How this was measured: This report summarises 30 public Reddit threads collected across 19 subreddits through the Reddit API. Thread counts, subreddit shares, the weekly trend, and the date range are computed from those threads alone. The sentiment split is measured on the 27 most-discussed threads of them, by reading each thread's replies and weighting them by the upvotes they earned; the labels come from a fixed word list, not from human review. This is a sample of public discussion, not a complete or representative measure of it, and not a customer satisfaction score.
