How this was measured: This report summarises 30 public Reddit threads collected across 7 subreddits through the Reddit API. Thread counts, subreddit shares, the weekly trend, and the date range are computed from those threads alone. Replies have not been collected for this brand yet, so the sentiment split is derived from thread titles and the question each thread asks, which leaves most threads unlabelled; 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.
