Exact published metrics for r/popculturechat. Rising and Falling compare the current seven-day window 2026-07-22 → 2026-07-28 with the previous seven days 2026-07-15 → 2026-07-21 ( complete UTC days; 36,136 current vs 33,105 comparison analyzed records). Signals appear only with at least 5 distinct posts or comments behind them — the current window for Rising, the comparison window for Falling; the CSV export still contains the complete published metric set. Most discussed uses the current analysis lookback (2026-06-29 → 2026-07-29) — frequency, never trending.

“New” means absent from the comparison window — not new to the world or to Reddit. All signals are automatically extracted and may be wrong; they are directional product signals, not causal claims.
