What does this page actually want from you?
Noise Guard Lens sorts already-detected signals into four everyday questions: attention, money, data, social. The same analysis, just in language you understand immediately.
What Noise Guard Lens actually shows
๐ Attention
Infinite scroll, autoplay, recommendation feeds.
๐ฐ Money
Artificial scarcity, countdown pressure, aggressive sales phrasing.
๐ก Data
Cookie banners, known tracking domains.
๐ฃ๏ธ Social
Comments, like and view counts.
๐ค AI
Self-declared AI disclosures, if AI detection is enabled.
The categorization uses only signals Noise Guard already detected, no additional page scan takes place.
Where each category gets its signals from
Lens doesn't invent anything new, it only re-sorts. "Attention" reads what the Attention Engine already knows about autoplay, shorts, recommendation feeds, and infinite scroll. "Money" filters the money-related patterns out of the already-detected manipulation patterns (scarcity, countdown, purchase pressure), everything else stays aside. "Data" summarizes cookie banners and the count of blocked tracking domains. "Social" counts comments and greyed-out social numbers. "AI" only appears if AI disclosure detection is active, otherwise the category stays empty instead of faking a false zero.
Each category only shows how often a signal type actually occurred, as a simple count, no weighted score and no ranking between categories.
Why "detected signal" and not "this site is manipulating you"
A detected linguistic pattern is a hint, not proof of intent. Noise Guard knows neither the motivation of a website nor the people behind it. What Noise Guard can say for certain is: this specific pattern is present. What Noise Guard deliberately doesn't claim is an assessment of why it's there.
This restraint is intentional: a tool that constantly assumes unproven intentions would itself become a source of distortion.
