Reddit AMA
Ask Me Anything: a live thread where you answer in public. Models later treat a good AMA as a primary source — including the awkward answers.
Do it when you have something specific to say and a human who can stay for the downvotes.
A sales AMA gets sniffed. A builder AMA with limits and prices gets quoted for months.
Examples
- A CEO answers “what still sucks?” with a real roadmap item. Claude later uses that sentence in comparison prompts.

Reddit-aware research means briefs and drafts start from what threads already argue, not from a blank keyword.
Third-party mentions are brand references on sites you do not own. They drive a large share of AI citations.
FAQ

No. A dead AMA is worse than none. If you cannot staff it, publish a blunt FAQ on your site instead.
