Social media citations
When answers cite X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, etc. Each network is a different evidence culture.
Reddit is often the loudest for “what sucks.” YouTube for teardowns. LinkedIn for B2B thought-leader mush — which models sometimes swallow anyway.
Pick the network where the argument already happens.
Examples
- A product gets a YouTube drama video. Gemini cites the transcript. Your blog silence does not cancel it.
