Generally, yes. Engagement ratio is hard to fake. A product can generate artificial interest, but sustained discussion threads require people who actually used the product and had something to say about it.
Automatically. We compare products that share at least one category and have similar interest scores. Products too far apart in traction don't make for useful comparisons.
No. Interest is launch-day attention. Engagement ratio is a better quality signal. The product with more discussions per interest point usually has stronger product-market fit.
