CR Live #0005: Reddit AI data deals, GEO is a Scam, Creators = IP and more

The first live marketing talk show goes under the hood of the growth machines running frontier tech. No hype, no founder worship, just marketers who have done the work telling you what they actually see.​Every other week, a rotating crew goes live to decode the moves everyone in marketing is quietly talking about, break down a real product in real time, take hard sides on a hot take that matters, and put their own instincts under pressure with no time to hide behind a framework.​This week we open on Reddit turning on itself: its own ads boss admits he's not sure the data moat he sells advertisers is still exclusive, now that the company is licensing community data to OpenAI and Google. Then Olly takes GEO apart and makes the case that "AI visibility" is mostly repackaged SEO with a shinier name. And we get into creators becoming the IP, where a 4chan post turns into a $390M franchise and studios scramble to own culture nobody really can. Plus more.This is Chain Reactions, reborn as the show from marketers to break open all the marketing around you.
