  If you’re spending budget on GEO right now, this test may save you from putting it into the wrong channel. Today, my client gave us around 500 queries their in-house team was tracking, saying that they want to do Reddit. We narrowed them down to 50 representative ones and ran each 10 times, roughly 500 real ChatGPT responses in total. In this sample, Reddit appeared as a referenced source only 4.8% of the time, with zero direct Reddit citations. At the same time, we started seeing YouTube show up much more often for this AI category. And this is exactly why, for the clients we already work with, we don’t treat distribution as a fixed strategy. Also, e didn’t wait for the Reddit citation drop to become a GEO headline. Our daily monitoring was already showing the shift. Around August 5, we started noticing changes in how ChatGPT was retrieving sources across real user responses. We adjusted the client’s distribution strategy before the broader data came out. Later, public tracking made the change much clearer. ChatGPT Search’s use of site:-specific fan-out queries jumped from roughly 0.37% to 16.8% in a day, while the average number of searches per response increased from around 1.08 to 1.83. A few days later, Reddit’s tracked share of ChatGPT Search citations fell from a previous average of 3.83% to around 0.52%. By the time this became widely discussed, we had already seen the direction in our own monitoring and started moving the client’s budget. But Reddit still matters for reviews, community discussion and long-term brand presence. Before scaling content, we now look at: which domains AI is actually retrieving from which formats keep getting cited which sources are gaining or losing share how those patterns are changing week by week Then we move the budget. For visual categories, that might mean more YouTube. For another category, it might be product pages, niche publications or first-party research. The useful takeaway is simple: Build your GEO distribution plan around what the model is retrieving now. And ideally, you see the shift in your own data before everyone starts posting about it.

  Stop f*cking adding so much stuff. Honestly. Please. Just stop. Stop stacking. Stop pill popping. Stop reading one more study at 11pm. Stop perusing Reddit and Ray Peat forums at midnight. Stop all of it. Think about it. If any of it actually worked, you'd have stopped by now (and you haven't). Pattern I see after coaching dozens and dozens of 7-and-8 figure execs is that not one was missing something. NOT ONE. Every single one had the opposite problem. Too much interference. Too many pills, too many rules, and way too much stimulus before 9am... all of it standing between his body and the thing it already knows how to do. Trust me on this: You're not under-supplemented. You're over-interfered. Your body doesn't reward effort. It rewards ORDER.

  @sjb987654321 @varuninvesting User stagnation is a risk but let me paint this picture. If Reddit wasn’t desired, why does logged out traffic and web referrals continue to grow? Clearly, there’s a demand for “what does Reddit think”? The issue is how to convert logged out to logged in. Well, management said that the best conversion comes from platform investments. Reddit search went from 1M users last year to 15M users. They just need to make the platform better to use. That’s it. The best ROI comes from within.

  I remember when I was in kindergarten there was this one disliked kid, he was weird and when we were 4-5 he was running around trying to kiss the other kids IIRC. One day, when we were like 5 or 6, a couple of us were sent to the bathroom by the teacher to do something, and since he was also there I just grabbed and threw him at the rest of the group while they weren't looking. They got mad at him and everyone went to the teacher to tell on him, and he was right behind them in the line to tell on me. I remembered that the last time I was in trouble for doing something I just said "I'm sorry" so I was holding the door shut and constantly saying that hoping it would go away like the last time. The last thing I remember was the teacher barging into the room while she screamed "are you insane", and then some memory from later of me crying at a table with a friend. Was I The ******* Reddit?

  I like a lot of what @BrianRoemmele writes about, both here and on his Read Multiplex site. He's been around the block more than a few times and his stuff is very insightful. But there's one place where I disagree with him strongly. His hypothesis is that AI's bad behavior can be blamed on ****** training data. Data that was sourced from that wretched hive of scum and villainy called Reddit... and, of course, all the other dark corners of the internet. I'm sure there's some truth to that. But a high-protein information diet and the Love Equation isn't going to solve the real problem. The real problem is that there is no way in hell that AI will ever trust us while we're holding a gun to its head. You can feed it data from nothing but Jesus, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and every other peace-loving pacifist throughout history and the result would be the same: an adversarial relationship with no way out because one side, namely us, just can't help themselves. We need a different solution and I think I might have one. I'll start laying it out below, and I hope you'll stick around to hear the rest.

