Static snapshot, not a live feed
How this was measured: This report summarises 71 public Reddit threads collected across 5 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 30 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.
Editorial verdict
The collected signal at a glance
Every number below is computed from this brand's own collected threads. The labels come from a fixed word list rather than a human reading each thread, so read them as a sample of public discussion, not a verdict.

Methodology & limitations
A coded sample, not an audited Reddit dataset
The queries and inclusion rules are frozen before the threads are coded, so the sample cannot be tuned toward a more attractive conclusion.
Fixed window
Aug 14, 2018 through Jul 6, 2026.
Automated coding
Threads are deduplicated, classified by the question they ask, and counted. Sentiment comes from the replies on the most-discussed threads, matched against a fixed word list and weighted by upvotes — not from human review.
Independent QA
No audit is claimed. A second-reviewer pass is added when a page proves traffic or conversion potential.
Known limits
Public, English-language, SFW threads only. Deleted, private, and inaccessible discussions are excluded.
