r/worldnews	4.0%	Low ❌

High-question subreddits: r/NoStupidQuestions, r/technicallythetruth — these are conversation/advice subs where questions invite dialogue. Content/news subs have <5% questions in top comments.

Pattern 3: Tone Dominates by Subreddit Category

Category	Dominant Tone	Secondary Tone	Avg Words
Conversation	punchy_one_liner	personal_story	53.0
Advice	personal_story	direct_advice	48.1
Content/Visual	punchy_one_liner	direct_advice	28.5
Entertainment	punchy_one_liner	direct_advice	34.0
News	punchy_one_liner	direct_advice	31.4
Humor/Observation	punchy_one_liner	personal_story	25.7

Pattern 4: Punchy One-Liners Dominate Content/Visual Subs

In r/mildlyinteresting, r/interestingasfuck, r/interesting, r/SipsTea, r/worldnews, r/news — rank-1 comments average 8 words. These are single witty observations. The Qwen prompt should generate ONE sentence for these subs.

Pattern 5: Personal Stories Work in Conversation/Advice Subs

r/AmItheAsshole (56 avg words, personal_story dominant), r/NewToReddit (65 avg, personal_story), r/TheTopicOfTheDay (69 avg, personal_story), r/CasualConversation (44 avg), r/movies (57 avg). These subs reward 2-4 sentence personal anecdotes with a clear point.

7. Summary: The Universal Winning Formula

Across ALL 22 subreddits and 1400 comments analyzed:

1. SHORT — Top comments are shorter than average in 20/22 subreddits. 15-40 words is the sweet spot.
2. DIRECT — Answer/respond in the first sentence. No preamble.
3. PERSONAL — Include a brief personal anecdote in conversation/advice subs (r/AmItheAsshole, r/CasualConversation, r/NewToReddit).
4. WITTY — In content subs (TIL, mildlyinteresting, interestingasfuck), make a clever cultural connection in one sentence.
5. ACTIONABLE — In advice subs, give a specific, practical action to take.
6. MATCHED — Match the subreddit’s emotional register (serious in Advice, playful in TIL, factual in news).
7. NO AI-SIGS — Never use AI signature phrases (‘Great question’, ‘I hope this helps’).
8. QUESTIONS OPTIONAL — Questions at end work in conversation/advice subs but hurt in content/news subs.

The Qwen Prompt Should:

1. Default to 15-40 word comments
2. Lead with the answer/opinion in the first sentence
3. Include a per-subreddit style guide (length, tone, structure)
4. Blacklist AI signature phrases
5. Add questions at the end ONLY for conversation subreddits
6. Use personal anecdotes for r/CasualConversation, r/AskReddit, r/AmItheAsshole, r/NewToReddit
7. Use pop culture references for r/todayilearned
8. Give direct actionable advice for r/Advice (under 30 words)
9. Match emotional register per subreddit category
10. For content/visual subs (mildlyinteresting, interestingasfuck, interesting, SipsTea, whatisit) generate ONE witty sentence under 15 words
11. For news subs (news, worldnews) generate factual 10-30 word observations
12. Never exceed 100 words unless the subreddit specifically rewards long stories (AskReddit)

8. Methodology & Limitations

Aspect	Detail
Data Source	Reddit RSS feeds (reddit.com/r/{sub}/top/.rss?limit=5&t=week)
Comment Source	Reddit RSS comments feed (reddit.com/r/{sub}/comments/{id}/.rss?limit=25)
Comment Ranking	RSS ‘best’ sort (rank 1 = top comment, proxy for highest score)
Score Data	NOT available — Reddit JSON API 403-blocked, Composio OAuth expired
Total subreddits	22
Total posts	108
Total comments	1400
Analysis date	July 25, 2026

Key limitation: Without explicit scores, we use RSS comment ordering (Reddit’s ‘best’ sort) as a proxy. This is reliable for top 3-5 comments but less so for lower ranks. Tone and length analysis remains valid as it reflects what Reddit’s algorithm surfaces as ‘best’ comments.
