Drumroll please …. Without further ado your 1st Boolean Scenario:
With the holidays right around the corner the public relations team at Rockefeller Center in New York City is preparing to monitor social media posts from people traveling to New York City to view the upcoming 🎄Tree Lighting 🎄. The team wants to remove any negative and/or angry 😡 mentions as the posts will be shared in real time on a ticker at the tree lighting. The team would also like to exclude their own Instagram (@rockefellercenter) and Twitter (@rockcenternyc) posts.

--- Given this is likely still going to be a high volume of content for the ticker, you could also provide an option for the client to increase the quality of content showing by adding additional filters such as:
attachmentType:image
attachmentType:video

I want it as simple/neat as possible so I used the Channel and Sentiment Operators. Too many paragraphs confuse me
((rockefeller OR rockefellercenter OR rockcenternyc OR rockefellercenternyc) NEAR/20 (treelighting OR tree OR xmastree OR christmastree)) NOT (“@rockefellercenter” OR “@rockcenternyc” OR sentiment:”negative”)
((“tree lighting” OR “treelighting” OR “christmas tree” OR “christmastree” OR emojis:) AND (“NYC” OR “New York City” OR “Rockefeller” OR “Rockefeller Center”)) NOT (sentiment:negative OR (from:rockefellercenter AND socialtype:twitter) OR (from:rockcenternyc AND socialtype:instagram))

Never used the infoType: operator before (normally I rely on the filters and check those), so learned a new trick
(Rockefeller NEAR/5 (Center or Square) and (“Tree lighting” or “New York” or Manhattan or lights or lighting or “Christmas Tree” or “lights” or “the Rink” or Midtown or holiday) NOT (from: @rockefellercenter and @rockcenternyc) and (sentiment: Negative)
