View submission: Reddit Data API Update: Changes to Pushshift Access [Pushshift is in violation of the Reddit Data API terms and has been unresponsive despite multiple outreach attempts. Reddit is suspending Pushshift's access to the Data API starting today]

No. Reddit wants you to pay for it's data. Having something like pushshift out there means they can't make money off their data.

Yeah, it was a mostly rhetorical question. Reddit's tools for mods still suck, too, and they haven't bothered fixing it before killing all the tools that really helped mods out.

Expect even fairly moderated subs to reject most/all appeals when they can no longer review the content a user was banned for.

E: also reddit's search sucks as well. 99% of what I used pushshift for was finding my own past content or other things on reddit I had seen before. Reddit doesn't have a functional search to take its place.

It's not their data

You retain any ownership rights you have in Your Content, but you grant Reddit the following license to use that Content:

It's their bandwidth and *accessibility* for that (your) data though.
