What Is The Methodology Behind The Consumer Unhappiness Score?

Data on Facebook reactions are pulled for the social media account pages using Buzzsumo. This is used to work out the proportion of angry to love reactions.

Data on likes, posts and followers are pulled from brand Twitter pages using Social Blade.

This is then used to calculate the number of likes they would achieve if they had 100,000 followers (so follower number had less no effect on the metric). These two metrics were then normalised within the dataset to be between 0 and 100 and averaged to calculate an unhappiness score.”
