This week: ChatGPT and Reddit are seeing other people, Google says everything in moderation, LinkedIn is grading your comments, and X stops paying for copy-paste.
Rumor has it ChatGPT wants an open relationship with Reddit
ChatGPT cut Reddit's citations by 86%, per Promptwatch. But it still appears to be reading Reddit behind the scenes. The credit is going to brand help pages, review sites, and LinkedIn instead.
Do this: Make sure your website actually answers your customers' questions.

Google whispers to AI content: everything in moderation
Google called its latest spam update "normal." Rankings took a bigger hit than usual, and analysts think mass-produced AI content was the target.
Do this: AI can draft it. A human needs to finish it.

LinkedIn is ranking comments now. "Great post!" crowd: back of the thread, please
LinkedIn now sorts comments by relevance instead of time posted, after one analysis found nearly a third of comments were written by AI.
Do this: Curb your "Congrats!" Add one real thought or keep scrolling.

X stopped paying for copy-paste. Moment of silence for the repost accounts
X's new rewards program only pays for original content. Reposts earn nothing. If you were paying rent with other people's memes, the check is not in the mail.
Do this: Make something worth stealing.
