Distinct people who posted about OpenAI, its families or its products on each platform, 28 Sep – 4 Oct 2026, as of 8 Oct 2026 12:00Z; in development. From reading r_18055a6a2ae4, where each post counts once (n 15,494 posts on Reddit). There’s no total row: people are counted per platform and never added together, because one person can post on several. OpenAI's share of each platform's posts in the 17 earlier stored weeks of the same era (2026-W23, 2026-W24, 2026-W25, 2026-W26, 2026-W27, 2026-W28, 2026-W29, 2026-W30, 2026-W31, 2026-W32, 2026-W33, 2026-W34, 2026-W35, 2026-W36, 2026-W37, 2026-W38, 2026-W39), per platform. Its figures are in those readings.

Distinct people who posted about each subject, 5–11 Jan 2026 (2026-W02), as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z; in development. Each column is that platform’s own summary table: the rank is out of every subject it lists, hidden ones included, and each bar is scaled to that platform’s #1 (Reddit ChatGPT at 7,516; Hacker News Claude at 35; n 10,050 posts for ChatGPT on Reddit). Nothing is added across platforms, because one person can post on several. A product’s posts also count in its family. A hidden figure is never shown as a number; the reason is the stored text. “Not on this week’s table” means the subject isn’t listed there that week.
Family and products, contained, not stacked
A product’s posts also count in its family; the lab counts each post once, so these are never added.

Distinct people on Reddit, 28 Sep – 4 Oct 2026 (2026-W40), as of 8 Oct 2026 12:00Z; in development. Each bar starts at zero on Reddit’s own scale, where Claude’s 10,876 (Reddit’s #1) is the full bar; n is posts (n 16,896 for Claude). OpenAI itself is not drawn here: its own reading counts 10,505 people on Reddit (n 15,494 posts), each post once across the family and its products. Reddit 7 days: 7 active.

Versions
Not in the registry yet. A version is added with its release date, taken from two sources that don’t cite each other; until it has one, it’s held.
How accurate OpenAI’s links are
Measured per method, not yet per subject. Each reading’s conditions give the precision of the links behind it.
