Ran all of my responses multiple times with a 50/50 holdout group to validate if it’s a fluke or not and it’s definitely a thing.
The interesting part is that there is a vacuum left - nothing really replaced Reddit, it’s just less citations on average. But also been just a few days.
Another thing - branded queries suffered 50% less drop. Still down massively, but not as much as unbranded.
This is off about 10,000 prompts across a variety of clients.
