    How the counting works

    Each person counts once

    No matter how many times they posted. Accounts that look planted or promotional are weighted down.

    The bad news gets equal billing

    Every shoe shows its didn’t-help count at the same size as its helped count. A shoe that works for 76% of people fails 24% — you should see both.

    Every number has receipts

    Tap any count and read the actual comments, each linking to the original post. Nothing is summarized away.
