Rank drift
Rank drift is the slow, steady slide of apps lower in a long list as new apps keep arriving above them, which looks like decline but isn't. In the 24 hours to October 13, 2026, 224 rows changed position across ChatGPT's ranked top-100 lists, and 153 of those changes (68%) were at #51 or lower. By cohort rank, no app moved.
