Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment Analysis — Per Platform

Reddit Mixed-to-Bearish

Furious over Google killing AI Studio free tier. Bearish on OpenAI (copyright lawsuits, CEO drama). Bullish on local AI -- Qwen3.5 replaces Llama as community base model.

YouTube Pragmatic

AI coding agents dominate (Claude Code 756K views). Counter-narrative gaining traction: "Current AI has 3 unfixable problems" (Hossenfelder, 1.08M views).

Twitter/X Bullish with Friction

GPT-5.4 launch 6.7M views. "Vibe coding" polarizing: beginners celebrate, senior engineers anxious. CEO rivalries (Altman vs Musk) drive more engagement than product launches.

Threads Anxious

Authenticity crisis. Adam Mosseri manifesto on AI reproducibility sparks backlash. Job displacement anxiety dominates.

TikTok Highly Bullish

Pure monetization lens. AI automation agencies, faceless channels, tool stack roundups. Pricing fatigue emerging as counter-signal.

Instagram Bullish & Automated

DM funnel mechanics. Claude Code remote control reel trending. NotebookLM cited as legit productivity tool.

Overall: Mixed -- Short-form video platforms treat AI as limitless productivity; text-based and developer communities growing increasingly skeptical of model capabilities and corporate hype.
