Reddit Pro Tools

Reddit User Analyzer and More

What is Reddit Pro Tools?

Reddit Pro Tools is a Chrome extension that analyzes user comments and karma on Reddit to identify trolls and propaganda. It tags offending users based on their comment karma and identifies users with new, low karma accounts. The extension also allows you to customize the deplorable subreddits and propaganda domains to be flagged. Other features include links to SnoopSnoo pages for user research and Ceddit versions of pages to view deleted comments. The extension does not track or collect user data and only communicates with the Reddit API. It uses approximately 1 gig of data in a heavy day of Redditing and stores data locally, with a limit of 16 gigs in Chrome's database.

User reviews

I've noticed in the recent past that sites which were labeled centrist have been reclassified "extreme left". Learned that the app sources their bias ratings come from "Media Bias Fact Check": These days, MBFC is generally used as a source when someone wants to add a veneer of respectability to the extremely tired claim that almost all trustworthy news outlets are liberal in nature. MBFC does not shield users from opinion journalism, it is opinion. Specifically, it is the opinion of a guy named Gus. - The Columbia Journalism Review describes Media Bias/Fact Check as an amateur attempt at categorizing media bias and Van Zandt as an "armchair media analyst". The Poynter Institute notes, "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific." -(Wikipedia) If I do not already have information about a news outlet, having instant access to some random ideological placement that falsely calls it into question makes me less knowledgeable. If you point this out, they'll remind you that users can change their own ratings. But if I already have information about an outlet, repositioning it on a list for me alone to see is a meaningless placebo. MBFC actually does seem reliable in their factual/non factual ratings. Reddit Pro Tools could source those instead, but...I have a feeling they're getting exactly what they want out of it.

I don't really care about the political side, but it's nice setting custom tags for people who post in music subs I like so I can see other fans of GYBE in the wild and so on. I just wish adding subreddits wasn't case-sensitive.

Very useful. So many idiots on reddit need to filter them out.
