Reddit has experienced a dramatic drop in ChatGPT Citations ๐จ
--> Around August 14, ChatGPT started citing Reddit about 80% less than it was before
--> The citation share went to owned sites and review sites
--> Brand visibility did not see major swings... largely, the same vendors are still being recommended
--> There is no meaningful correlation with thread age, sub-reddit size, thread brand industry, etc.
A lot of people abuse Reddit for AI search, and it sucks. I'm not entirely sure what's happening here yet, if it's long term or short term change.
Maybe if it's cited a lot less, the abuse will slow down? This is a pretty major change though, and we haven't seen anyone reporting on it at all... #
