Know if a YouTube claim actually holds up.

Consensus reads what viewers actually said in the comments and tells you whether a video's claimed outcome is real, before you burn twenty minutes finding out yourself.

What it does

Comments in. A verdict out.

01

Reads the room

Pulls up to 200 real viewer comments straight from the video, filtered down to the ones that actually say something.

02

Rates the claim

One model call classifies the video and scores whether its title's claim holds up, weighing how many people actually said so over how loud any single comment was.

03

Flags what matters

Separately checks for corroborated authenticity concerns, and only forces the rating down when several people are independently saying the same thing.

04

Critical flag check

Runs a separate check for corroborated authenticity concerns — staged content, bought engagement, undisclosed promotion — and only lets a well-corroborated flag force the rating down.

05

Cross-check (optional)

One click searches public Reddit discussion to verify the crowd's pick or recommendation against a second, independent source, cited back to the exact thread it came from.

Critical guidance

Not every complaint deserves the same weight.

A single angry comment doesn't tank a rating. Three independent viewers describing the same staged demo does. Consensus tells the two apart and only lets well-corroborated concerns move the score.

+

Teach it what you know. If it still misses something you think matters, leave a note on any result — it becomes a standing rule Consensus checks for on every video after.

CRITICAL

"Same trick as his last video, the reaction was clearly scripted." — corroborated by 6 other comments.
