Sentiment analysis is overall a dangerous way for social media players to punt around 'things we don't like', whatever that may be. You will end up shadowbanned on whatever social media platform you use, because you're not posting cat photos and other prosaic content that people trying to sell insurance policies, sugar water, and watches are okay with.
Thankfully, this is such an ill-posed problem, it will just be an embarrassing boondoggle.
FWIW, my salt score is -0.09 ;)

Same salt score, same opinion on the results. My top salty comment has a score of -1.00
> > > Unfortunately it's not a bottle. It's just a plastic cup with a lid and a straw. A really big plastic cup that tapers at the bottom so you can fit it in your vehicle's cupholder.
> > In USA even the cups have muffin-tops!?
> Yep. Horrific, isn't it?
It's a joke, it's not terribly on topic, and it's a bit glib. But salty? Nah.
Fourth most "salty" comment, at a score of -0.50:
> I like having a library that I can flip to when I'm bored and want to do something productive.
Seventh most salty, at -0.45, is literally just an explanation of the second argument in Javascript's parseInt function. Ninth is just an earnest recap of a conversation about earworms.
Meanwhile the saltiest comment I saw in a quick skim is in 12th place, with a score of -0.30. I was discussing House of Cards and the then recent scandal around Kevin Spacey, and someone was putting words in my mouth and claiming I said things that I didn't actually say or believe. I was quite salty in my response(s), but here the tool marked it as 70% less salty than joking about muffin topped cups.
The Muffin Tops part is making me lol.
I'm sort of proud to note that my salt score is -0.08, with my saltiest comment being:
The iPad and iPhone are especially dangerous when it comes to accidental downvoting. Separating or enlarging the arrows would help those of us with fat fingers.
However, (and this will apparently add to my salt score ;)), I'm curious how a comments like these get rated as expressing a negative sentiment?:
Out of curiosity, how does Metro look to color blind people?
I used to get terribly sleepy in the afternoons; sometimes I'd go out to my car and take a 15 minute nap, even in the brutal Texas summer. Then I started taking vitamin D and went on a paleo diet, and now I almost never get tired in the afternoons. Nada. It's a great relief to not always be fighting to stay awake.