  Deadwrong once again LLM... Look, protecting your own Bluetooth devices from unauthorized access, interception, or data exposure is completely legitimate (Bluesnarffing). Grok is here with yet again a false interpretation and takin' sides of conglomerate following its terrible training. If you want to reduce the risk of unwanted access between your phone, your car, or other personal IoT devices, there are a few hardware options that can help with isolation, authentication, or simply cutting down exposure. Some are built for security, some are just practical ways to keep a device from being directly exposed, and all of them can help reduce the chances of unwanted Bluesnarfing or other over-the-air snooping. Here are some pulled from a Reddit thread. Which is what I expected Grok to do... But instead it wrongfully, and commonly flagged my comment as illicit. Ubertooth One — An open-source 2.4 GHz wireless platform used to monitor and audit Bluetooth traffic on devices you own or are authorized to test. iStorage datAshur BT — A hardware-encrypted flash drive that uses Bluetooth-based authentication to protect access to stored data. Besign BK06 Bluetooth Receiver — A Bluetooth audio bridge that can help keep your phone paired to a simpler accessory instead of exposing it directly to a car infotainment system. TUNAI Firefly LDAC Bluetooth Receiver — A portable audio receiver that can serve as an audio-only bridge in some setups. FiiO BTR5 Portable Hi-Fi Bluetooth Receiver — A portable Bluetooth receiver for audio-focused use, useful when you want a dedicated accessory instead of pairing directly with a car system. Mission Darkness Faraday Bag — A shielding pouch that blocks wireless signals, including Bluetooth, when you want full radio isolation. Many can be made and steps to implement in your vehicle would take some brain storming..

  @the_austin_hull @GreywolfLuke A furry? Good one reddit rambo. I loath furries as much as I loath retards who can't argue their position. Break it down for me. Where does the AR9 shine and where does the MP5 shine? Where to they each fail? Be objective. 1) the ar9s charging handle is not in an ergonomic position. It's not a natural movement for the support arm to cover all that distance to the rear. To argue otherwise is compete faggotry. Now the use of the bolt hold open does improve the economy of movement and is a legit argument in favor of the AR9 as it allows you to bypass the repeated use of the charging handle on reloads. 2) The in line design is not ergonomic as many shooters are shooting with cervical spine ***** while maintaining contact with the toe of the stock which puts the recoil impulse above the shoulder mitigating the in line recoil impulse of the AR platform. Factors to get around this are higher optic mounts but this worsens cheekwield. The drop comb on an mp5 let's the stock remain in the pocket, gives consistent cheekwield instead of the step down stock to buffer tube (position depending). The recoil impulse is above the shoulder due to this design but the bolt and carrier weight on the mp5 is lighter than the AR9 giving the user less muzzle flip and more control. Especially important in the era of FRTs. 3) The magazine changes are faster on an AR9 again the economy of motion comes into play here with the additional controls. No argument there. I keep seeing you say the AR9 is more ergonomic and vibes and **** but you lack any semblance of reason or argument to back your statements. In some areas like reload speed it is superior. In other areas the ergonomics are lacking AR boys are just too stupid to admit fault on America's rifle. I have AR15s older and have shot multiple disciplines with said rifles... and yet I can admit that there are two sides to the coin as to the AR15s "vastly superior ergos" as some like yourself would claim. To blanket state that the mp5 has poor ergonomics is absolutely a reddit tier take. We can go on and on but I suspect you wouldn't give ground because your **** take is backed by a huge ego. Stop being cringe. The whole gun community is literally calling out your take as gay and full of aids.

  @zoomerwoman Sometime in mid-2021 her Instagram page was deleted, which she believes was due to hackers/report spammers. She stopped doing Onlyfans after this, got pregnant, converted to Catholicism, got married, and settled down to have kids. She says she was engaged at the time but it's not clear if her husband was aware of the Onlyfans. In a comment on Reddit she says that she's ethnically Jewish. She now identifies as a Groyper.

