Four days is enough time to lose 86% of your visibility. Just r/AskReddit.
One does not simply stay cited: Reddit’s share of ChatGPT Search citations fell from 3.83% to an average of 0.52% between Aug. 14 and Aug. 17, per Promptwatch.
Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode showed only a gradual slide, so this looks ChatGPT-specific.
The data shows when, not why. Watch your own citation trends instead of trusting a stable source hierarchy.
And AI keeps being a training stock, apparently: A Connecticut streamer filed a class action against Twitch and Amazon for training AI on his content without permission.
Twitch’s own product chief said nobody would opt in if it were opt-in. Not exactly a good statement to make, is it?
Slop has a scoreboard now: More than a million people used LinkedIn’s “seems like AI slop” report in two weeks. We wonder if that’s a new record for such a feature.
Content LinkedIn defines as slop now gets 40% fewer views.
And YouTube is tidying up: Copyright and AI likeness claims now live in one “Claims” tab, with four dispute categories including parody and public interest.
Likeness claims carry no channel strikes.
The signals keep showing how AI features and new problems in marketing arrive together.
