    @CiroDiMarzio03 @JonahLupton @jeichner5 How won’t Reddit exist in 10 years. Do people start deleting the app and not searching for Reddit content? It’s remarkable that in an AI era it is still one of the most searched websites and people continue to fabricate doomsday cases. They have a SEO problem. It’s not existential because they are under monetized. Meta does $120+ ARPU for US users. Reddit is hardly at $10. Do the math. That gap can bridge and Reddit has massive incremental leverage from a monetization standpoint without having to do anything. Reddit will continue to grow users (international). US markets remain tight. Not sure why you’re making up bear cases.

    a good chunk of what people find of mine came through reddit. watching reddit get quietly dropped out of AI answers this month was a useful scare. none of my three products own their traffic. not one. if a search algorithm sneezes i find out from a dashboard. spent tonight writing down every place someone can reach me that isn't an algorithm's decision. the list is short. that's the problem.

    reddit just blocked incoming traffic for anyone accessing the 'old' (true) reddit. And I already deleted my last account. I used to lurk there to read anime discussions on certain episodes but can only use old since new is too slow. So. . .I guess this is finally goodbye #reddit

    Brands who use reddit as their persona extraction system Have you ever asked yourself the question, are these persona’s commercial enough? Because not every person who talks about their problems and painpoints have a purchasing power to solve it like you assume. Think commercial anytime you are doing persona extraction. This is a hot take I can stand by.

    literally the only other place other than MAL to look at active episode anime discussions. . .and now that's basically behind a login wall or the horrible new reddit. Welp. If anyone knows ANY better active anime forum (not discord) please let me know!!!! #anime

    2/ Reddit published nothing different. Nothing removed. Nothing penalised. ChatGPT changed how it picks sources, and one of the most cited domains on the internet became a rounding error.

    Reddit just got dropped from 15% of chatgpt citations down to 0. Not sure if they caught on on reddit-ai-slop or maybe it's because you need to log in through old.reddit now

    @LominsanAnchovy I got in trouble for posting one of your community posts from YouTube on the r/FFXIV Reddit. People really get upset with ign sharing ig. However im pretty sure that the people in the screenshot cant be punished cause you can reflect mods on others who dont use any lol.

    @CollectorDare @CardPurchaser Personally would just attempt to fix it or hire a professional to do it. I’ve never seen a defect submission come back positive on here, facebook, IG, or reddit.

  • sarthakcore
    Sarthak Rawool (@sarthakcore) reported

    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.

    @Dgtldead @hutchinson Yep. I remember there were multiple daily threads on the BO3 reddit bitching about the prevalence of getting shoved into in-progress matches with endless streaked raining down and a parade of new players instantly quitting.

    obviously knew they were going down a dark path after seeing their obscure ig lives and the controversy with the camera but the recounts on reddit rn are just deplorable

    Mike Ward (@wards_66) reported

    @mcuban The problem is not so much that AI can’t do stuff because “no hands no eyes” but that drs have a limited capacity to know about anything they have not observed. I have experienced this myself where drs have tried to figure out a problem I had for 3 years and after giving up and using AI and Reddit, solved the problem myself, never having to deal with it again.

    Reddit citations in ChatGPT down from ~4% to under 1% in a week. can't say I'm sad. they banned my 9yr old account for sharing a link 😭

    The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported

    @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?

    @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.

  • t838130
    Henrik Telle (@t838130) reported

    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.

    Several years ago when Reddit locked down their APIs and killed of things like Apollo, I generally stopped visiting it. I poked my head in to share the Leviath launch to some areas I thought would find it interesting, especially around the underlying tech and how it makes local LLMs more viable. Apparently Reddit is just.... anti-AI? Like, every single community now is basically an anti-AI crapshow? When on earth did Reddit go from being the "edgy niche" part of the internet to a blind "tech bad" place? Do we need a new alternative to Reddit? 😳

    Reddit story where college roommates have been friends for like a decade+ with no success dating other people. One day they're sitting on the couch and she breaks down because she's feeling the pressure of dating. He comforts her. They sleep together. They keep sleeping together.

    @DelvinFourcand @MARVELTokon I have a feeling this is just a hotfix they're pushing out now suddenly after the cracked version showing it's the DRMs that are the issue has hit the more mainstream gaming media outside reddit and the FGC. More of a save-face damage-control patch than anything
