YouTube comment classification sorts every comment into meaningful categories. PJQ uses 7 stances: Support (agreement with the thesis), Against (disagreement), Neutral (balanced or cautious), Thin Positive (fan noise without substance), Off-topic (unrelated), Suspicious (bots, spam, manipulation), and Agenda (self-promotion, crypto spam). Only Support, Against, and Neutral affect the Mood-Net score. This framework gives creators and researchers a clear picture of what audiences actually think.
