Method

How to read the board

Verdict: One of three: hate it, shrug, celebrate it. There is no half vote and no scale.
Split: The share of all recorded votes on a subject that went to each verdict.
Net: Celebrate share minus hate share, in points. Positive is celebrated, negative is hated.
Low sample: Fewer than 10 votes. The split is still shown; the rank is not trusted.

Straight from the source

The counters and the board are served as JSON by this site, so the numbers on this page can be checked against the endpoints that produced them: /api/stats and /api/results.

Not built yet

There is no permalink page per subject, no embeddable badge, no weekly movers report and no versioned changelog of the method. Votes are deduplicated only by a rate limit per address, so the totals are best read as a running tally rather than a poll.

Standing note

Opinions, not facts. Every subject on this board is a thing — a food, a garment, a habit — never a private individual. If something here is wrong, tell us and it gets fixed or pulled.
