New blog explores how Reddit Ads, organic content, and AI-driven visibility may play a growing role in litigation—and why expert witness testimony can clarify Reddit for judges and juries.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, February 26, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jason McDonald Consulting, a top consultancy focused on expert witness services, is announcing a new blog post focused on Reddit organic content and Reddit Ads in the age of artificial intelligence. The post, titled "Are You Ready to Explain Reddit Ads to Your Jury?", explores how AI-driven content and advertising on Reddit may soon become central issues in litigation.

"AI is emerging and Reddit is having a new moment as an important social media platform and an important source for AI answer content," said Jason McDonald, SEO expert witness and consultant. "If Reddit content is cited in a case, or if Reddit Ads are involved in a dispute, a lawyer may need an expert witness to explain how Reddit ads and organic work. Research and testimony might include how ads are targeted, how organic conversations rank, and how AI may influence what users see not just on Reddit but off of Reddit on platforms like ChatGPT or Google Gemini."Reddit and expert witness services

Reddit is a social media network at https://www.reddit.com/, and is similar to "X," Instagram and Facebook. Users post content. Followers see content. And algorithms determine which content surfaces to the top and which does not. The interplay of organic content, user relationships, algorithms, and advertising is not something a layperson can easily understand. Yet it is not dissimilar to other social platforms. This is one way expert witness services from Jason McDonald may be useful to an attorney in litigation.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND SOCIAL MEDIA

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in digital marketing, legal disputes may emerge among the parties over Reddit. Indeed, Reddit is one of the largest repositories of human-generated conversations online. The company has entered into agreements allowing its content to be used in AI training models. At the same time, Reddit Ads continue to grow in importance. When disputes arise concerning Reddit, courts will increasingly require expert testimony to explain what is human-created, what is AI-assisted, and what is paid promotion. The interaction of AI and content may be problematic. And how Reddit works both as a platform and as a source of content may become an issue.

The new blog post outlines several key issues:

• How Reddit content may surface in AI answer models

• The growing difficulty of distinguishing AI-generated material from human-written posts

• The legal implications of undisclosed or confusing advertising

• Why expert testimony can clarify digital marketing mechanics for a jury

The post is exploratory in nature and provides only general ideas. It is not meant as actual testimony.

Courts have long relied on expert witnesses to explain complex issues in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimization), social media, and Google Ads. Reddit's blend of organic discussion, promoted posts, and algorithmic visibility can be confusing even for experienced users. In litigation, that confusion can be so complex as to require an expert witness on Reddit to disentangle what happened, when, how, and where.
