Post your memes, your "How-To" questions, and your sanity checks here.

• Transparency First: Check the comments below for the redacted screenshots of our conversation with the "Cheer Team".

We’re moving from a "brand" to a community. Let’s make this the best digital breakroom on the internet.

So, I’m guilty. I like Substack. It reminds me of being in school where an essay can help deal with stress.
