Vovozometer

Vovó de 90 anos humilha dermatologistas com creme anti-rugas e quase é presa em Recife!

Measures clickbait statistics on a given URL.

Clickbait report chart

Usage

ruby exec.rb runs a Reporter on the predefined URL set (see exec.rb for the complete list).

The Reporter outputs a CSV file in /lib/output/ containing the following:

  • url: url scraped
  • hits: number of reloads (important because clickbaits are random)
  • score_granny: number of granny-related clickbaits found
  • score_regular: number of common clickbaits found
  • ttfg: time to first granny: number of reloads until a granny-related clickbait appears

Clickbait classification

A simple match (String#include?) is done against a list of terms defined in input/terms.yml.

Plotting

Done with gnuplot. Check plot_with_gnuplot.

Why?

There are way too many granny-related clickbaits out there. Someone needs to take action!!!1111
