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]

Truth is, we need to **replace** pushshift with an opensource project, an unresponsive owner is death to any project.

There are numerous people in this sub who have the chops to build a replacement, even if it has to charge a nominal subscription to be able to afford Reddits paid api access.

I'm pretty sure the new terms for API usage forbid anything similar to pushshift. Reddit wants money for their data and they want to dictate how it is used.

Unfortunately the barriers to entry here are the cost of storage and bandwidth, and Reddit's new API terms, not any sort of technical challenge; an ingester is *fairly* trivial.
