  @14e_ther Reddit does a good job at computer questions. It does a terrible job for any other questions.

  @syakirbuilds Reddit is especially good for this because people describe problems naturally, not like they’re answering a survey

  When I was a kid, this kind of bullying didn't exist. Either reddit (and by connection, bluesky) are the most toxic places in the internet or there's a huge toxicity problem with generation Alpha/Z (and this is one of the reasons I try not to interact with some anime fandoms).

  congrats on the ARR i guess, but the product is genuinely abysmal bought one last month. mic can't pick up a conversation unless you're in a silent room with zero background noise. It hears basically nothing if you actually put it in your pocket [ironic] speaker labels on the transcript are paywalled lol gave @AkshayNarisetti the benefit of the doubt and assumed i got a defective one, but reddit is full of people with the same problem.

  slavery is the least of rimworlds problems, you can: 1. harvest people organs 2. make furniture and clothes out of human parts 3. feed your prisoners to other things, including prisoners 4. torture them 5. you don't want to know one guy on reddit staged pit fights with the prisoners, the losers were fed to the other prisoners

  @Stonefoxcapital This is being taken way out of context. ChatGPT is citing more sources, as a percent of sources Reddit goes down (diluted). Doesn’t mean it’s not valuable. Why did OpenAI license $YELP data?

  @benschreiber_ Ah yea codes suck. Tons of abuse. Links are stronger but don’t fix fb groups or similar channels Adding payout conditions based on UTM data can be useful. Worked with brands where if the referring click on an aff link is Reddit for example, the commissions were blocked

  @WodenWanderer I get it, but it's also interesting that generations of American men have been circumcised, no issue, then gay ******** fetishists on reddit decide it's "mutilation" because they wanna **** dock, & suddenly every libtard thinks his perfectly fine functioning **** is "mutilated"

  The Sandwich (@shrek2fanboy) reported 15 minutes ago

  my issue with this game is it just feels like it was made by Reddit and the level design is insanely restricting. It got a GOTY nominee for no reason in a year with far better RPGs and games due to being a AAA western project

  Repusurance - Reputation Management (@repusurance) reported 18 minutes ago

  Here's the problem: AI doesn't see your brand the way your reputation dashboard does. It can connect: Reddit News Forums Review sites Blogs Social conversations Customer complaints One negative narrative repeated across multiple sources can become highly visible.

  Bengin | building Rank-Hub, SEO for busy founders (@bengincet) reported 24 minutes ago

  This is finally coming to a conclusion: SEO is not dead and never was. Now that reddit and capterra go down, it's almost the exact criteria you need for GEO as for SEO. I've always said that and it was always clear that this kind of quick wins by posting on reddit etc won't keep being as effective. Like obviously, why would LLMs trust an easy to manipulate concept, of course they'd notice that at some point.

  @levelsio Yeah reddit locked down its platform by requiring sign-in to view posts + comments (both on new reddit and old reddit)

• 
  Murica Enjoyer (@Muricaenjoyer) reported 27 minutes ago

  @levelsio It was sourcing from Reddit far too often and was becoming the old “Google the topic with the word Reddit at the end” instead of sourcing from other places. They tried to correct it but couldn’t stop it, so they eliminated Reddit from its search function and now it’s down to 1%

  Lee Hayward (@vibedcoder) reported 27 minutes ago

  Summary of the X post by @forgebitz (18 August 2026): ChatGPT has almost completely stopped citing Reddit in its responses. Promptwatch data shows Reddit’s share of citations fell sharply — from roughly 3–4% down to under 1% (and as low as ~0.5%) after 14 August 2026. The drop began after ChatGPT Search changed its query fanout behaviour on 8 August, with a further steep decline a few days later. The attached chart illustrates this near-wipeout of Reddit as a source.

  @pcshipp don’t lie man not only will you lose credibility if a user questions it but also might have some legal issues get a few early users to try it out, reach out to people here on X or reddit

  Mike Perez (@highrank) reported 36 minutes ago

  @gethoverboard Reddit is down huge. A big reason for this is fan-outs, which now are using way more “site:” (and “official”) which filter out a lot of domains from the citation consideration pool. Retrieved URLs are going up (I’m commonly seeing over 100 for a single prompt on thinking models) while the percentage of citations is falling.

