About MoodMetrics

What We Do

MoodMetrics aggregates trending news stories from Reddit and provides in-depth analysis of public sentiment. We track how communities react to breaking news, identify controversial topics, and surface the key entities and themes driving discussions.

Our Analysis

Each story is analyzed to extract:

• Sentiment Score — Whether the overall public reaction is positive, negative, or neutral
• Controversy Rating — How divisive or contentious a topic is among commenters
• Key Topics — The main themes and categories the story falls under
• Named Entities — Important people, organizations, and places mentioned
• Public Sentiment Summary — A concise overview of the community's reaction

Data Sources

We monitor popular news subreddits including r/news, r/worldnews, and r/politics to capture a wide range of perspectives on current events. Our analysis is updated regularly to reflect the latest discussions.

Why It Matters

Understanding public sentiment helps contextualize news beyond just the headlines. By analyzing how communities respond to stories, we can identify trending narratives, detect early signs of controversy, and provide a richer picture of how news resonates with people.
