Reddit is one of the last remaining places on the Internet where you can find real product reviews. I created Reddit Bests to aggregate all these reviews in one place.
Hi Product Hunters!
It's getting increasingly difficult to find legit product reviews online, especially with all the SEO/affiliate blogs taking over Google search results. I found myself relying on Reddit as research tool when looking to compare different products.
Reddit Bests does two things:
1. Aggregate reddit comments for >1 million products. Comments are sorted by their upvote score on Reddit
2. Rank top products within different categories based on number of mentions and on how positive the reviews are (I used sentiment analysis to determine is a comment is positive or negative).
Let me know what you think and if you have any feature suggestions. I'm still working on improving the website (planning to add search functionality as well as a list of popular categories).

Congrats on the launch! Saw this on Reddit a few days ago. How often is the database updated? I’m guessing the Reddit scraping part is quite intensive.
Wow, never thought about Reddit being a source of user reviews. Totally makes sense now that I think about it. How can I search for a specific product category?
@robertb right now you can't, but I will be sure to add that feature soon

Great idea! Any chance you could say if it's positively or negatively being reviewed? I remember not too long ago people were blowing up over an EA game and I could see that being a trending topic haha
@jackramento_ good point! Right now I'm displaying the raw sentiment score, but that's a pretty opaque metric. I should definitely translate it into a more human friendly metric 😅

This will save a lot of time for product research hehe. But I wish there was an option where you can filter product categories.
Hi Andrei, How do you interpret sentiment score? And why is it in millions compared to mention count on homepage. Is that an error? We have sentiment score, 97,944,787 while mentions in 12 mon only 168? Thanks

This is the kind of hacky idea I love!
Would be great to group the products by category. Also, it would be interesting to implement stats and data visualization.
Imagine tracking the fast-growing trends based on Reddit mentions :)
