Reddit used to be one of the biggest sources for ChatGPT answers, and now that presence seems to have almost disappeared after the recent changes.

One policy change can completely reshape what the AI ecosystem sees.

It's difficult to explain how much AI loves reddit

Look at the period before the changes. It wasn't just "lots of reddit citations" - it was "LINEARLY INCREASING levels reddit citations"

OpenAI engineers eventually become concerned about this. "even for us, this is too much reddit"

They roll out a change on August 8th. It seems to work - reddit citations are down almost 40%

But the AI somehow recovers and starts increasing its levels of Reddit citations again. Within three days, the reddit citations are going exponential

OpenAI engineers are in a state of emergency. "It's a geometric expansion. If we don't act fast, our safety guardrails will be overwhelmed. Every single ChatGPT response will be transformed into a reddit link"

They pull the doomsday lever, hard-banning the website reddit dot com from being output as an answer by ChatGPT

Despite this, it still happens 1% of the time...
