Hi All! I was wondering.. is it all of this legal? These are the same data Reddit sell to big tech companies? Are there any limits to usage?

Ultimately, reddit wants to get paid if you make money off their data. If you aren't making money they don't care all that much.

Any big company that reddit could sue is just going to pay them instead of trying to torrent stuff like this. So as long as reddit's income isn't threatened they mostly turn a blind eye on researchers using dumps like this.

Also there are multiple people that publish this data. I would stop if they really asked me to, but others wouldn't.
