Why use Sensus instead of Reddit to find out what people really think?
Reddit gives you unverified comments ranked by upvotes. Sensus gives you counted answers from verified members of a specific school or profession, anonymous when they choose, with the split as a number, the week's move, and highlights and rankings computed from votes. When you need the read of a particular crowd rather than the internet at large, that is the difference.
| Sensus | ||
|---|---|---|
| Who answers | Anyone | Verified members of the space |
| What an answer is | A comment, upvoted | A counted selection, with its share |
| Weekly layer | Hot and top sorting | Highlights, rankings, readings, measured |
| Place and campus | City subreddits | Spaces per school, a place map, Nearby by building |
Side by side
When Reddit is still the right tool
Long written discussion, niche hobbies, anything where the crowd you want is not on Sensus yet. Sensus is strongest for the schools and engineering rooms it has today.
