Each card is the lead measured statement of one platform’s first place: the stored statement whose figures include that platform’s people count, shown verbatim.

The summary table

Every subject’s place on each platform that counts people, side by side. Read down a column for one platform’s ranking; read across a row to see how differently the platforms rank one subject.

All 85 subjects70 more in Reddit’s order; hidden ones hatched

All 85 subjects on one page

Distinct people who posted about each subject, 3–9 Aug 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 13:30Z; published. Each column is scaled to its own #1 and ranks on its own; nothing is added across platforms, because one person can post on several. Rows follow Reddit, the default platform. Hatched cells are hidden, never shown as a number. The stored reason, e.g. Reddit DALL·E: “n 18 people, below the threshold of 20 people”. Each column’s n 285,884 posts on Reddit.

Posts, no peoplearXiv and Exa are not ranked. Article sources have no authors, so people aren’t counted. Posts per subject, largest first:

arXiv n 423 posts · 85 subjects

Qwen 22, GPT 13, Gemini 9, Claude 7 posts, and 81 more subjects

Exa n not recorded · 85 subjects

Not counted this week: Exa has no day between 3 and 9 August 2026 that AIDRAN counts, so there’s no figure to show.

The week after

The same subjects one week later, on the platform with enough people. Qwen grew on Reddit while MiniMax H-series eased.

Distinct people per subject on each release’s board, for subjects with n ≥ 100 posts in both weeks (26 on Reddit), as of 25 Sep 2026 13:30Z; published. Each panel on its own scale; lines join one subject’s two weeks. Each week’s n is its platform’s posts: Reddit n 285,884 and 287,924 posts. 2026-W32 and 2026-W33 follow on from each other, so their lines are joined.

What the fills and flags meanactive, episodic, not started, no lane; partial, low capture, late heavy; settled

: Active. AIDRAN was collecting that day.
: Episodic. Collected in batches, not continuously.
: Not started. Collection hadn’t begun; posts published that day were captured later and do count.
: No lane. Collection had stopped.
flag: Partial, low capture, late heavy. A day captured only in part, captured thinly, or whose posts mostly arrived late. On a phone a bar marks a flagged day.
settled: Settled. Every day that can settle has settled; the rest say not applicable. How settling works
