Original Reddit post

been digging into what AI actually cites (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews) and Reddit keeps topping the list, often above wikipedia and youtube. meanwhile corporate blogs and brand sites barely show up. kind of makes sense when you think about it. the model wants the messy stuff, people comparing products, complaining, saying what broke after two weeks. a thread where 15 strangers argue over 4 options beats your “why we’re the best” page every time. what breaks my brain is a stat from Ahrefs that ~80% of the URLs ChatGPT cites aren’t even in Google’s top 100. so the page doesn’t need to rank, it needs to be where real conversations happen. submitted by /u/Conscious_Ad_821
