What users say when no one is selling anything. For AI girlfriend I read the threads directly, with the votes and comments attached.

What Reddit is

Reddit is where people complain about a subscription they already pay for. For AI girlfriend platforms that makes it the most useful written source there is: the threads are unsponsored, the votes show whether a view is shared, and the comments usually contain the specific failure the marketing page avoids.

For that category I read the threads directly in a browser rather than through a summary and captured the post score, the comment count and the top comments as they stood that day. The other categories do not carry this reading yet.

Why it can be relied on

  • It is unsponsored and unprompted: people post because something annoyed or impressed them, not because a brand asked.
  • Votes and comment counts are a rough measure of whether others recognise the experience, which is more than a single review can offer.
  • It is a primary source anyone can open and read for themselves.

What is taken from it

Threads about each brand
The discussions Google surfaces for each AI girlfriend brand, read in full with their top comments.
Votes and comments
Kept next to each thread, so a complaint with 400 upvotes reads differently from one with two.
The balance of opinion
Each thread is classified as positive, mixed, neutral or negative after reading, and the AI girlfriend monthly analysis tallies the result.

What it cannot tell me

  • Vote counts are deliberately fuzzed by Reddit, so treat them as a scale rather than an exact figure.
  • Threads about something else with the same name are common, and they are dropped rather than counted.
  • Age-gated posts cannot be read by a logged-out reader, so those are quoted as text with a note.
  • A subreddit run by the brand is not independent, and the record says when a thread is the company's own.

Where it appears on this site

Cited as Reddit, with the month it covers, on every category’s statistics pages where it applies. In the AI girlfriend section, for example:

The source itself

This is the only page on the site that links out to Reddit. Everywhere else, a citation links here instead, so the context travels with the number.
