How to read it

Detect → interpret → validate → translate. App reviews, public complaints, news, search, creator titles, public comments, and aggregate-only Reddit signals surface hypotheses and timing. Full reads and representative evidence do the work of explaining mechanisms and establishing breadth. The public data spine contains counts only—no quotes, usernames, or private source material.
