Top Cannabis Reviewers October 2024

Thank you for joining our roundup of the top authors who posted cannabis reviews on six popular subreddits in October 2024. Our data is sourced by scraping these subreddits and analyzing sentiment with AI, factoring in upvotes, downvotes, and comments to calculate a trend score. Each author’s total impact is measured by summing these trend scores over the month.

In this post, we analyze authors across several dimensions, including trend score, number of posts, and average upvote ratio. We highlight the top 10 authors in each category above the full dataset, which includes all 248 authors who posted reviews this month (+2, or +0.8% from last month).
