Sentiment Bar
What the colored bar in front of articles means
Dark Techmeme adds a small color bar before each headline as a quick sentiment cue. The signal is generated from headline keywords directly in the extension so you can scan the feed faster.
Strong Negative
Major downside language such as breaches, scams, or major losses.
Negative
Cautionary language such as declines, cuts, probes, or risk events.
Neutral
Informational or mixed headlines without clear positive or negative bias.
Positive
Constructive language such as launches, improvements, growth, and wins.
Strong Positive
Very strong upside language such as major breakthroughs, surges, or records.
The sentiment bar is a lightweight reading aid based on text patterns, not a factual classifier or investment advice.
