Reddit is my warning flag when AI gives me an answer. If I see Reddit linked, I know to disregard the answer entirely. They may as well be scraping 4chan.

That's funny. As if the user growth was anything but bots anyways.

I chceked the past price and, yes, the stock is back to what was it back in March this year. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/RDDT/?guccounter=1 And there were swings close to as big as today since then. Not really much of news then.

Maybe it's them getting more and more user hostile...

I'm tracking Reddit vs LLM thing somewhat. As much as I hate Reddit, I truly believe it is a net good and probably a big reason LLMs are useful now.

In my cute investigation, I found that only Claude doesn't have access to Reddit posts whereas every other app like Grok, ChatGPT indexes it.

Reddit has unfortunately fallen into a local maxima of people with a certain type of progressive view and you would get heavily downvoted for anything that opposes it. Even the old adage of "reddit is the only place you can get organic reviews of products" doesn't hold up anymore. At the moment Reddit doesn't seem to offer anything other than a sort of anonymous Facebook groups thingy - subreddits for extremely niche hobbies and discussions on neighbourhoods like /r/berlin.

Other than that, what signal does Reddit really give? And where?
