Exact published metrics for r/popculturechat. Rising and Falling compare the current seven-day window 2026-10-01 → 2026-10-07 with the previous seven days 2026-09-24 → 2026-09-30 ( complete UTC days; 37,038 current vs 35,788 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 (2026-09-07 → 2026-10-07) — frequency, never trending.
