Grok app in each platform’s table
Where Grok app sits among every ranked subject on each platform. The heavy mark is Grok app; every thin mark is another subject.
#23 of 45 on Reddit201 people · Claude 10,650 (#1)
45 ranked subjects, each a tick on Reddit’s own people scale, 0 to 10,650. 40 more subjects aren’t ranked: their people figures are hidden (n 0–15 people, below the threshold of 20), so they aren’t drawn.
Not ranked on Hacker News: n 0 people, below the threshold of 20 people.
Distinct people who posted about each subject on each platform, 16–22 Feb 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z, from release 2026-W08’s summary table (published). Each strip is on its own scale and nothing is added across platforms: one person can post on several. arXiv, Google News and Exa carry articles, which have no authors, so they have no ranking by people.
Attention
How many people posted about Grok app on each platform, and Grok app’s share of that platform’s records. One row per platform, each on its own terms.

Records published 16–22 Feb 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z; in development. People count distinct platform identities and are never added across platforms. Share is Grok app’s records over all records AIDRAN captured on that platform in the window. Reddit’s records are its posts and comments. A normal share is grok app's share of each platform's posts in the 7 earlier stored weeks of the same era (2026-W01, 2026-W02, 2026-W03, 2026-W04, 2026-W05, 2026-W06, 2026-W07), per platform.

Records about Grok app by community, 16–22 Feb 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z; in development. Each platform is drawn on its own scale. The word after each community is its type: who is there, not what it’s about (users are people who use one AI product; builders build with AI). A record counts once, in the community it was posted in.

Change compares this reading with the previous stored reading of the same subject, usually last week’s, and both endpoints stay visible with their dates. Each value carries its n; open it for its full conditions, coverage included. Stored weeks, above, cross eras, which marks a change in how weeks were captured: March era weeks were rebuilt from archives, with live capture from 7 Mar to 31 May, Archive backfill weeks were backfilled from archives (Reddit, Hacker News and arXiv only) and September era weeks were captured live from 16 Sep and filled in from archives.
