Static snapshot, not a live feed

How this was measured: This report summarises 56 public Reddit threads collected across 21 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.

Sample verdict

56 public Reddit threads about BuzzSumo were collected across 21 subreddits, led by r/Entrepreneur. The dominant question type is open shortlist requests (7 of 56), and the highest-scoring thread in the sample is "From $0 to $323,010.43 in 14 months with a simple startup. The exact Facebook ads,…". This report summarises those threads only; it is not a measure of BuzzSumo's overall standing.

Stance mix: 53% positive · 23% neutral · 23% negative across the 30 most-discussed collected threads, labelled by reading each thread's replies against a fixed word list rather than by hand.

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
Apr 23, 2014 through Jul 10, 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.
Disclosure: This report summarises 56 public Reddit threads collected across 21 subreddits through the Reddit API.

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.
