Saving Reddit from AI-driven SEO spam?
Reddit has become the most cited source by AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, making the platform attractive for marketers seeking to influence LLM responses. Moderators on subreddits like r/SkincareAddiction must now combat a new wave of marketing spam attempting to exploit this trend.
