Measured statements
In development Written by fixed rules from this reading’s stored figures. No model writes them.
On Reddit, 428 distinct people posted about Sora between 9 and 15 March 2026: 652 posts, an estimated 0.22% of that week's Reddit posts about AI (100.0% of these posts had an identifiable author).
Reddit · 9–15 Mar 2026 · author coverage 100.0% · 7 days: 7 backfilled
6 more statements withheld. n 1 people, below the threshold of 20 people. No posts about Sora on arXiv between 9 and 15 March 2026. Withheld for platforms not counted this week: Bluesky, YouTube, Google News and Exa.
What this reading rests on
| Platform | Days counted | How the posts were collected |
|---|---|---|
| 7 of 7 | Loaded afterwards from an archive | |
| Hacker News | 7 of 7 | Loaded afterwards from an archive |
| arXiv | 7 of 7 | Loaded afterwards from an archive |
Not counted: Bluesky and Google News, collected under an earlier method.
Not counted: YouTube and Exa, not being collected yet.
A day counts once it has settled: once the posts still expected for it are below the threshold, or, for posts loaded afterwards from an archive, once they’re loaded. Coverage day by day is in this reading’s conditions. How coverage is recorded.
This reading was made with methods that are still being validated. Every figure says which state it’s in.

Sora in each platform’s table
Where Sora sits among every ranked subject on each platform. The heavy mark is Sora; every thin mark is another subject.
#14 of 43 on Reddit427 people · Claude 12,479 (#1)
43 ranked subjects, each a tick on Reddit’s own people scale, 0 to 12,479. 42 more subjects aren’t ranked: their people figures are hidden (n 0–16 people, below the threshold of 20), so they aren’t drawn.
Not ranked on Hacker News: n 1 people, below the threshold of 20 people.
Distinct people who posted about each subject on each platform, 9–15 Mar 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z, from release 2026-W11’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 Sora on each platform, and Sora’s share of that platform’s posts. One row per platform, each on its own terms.

Not counted this week. Bluesky, YouTube, Google News and Exa have no day in this window that counts, so they have no figures here.
Hacker News. People hidden: n 1 people, below the threshold of 20 people. Share and posts hidden: n 1 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.
arXiv. People not applicable: arXiv posts are articles, which have no authors, so people aren’t counted. Share and posts hidden: n 0 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.

Posts published 9–15 Mar 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z; in development. People count distinct platform identities and are never added across platforms. Share is Sora’s posts over all posts AIDRAN captured on that platform in the window. Reddit’s posts include its comments. A normal share is sora's share of each platform's posts in the 10 earlier stored weeks of the same era (2026-W01, 2026-W02, 2026-W03, 2026-W04, 2026-W05, 2026-W06, 2026-W07, 2026-W08, 2026-W09, 2026-W10), per platform. Its figures are in those readings. Choose any number to see what it rests on and the posts behind it.

The five communities this reading stores; the rest of the track is posts in communities it doesn’t list.
Hacker News
Posts about Sora by community, 9–15 Mar 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 post 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.
