Didn't a lot of sentiment analysis/NLP companies already tried to make Wallstreetbets sentiments since forever, and couldn't actually make useful data because of the noise (intentional). The only way today is different is that because these days they are united under singular stock, so its pretty easy. But regular wallstreetbets activity, no chance.

That's a really slick website. However it still can't tell the difference between 3 letter words (or 4) that also happen to be symbols. Take for example APPS on the Ticket Sentiment (https://swaggystocks.com/dashboard/wallstreetbets/ticker-sen...). I haven't seen anyone talk about Digital Turbine Inc, but lots of people talking about investing apps. Would be nice if Reddit had some autofill feature that prepended $ to symbols. $APPS vs apps. Perhaps a mod feature they could enable?

If that site is really working as intended then there will be no surprise with all of this?

Color me skeptical.

No, its my own deduction. I've been in that site for more than a year and there are a lot of noise and spam stock on purpose to obfuscate sentiment from NLP stuffs. It has a lot of satire in it.

What do you think?