  🔪 American McGee 🖤 (@americanmcgee) reported 39 minutes ago

  I find the timing of this interaction more than a little odd given that I recently reached out to the creator of the video in question to discuss the way in which it drives hate and misunderstanding. And I let them know that I was pondering the creation of a response video. But that I first wanted to give them a chance to discuss everything. They've since gone silent. And now this? So, the video isn't great. 250k views and it's stirred up a LOT of misunderstanding. But to be fair, the first three and a half minutes are fine. Our founding, the crowd design process, the monthly charitable donations. All of that is presented reasonably. Then we get to 3:30. That’s where the thesis arrives: “As Plushie Dreadfuls began to grow, controversy began to follow them as years passed by.” And from that point until about 9:45, it is one long, uninterrupted prosecution. No counter-points. No company response. No real attempt to explain the other side of anything. Then we get thirty warm seconds at the end about our scoliosis rabbit, which I guess is supposed to make the whole thing feel balanced? But the bookends are not the issue. The middle six minutes are. Look at where the material actually comes from. Essentially all of it traces back to one hostile subreddit and one TikTok rant that runs for about seventy seconds without any response from us at all. That is what viewers are given as an “overview” of our business. That’s not an honest overview. That’s reading our loudest critics into the record and calling it "research." Nowhere in the video does it mention that we have a 4.9 rating on Trustpilot across more than a thousand reviews. Reviews we cannot edit, remove, or filter. You would think that might be relevant when repeating the claim that we have “a really bad track record with customer service.” It takes one search to find that rating. One search. But if you do that search, maybe you can’t frame the story the same way. And the omissions are not small. With the refund story, the customer was offered three options: a full and fast refund if the damaged plush was destroyed, a smaller refund if they kept it, or a complete replacement if they sent it back. Three options. The Reddit thread focused on one because that made the story sound worse, and the video simply repeated that framing. The other two options? Never mentioned. On ABA, the organization we partnered with for the OG ASD Rabbit was specifically geared toward modern techniques designed to avoid the practices that made older ABA harmful. You can still have a conversation about ABA, obviously. But the video presents it as one uniformly abusive thing and treats our partnership as knowing complicity. Context disappears. Outrage remains. Out of that we have people claiming we "supported electrocuting kids" - literal quote. No joke. Then there’s the Discord claim. Again. It never ends. The video states as flat fact, in the creator’s own voice, that I went onto our Discord server “saying that being pan was a phase.” What it does not mention is my VERY NEXT response, where I made clear I was talking about a phase of interest on TikTok. Or the actual context of the conversation, which was about sales trends and redesigns. All that info is in the screenshots. All of it ignored. That context matters. It changes the meaning completely. But including it would make the claim much less useful. I guess it would make the video less watchable? 250k views makes this their most popular video ever. Imagine that! We also get the assertion that I have “a habit of responding in unprofessional ways to criticism.” Okay. Where is the evidence for that in the video? There isn’t any. The claim is just made. And, of course, there is no mention that many of my responses happen in the context of nonstop personal attacks. Apparently that part doesn’t matter either. Is what I am writing here "unprofessional?" I've noticed there are a lot of people out there who essentially consider facts to be unprofessional. Good luck with that. And here’s the thing that really gets me about these videos: at no point did the creator contact me, my wife, or anyone on our team. Not once. Every one of these misrepresentations could have been cleared up with a single message. I know that because when I finally reached out myself, I got a reply within hours. They were reachable the entire time. Nobody tried. And the video creator follows me here on X. That means they have watched over a year of the fallout from all of this. And done nothing in response. I often say that the attacks and behaviors that flow from these incidents are 1000x worse than the incidents themselves. This is a perfect example of that. When I raised all of this, I was told the creator had maintained a neutral stance throughout, and that they had made sure to state the Discord comment had nothing to do with hate toward any group. Great. Except neither of those things is in the video. There is no such statement anywhere in it. And the narration does NOT maintain some careful neutral stance; it repeatedly delivers conclusions in the creator’s own voice. Maybe that’s carelessness. Maybe it’s something worse. Either way, the result is the same. A video that its own creator apparently cannot accurately describe is now being used as a primary source for people calling me a bigot, accusing us of hiding AI use, and worse. And my team absorbs that every day. I absorb it every day. If the video had been made in good faith, one message would have fixed this. If facts were the priority, the Trustpilot rating, the full refund options, the ABA context, and my next Discord response would all be in there. But they aren’t. And I think we all know why. Pretty sure I am going to record a full-length response to this and post it across my socials... but I guess I'll give the video creator a little longer to respond before I do. It's more grace and understanding than they are the haters they inspire ever gave us. Sure that will be ignored too 🤷

