The Litter Tray

Use case

A run of sharp comments makes the whole channel feel colder than it may be.

Channel sentiment

See whether the room has warmed up or cooled down over the last 30 days.

Sentiment is paused while we ask YouTube for permission to offer it. Nothing already scored is deleted.

The room overall is a chart of the last 30 days, with a point for each day that has scored comments. Quiet days are left blank. If the 30 days before had enough comments, they're drawn as a dotted line to compare against. The word beside the chart sums up the latest seven days, once at least three comments have been scored.

Outcomes

What this gives you

See the room over time

Follow scored comments day by day across the latest 30 days.

Compare the month before

The previous 30 days appear only after at least three comments have scores.

A quiet day is a gap

Days with no scored comments are left as gaps. They aren't counted as neutral.

The path

From the situation to the answer

  1. Let the AI read the comments

    When the AI reads a comment, it can score it from -1 (hostile) through 0 (neutral) to +1 (supportive), for how the viewer stands towards you and your community.

  2. Let the picture build

    Each scored comment counts once. Likes and comment length don't give one person more weight.

  3. Open Sentiment or the dashboard

    The solid line shows the last 30 days. The word at the end comes from the latest seven days.

  4. Read the lines and gaps

    The chart only covers the comments the AI has read. It can't tell you what everyone watching thinks.
