Reddit just sued Perplexity and a group of major scraping providers including SerpApi, Oxylabs, and AWMProxy.
In the process, they also exposed how SEO Stuff (https://t.co/wKpf0EILTx) has been getting customers traffic and sales from Perplexity and ChatGPT for the last six months.
Now that the secret is out, let’s talk about it.
Everyone should be exploiting these loopholes.

Alright, let’s get into it.
Reddit’s lawsuit claims that Perplexity and its partners have been scraping Google’s search results to capture Reddit content indirectly, bypassing robots.txt restrictions.
Here is the most revealing part of the complaint.
Reddit created a test post that only Google could crawl.
Within hours, Perplexity showed the content of that post.
According to Reddit, the only way Perplexity could have retrieved that content was by scraping Google’s SERPs or by getting the data from a partner that scraped it.
This tells us something important.
Perplexity and similar AI search engines are not crawling the full internet on their own.
They are relying heavily on:
Google’s top results
Authority domains
Recency signals
Structured content
When you break it down, here is what appears to be happening under the hood.
Perplexity monitors and scrapes Google’s top results
Perplexity uses top Google URLs as a discovery feed.
This is why visibility in Google translates directly into visibility in AI search.
Retrieved content is chunked into embeddings
Perplexity and ChatGPT compute vector similarity between your page and the user’s query.
Clean structure, clear subheadings, short answer blocks, and semantic clarity win.
Authority domains receive a ranking boost
DR50 plus backlinks still matter because AI engines use authority signals the same way Google does.
A strict recency filter is applied
Perplexity uses a time decay system.
New content and recently updated content are weighted more heavily.
This recency factor is explicitly referenced in the lawsuit.
Everything we just learned lines up perfectly with the system SEO Stuff (https://t.co/wKpf0EILTx) has been building around long before this lawsuit surfaced.

Premium Backlink Bundle
https://t.co/Z9m9D7TjES
You get three DR50 plus contextual backlinks from domains that are already being cited by AI answer engines.
This reinforces authority and entity alignment so your site is more likely to be selected by ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Here is the bottom line.
Perplexity and ChatGPT are not indexing the entire internet.
They are indexing Google’s version of the internet.
Your visibility is determined by:
Authority
Structure
Semantic relevance
Freshness
This is why SEO Stuff (https://t.co/wKpf0EILTx) customers who:
Publish structured, factual content
Update their content regularly
Build DR50 plus backlinks
Keep tight semantic alignment with their category
Are the ones earning citations, visibility, and direct conversions from AI search.
If you want to show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini, you have to build for Google and for AI ingestion at the same time.
Not Google alone.
That has been the SEO Stuff playbook from day one, and the Reddit lawsuit just confirmed it publicly.
