Every polar trend on this platform follows this strict validation criteria.
While we do scrape the entire web, the inital signals come to us via reddit.
Our bots are scraping (almost) every corner of the platform 24/7.
When a certain subject is talked about in comments or posts more often than normal, we consider it to be a possible polar trend.
The topic must have been mentioned at least 250% more frequently in a 5 day window, in order for it to be picked up by our scraping software.
About 90% of the topics we pick up using this creiteria, end up being total junk. That's why we have step 2
Topics that meet this criteria, are then manually verified by real humans. We check social media and relevant companies to find genuine adoption and useage of the polar trend.
It's not just a surface-level check.
We look into:
- similar existing topics that are trneding
- Why this would become trending
- What benefit does the topic provide / what problem does it solve?