  Ivan Palii 🇺🇦 (@IvanPalii) reported 39 minutes ago

  5 reasons why it's too early to bury Reddit as a marketing channel (for those who worried that Reddit is getting less cited in ChatGPT now) 1/ We have already seen how often ChatGPT experiments with citations. The drop in citations today does not guarantee that it will be permanent. 2/ ChatGPT is the largest player in the LLM market, but Google is gradually increasing its share. Gemini, AI Overview and AI Mod continue to cite Reddit. 3/ We do not know how the story of the revision of the terms of cooperation between Reddit and Google and OpenAI will end. But Reddit is escalating the revision of the terms of cooperation, because it considers its position strong. Reddit has indeed managed to significantly improve the work of anti-spam systems and continues to be the owner of unique data. If one of the big players refuses to work with Reddit, then the one who continues to work gets a big advantage. 3 advantages that make Reddit data unique: - the largest database of answers by long-tail queries - more than one opinion per thread (sites rarely interview experts and users for their content) - much better structured data than on other social platforms Because of this, I predict that Google will agree with Reddit on new terms. 4/ Yes, most brands have paid attention to Reddit only to improve visibility in AI. But those who do it correctly and for long enough notice that this channel has its own separate value. - No social platform gives as much organic reach for posts from brand pages as Reddit. - If LinkedIn and Meta are mostly used for demand generation, then on Reddit people often search for something just like on Google and those who track such queries and participate in discussions will receive real attention from the target audience. 5/ So many people hate Reddit for spam and fake accounts, despite the fact that Reddit is constantly doing a lot of work to fix this, while on LinkedIn 50% of comments and posts are already written by AI and there is no punishment for this at all. Last, most controversial thesis. There is an opinion that Reddit only affects queries where LLMs use RAG, and in this case Reddit affects answers, only because it is in the top of the Google SERP. But why then would OpenAI need a separate agreement with Reddit? Until ChatGPT completely refuses to use Reddit data, it remains possible that Reddit is also used for training data. I don’t know how to check this. If you have any studies or posts on this let me know.

  i got 40 signups in two days and felt nothing. let me explain. i built Formasty, an AI form builder with lead qualification, scoring, routing. i've repositioned it probably 4 or 5 times now. landing page, pitch, pricing, free tier. kept shipping through all of it. then i built a Claude connector and put it on the public directory. 40 signups in 48 hours. more than i'd gotten in weeks of cold outreach and Reddit ads combined. and not a single one of them created a form. people signed up, hit the dashboard, and left. that was it. so i'm sitting there looking at my analytics thinking, i solved the wrong problem. i spent months obsessing over getting people to the door and never thought about what happens when they walk in. turns out signups mean nothing if nobody actually uses the product. i had to watch 40 people ignore Formasty to understand that. here's the other thing about building solo at 16. you don't just lose momentum from bad metrics. you lose it from life. i started going to the gym two weeks ago. first time being consistent about it. and for those two weeks i basically abandoned Formasty. i stopped shipping entirely and ignored everything about the product. it felt like i had to choose between building my body and building my product. that's a dumb way to frame it but that's genuinely how it felt. now i'm back, shipping again. gym at 6am then Formasty after school, and the balance isn't perfect but it exists. what i actually changed when i came back: → redesigned the entire signup flow so you're forced to create a form before you even see the dashboard → added templates so there's no blank page problem → started tracking where the drop-off actually happens instead of just counting signups the first person who signed up, published a form, AND got a real submission came two days ago. one real user out of 40+ signups. and honestly that one felt better than the 40. i'm not going to pretend i have this figured out. i don't. i'm 16, building alone, learning that getting people to care is 10x harder than getting them to click. the build continues.

  I cannot reproduce the Reddit collapse in ChatGPT. Been running the same measurement through Openai's API all week, Reddit had its best day in 5 this morning. Last 15 days below. The collapse chart everyone is sharing is @promptwatch measuring ChatGPT Search, the app. Their data looks solid: 3.8% steady for a month, under 1% since Aug 14. Mine is the OpenAI API with web search, same question set daily: 2.2% before Aug 14, 1.7% after, 2.5% this morning. Both are real. The app and the API are choosing sources differently right now. Which matters, because if you optimize for one surface and measure with the other, your dashboard is fiction. Most tools never say which surface they watch. Worth knowing before the obituaries harden, @promptwatch themselves wrote that a data collection issue cannot be ruled out and the size of the drop is provisional. The people who made the chart are more careful with it than the people quoting it. This also happened before. September 2025, Reddit citations collapsed in ChatGPT. The eventual explanation was Google removing a search parameter, which broke the scraping pipes feeding both retrieval and the trackers measuring it. Partly plumbing, partly measurement artifact.

  @archer_uwu I'm like permanently ultra giga banned from reddit now but I have a couple old posts up detailing instructions to solve some obscure problem I had and I still get people thanking me in the replies like once a month. I can't imagine being so thoughtless as these people are.

  @Ersatz_Solus you are mindlessly reposting an ad disguised as a grievance. a lot of reddit boards are getting flooded by these "ai is so good at my job im having trouble thinking of things to make, i just press the button and it codes all my projects for me what do i do guys :(" posts

  @lilyraynyc Yeah, that's actually pretty funny. If you put "top CRM" into Google Search, it gives you top results from Reddit. But when you go inside, you're just reading garbage. It's just junk from people who go on there to originate junk, and it is very hard to get any good information out of it. Half of it is obviously just companies shilling for whatever their product is, and the rest is just junk. Because of the upvoting and downvoting, it is super hard to read; the messages and replies jump up and down constantly. I never understood this. I was always questioning who came up with the idea that user-generated content in the form of Reddit is good. It's just junk. A search for "top CRM" is the perfect example. If you go read those threads, it's insanity. You can't even read anything there. That exact search is just insane. The whole system of it is mind-boggling, and I don't know why it took them so long.
