Community validation

Endorsement of your brand in community and user-generated spaces like Reddit, Quora and niche forums, where real people vouch for you in context. Reddit in particular is one of ChatGPT’s most-cited sources and a foundational LLM training source. It’s earned by contributing genuinely useful answers where your product fits — spamming your brand name backfires fast.
