Rule aeo-7a8d1c604b779c70 · authority_offsite · high confidence
Treat Reddit as category-shaping input rather than a reliable citation path, and never spam it with artificial brand recommendations.
Applies to: social
Why this matters
Dan Petrovic found ChatGPT discards the Reddit pages it pulls roughly 99% of the time, yet Reddit still tops most-cited lists in absolute terms; Reddit now uses LLMs to flag ~25,000 spammy posts/comments per day and bans offenders.
Implementation
Type: not_automatable
Anti-pattern
Astroturfing Reddit with fake recommendations, which risks account bans under Reddit's GEO-spam crackdown.
