I love my Glove80, totally worth the price.

    Have you tried the Moonlander? Tenting is fantastic.

        Moonlander tenting is solid but the thumb cluster takes a week.

Each reply is indented under the comment it answers, so the back-and-forth survives when you paste it somewhere else.

Summarizing a Reddit thread with ChatGPT or Claude

Copying a thread straight out of the browser grabs vote buttons, “Reply · Share · Award” labels, and collapsed branches — noise that wastes tokens and confuses the model. A clean transcript avoids all of that. Prompts that work well on a converted thread:

• “List the five most common complaints, with a direct quote for each.”
• “Which products are recommended, and what reasons do people give?”
• “Group the comments by the question they’re answering.”
• “What do people who disagree with the top comment say?”

Asking for quotes keeps the summary grounded in what people actually wrote. For a deeper look at turning threads into research, see the Reddit market research guide.