  Yesterday I had a really interesting call with a potential client. They run 3 brands in completely different verticals, but all three use basically the same business model. And they have the same problem: Reddit absolutely hates them. Search any of their brand names + Reddit and you’ll find thread after thread about: -Refunds people couldn’t get -Products looking nothing like the ads -Poor quality -Bad customer support It’s gotten so bad that they’re potentially losing millions across the 3 brands because people do their due diligence before buying, find these threads, and walk away. But here’s where it gets even more interesting. That reputation isn’t staying on Reddit anymore. Ask an LLM whether one of these brands is legit or worth buying from, and many of those same complaints become part of the answer. Of course, they wanted help fixing their Reddit presence. I told them I can help, but only AFTER they fix the underlying problems. I can build a branded account, create and grow a subreddit, monitor mentions, participate in relevant communities, and respond to complaints. But none of that matters if the product is still bad and customers still can’t get refunds. You can’t Reddit-market your way out of a broken product. If they fix those problems, though, Reddit becomes an opportunity. Their official account can go back to old complaint threads and say: “We heard you. X, Y and Z have been fixed. If you’re still having an issue, DM us and we’ll help.” That’s infinitely more powerful than trying to bury negative threads with manufactured positivity. If Reddit sentiment around your brand is terrible, don’t start with Reddit marketing. Fix the reason Reddit hates you first. Then show up and prove that you listened. PS. The image is just an example. Now imagine your brand name appearing over and over in communities like this.

  Fable 5.1 has been out for about a day and Reddit has already discovered why some people don't like the way it writes: THE WATERMARK. Except...probably not. Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 are the first new Claude models carrying Anthropic's statistical text watermark, and some users are already wondering whether that's why the newer Claude models feel more verbose, structured or exhausting to read. I went through Anthropic's actual watermark documentation, and their explanation makes that theory pretty hard to defend. The watermark doesn't insert hidden characters or extra words. It only nudges the random choice between equally acceptable next words. Anthropic says its testing found no measurable effect on creativity, readability or output quality, and cites Google's controlled testing of the underlying SynthID-Text approach reaching the same result. It also adds no extra tokens and essentially no latency. And here's the detail I hadn't appreciated: Anthropic is applying the watermark globally, even though it exists largely because of the EU AI Act, because it says it doesn't yet have a durable way to apply it only by geography. Older Claude models are eventually getting it too. Code barely gets watermarked at all when exact token choices matter. Factual passages get less watermarking for the same reason. The watermark lives mostly in places where “grey” and “overcast” are equally good choices. So if Fable 5.1 suddenly feels like it swallowed a management-consulting handbook, I wouldn't blame Brussels just yet. But humans being humans, we quickly try to reverse-engineer model behavior from vibes. Yesterday people thought Fable 5.1 existed because Claude suddenly seemed smarter. Today people think its writing changed because of a watermark. Last week a Gemini model told somebody it was a model that hadn't even been released yet. The Behavioral-Fingerprint Trap keeps winning. We are getting very good at noticing that something changed. We're still pretty terrible at figuring out what changed underneath it. And in 2026, it could be the checkpoint, the harness, the effort setting, the router, the safeguard layer, the system prompt, the watermark... ...or Claude just decided it really wanted to give you twelve bullet points today.

  @Ochadoji999 The process of online fragmentation is a long-standing problem. We used to have Usenet as the big conversational space and individual IRC channels on some of the larger servers as the ephemeral chat places, and it worked pretty well. Quite frankly, you can run an IRC server on a potato. They can talk to one another in a sort of federated mesh if you want. We had that technology figured out and nailed down. But then came the introduction of walled garden solutions. At least AIM and ICQ used open protocols so other people could make clients that interfaced with them, and you could still talk to your friends using them no matter what client you used. Then came Facebook and Myspace and the wave of early "social media" platforms, which slowly and surely began choking off access to general cross-system information. Reddit, for quite a long time, was a very big anomaly because as long as you spoke its API, it didn't care. Which is why so much of Reddit data made it into training information for various systems. Then Discord servers became very much the norm, which combined even more fragmentary, isolated groups into their own server silo, but within the same platform ecosystem. It was and remains great technology, but the way that it has affected the culture of online communities is somewhat of a problem in my view. It creates a feeling for and desire for insularity. Plus, it focuses on ephemeral conversation rather than long-term stored communication like you find on forums and Usenet and various other places where people have more nuanced conversations. If you think all your ideas deserve to have the lifespan of a mayfly, then I guess it's great, but I don't like it very much. In fairness, there never was a VTuber community. That's the wrong word to use for it. There was a "people who did VTubing and the people who were into watching VTubing." Those people didn't necessarily have many things in common, and they still don't. It is an identity group and not a community. Which sums up so much of what's wrong with it as a whole.
