everyone calling Reddit dead because ChatGPT stopped citing it is wrong
Promptwatch said Reddit's share of ChatGPT citations went from 3.83% to 0.52%
when in April it was the most cited domain in ChatGPT
the panic is fair
if you built your AI visibility plan on Reddit, you'd be worried about it going to waste
but almost nobody opened the other dataset
Ahrefs looked at 145M US Google results
when the "discussions and forums" block shows up, Reddit is still in it about 84% of the time
Reddit lost one channel (maybe, it's not definite yet), but it's still showing up in the other one your buyer uses before they've decided anything
and nobody has a comparable baseline for the ChatGPT number either:
- Promptwatch had Reddit at 3.83% of citations before the drop
- Ahrefs, same platform, around the same time, had it at 16.7%
- Semrush once put it near 60%
yet everyone quoted an 86% collapse off a number the industry measures four different ways
and nobody outside OpenAI can actually explain either one. we all rebuilt our strategy around a number one tracker caught
Reddit is miserable to market on
it takes months of being useful before anyone lets you mention what you built
so continue doing that
