Top Cannabis Reviewers August 2024

Thanks for joining us for a roundup of the top authors who posted cannabis reviews on six popular cannabis subreddits in August 2024. Our data is sourced by scraping these subreddits and analyzing the information with AI to extract sentiment. We measure the attention each post received through upvotes, downvotes, and comments, which all contribute to a trend score. This trend score is then summed by author to show the total impact each author achieved over the month.

In this post, we examine the authors across several dimensions, including trend score, the number of posts, and the average upvote ratio each author achieved. We highlight the top 10 authors for each of these dimensions above the full data table, which contains all 242 authors who posted reviews this month.
