See what Reddit hides. Instant ghost detection for every post and comment you make.
Reddit silently removes posts and comments without telling you. You can still see your own content, but nobody else can — it's a ghost. This extension reads Reddit's own internal signals and shows you the truth in seconds.
- You post or comment on Reddit
- Extension checks automatically (30 seconds after posting)
- A badge appears: LIVE or GHOST — plus WHY it was removed
LIVE My SaaS hit $9k MRR last month...
GHOST Got my posts removed 3 times with no...
spam_filter — Reddit's spam filter removed this post
LIVE Great point about the API approach...
GHOST I've been using an open-source project...
spam_filter — Reddit's spam filter removed this comment
The extension reads Reddit's removed_by_category field from the public .json endpoint — the same signal Reddit uses internally. One fetch per item, no third-party APIs, no Pushshift.
