See what Reddit hides. Instant ghost detection for every post you make.
Reddit silently removes posts without telling you. You can still see your own post, but nobody else can — it's a ghost post. This extension reads Reddit's own internal signals and shows you the truth in seconds.
- You post 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
The extension reads Reddit's removed_by_category field from the public .json endpoint — the same signal Reddit uses internally. One fetch per post, no third-party APIs, no Pushshift.
