Reddit’s back at 22% of ChatGPT citations after dropping to 7–8% in September/October. That’s a 3x jump in a single month.
What’s interesting: while Reddit recovered to its June/July baseline, Wikipedia dropped from 19% to 11% over the same period. OpenAI is clearly rebalancing their source mix, not just restoring what was there before.
One thing is clear: Reddit’s role in helping people validate decisions is important enough that ChatGPT brought it back fast. The utility of authentic problem-solving conversations apparently isn’t replaceable.
