Why?

Without vox-pop

> How do I debloat my face?

Lymphatic drainage, reduce sodium,
cold compress, drink water,
sleep elevated...

(correct but soulless — same answer
 as every health blog since 2015)

With vox-pop

★ Searched: Reddit, 4chan /fit/, SE Fitness

Consensus (70%+ of threads):
 → Reduce sodium + 3L water/day
 → Sleep elevated on back

Controversial:
 → Gua sha: loved on Reddit,
   mocked on /fit/ as placebo

What actually worked:
 → "Cut dairy for 2 weeks — face
    visibly deflated" (847↑ r/SCA)
 → "Minox bloat is real, went away
    month 3" (/fit/, recurring)

⚠ Some suggestions are unvetted.

Install

pip install vox-pop

That's it. All 9 platforms work with zero API keys. Optional LLM key unlocks smarter routing (see How Routing Works).

The shift tells a story: 2017 was a flame war. 2026 is domain-specific pragmatism.

Standard search — flat results from all platforms:

vox-pop search "should I learn Rust or Go" --limit 3
