Singapore's Monitoring Power Among the Reddit Community It's over 9000!
Browsing Reddit now and then one would come across the word discussions on how certain parties are just taking a non-action approach to certain agenda or issues. The term 'monitoring' is usually termed for these. Even in the official country's newspaper, the word 'monitoring' can be found more often than not.
I then thought of the idea to illustrate Singapore Reddit communities favorite word: monitoring
I gathered the posts and comments from Singapore and SingaporeRaw and did the analysis. Keywords chosen include the infamous, 'monitoring' and related words like 'monitor lizard', 'watching closely', etc.
Found that mentions of these words can be as low as 1000 and reach up to 12000+ in certain months.
Some months are very quiet and the more recent months(in 2025) leading up to Singapore's election, you can see the uptick of the occurrences of the words.
Looking at some of the text I've recorded, you would see some familiar copy pasta among others.
For fun, I put together a separate bar chart made up of emojis related to 'monitoring'.
Hmm, not quite accurate.
There, much better.
