# What Reddit Thinks > Independent publication that synthesizes real community discussion from Reddit and other forums into clear consensus answers to the questions people actually ask. Every page links back to the original threads. We paraphrase sentiment, cite real threads, and never fabricate quotes, usernames, or upvote counts. What Reddit Thinks is published from https://whatredditthinks.com and was founded in 2021. The tagline is "We read the threads so you don't have to." Each page answers a single question — "is X worth it?", "what's the best Y?" — with a one-or-two-sentence consensus verdict, a community-sentiment label, the subreddits it draws on, and a list of cited threads (quoted or paraphrased, each linked to the original). ## What we cover - Tech & Gadgets — phones, wearables, and consumer hardware - Software & Apps — productivity, notes, and consumer software - Health & Fitness — wearables, training, and health tools - Food & Nutrition — calorie counters and nutrition trackers - Personal Finance — budgeting, banking, and money apps - Gaming — games, hardware, and services - Travel — gear, services, and destinations - Home & Living — appliances and home products - AI Tools — consumer AI assistants and tools ## Editorial principles We read the relevant threads in full, weigh upvoted consensus against vocal minorities, and write a verdict only when the discussion supports one. When a community is split, we publish "divided" or "mixed" as honest verdicts. We link every thread we draw on so readers can verify our read. Where we quote, we quote a real comment and link it; where we summarize the recurring view, we paraphrase and label it. Our firm rule: we never invent usernames, fabricate quotes, or make up upvote counts. We are an independent publication and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Reddit, Inc. Subreddit names are referenced descriptively. Where a page links to a product, any affiliate link never determines the verdict; the consensus is written from the threads first, and many pages earn nothing. ## Key resources - About: https://whatredditthinks.com/about/ - Ethics & Disclosure: https://whatredditthinks.com/about/ethics/ - Methodology (how we read the threads): https://whatredditthinks.com/methodology/ - Our team: https://whatredditthinks.com/people/ - All questions: https://whatredditthinks.com/topics/ - RSS: https://whatredditthinks.com/feed.xml - Sitemap: https://whatredditthinks.com/sitemap-index.xml - Contact: editorial@whatredditthinks.com ## Editorial team - Lena Marchetti — Managing Editor & Community-Research Lead, consensus synthesis & sourcing standards - Desmond Okafor — Senior Writer, tech, gadgets, software & AI tools - Priya Reyes — Staff Writer, health, fitness, food, finance & lifestyle ## All questions (41 pages, grouped by topic) ### AI Tools — https://whatredditthinks.com/category/ai-tools/ - What's the best AI coding assistant?
