Static snapshot, not a live feed

Illustrative data: This illustrative report summarises 27 public Reddit threads collected across 15 subreddits through the Reddit search API. Thread counts, subreddit shares, the weekly trend, and the date range are computed from those threads alone. Sentiment labels are derived from title keywords, not human review. This is a sample of public discussion, not a complete or representative measure of it, and not a customer satisfaction score.

Methodology & limitations

An illustrative report, not an audited Reddit dataset

The model is intentionally rich enough to test information architecture and search demand before paying for full collection.
Fixed window
Sep 27, 2016 through Jul 22, 2026.
Manual coding

Independent QA
No audit is claimed. Replace the model with sampled data when a page proves traffic or conversion potential.
Known limits
Public, English-language, SFW threads only. Deleted, private, and inaccessible discussions are excluded.
