Toxicity & Constructiveness Over Time

Monthly average toxicity vs constructive scores — track how discourse quality shifts around key events.

Discourse Quality Score by Video (Top 10)

Composite score = avg constructive - avg toxicity, computed from comment-level Perspective API scores. Green bars = net constructive discourse; red bars = net toxic discourse.

Discourse Quality Score by Channel (Top 10)

Same composite score aggregated by channel — based on comment toxicity/constructiveness scores, not the channel's own content. Which channels' comment sections foster constructive vs toxic discussion?
