Is it over for OpenClaw? After seeing a couple negative OpenClaw posts over the last few days, I decided to dig into the data and built a sentiment tracker According to the data, sentiment has been pretty steady the last 3 weeks, so no, it's not over The sentiment tracker link is in the replies and data/methodology below: Data Sources: -X & Reddit (using @MacrocosmosAI) - scraped 10k+ raw social media posts mentioning OpenClaw, de-duped and filtered down to ~1k unique posts -Grok daily analysis using daily aggregated sentiment from a structured LLM prompt that scores individual posts on a scale with engagement weighting, topic tagging, and confidence assessment -Google Trends looking at daily search interest scores (0-100) for "OpenClaw" as an attention/volume signal Sentiment Scoring: 1. VADER - rule-based lexicon analysis applied to each unique scraped post with compound score (-1 to +1) classified as positive (≥0.05), negative (≤-0.05), neutral, or mixed (both pos and neg sub-scores >0.1) 2. Grok - LLM-assessed daily sentiment using a strict rubric that produces an engagement-weighted mean per day on a -2 to +2 scale. More conservative and context-aware than VADER 3. Composite Score - using a daily blended metric normalizing both sources to -1 to +1, then weighting 60% Grok + 40% VADER (Grok gets higher weight due to its more rigorous methodology)
