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.

Pretty soon it'll be like Twitter (rip) where they charge you to publish content (with their blue check mark fee) and then turn around and sell it (since they've said they're going to turn off all the free APIs for accessing even small amounts of data).

It's a good thing the Reddit admins are absolutely terrible at implementing or enforcing anything. They can forbid as much as they like in their API, but given that even basic comment stealing bots rely still entirely on user reports and subreddit moderator actions to be dealt with, I seriously doubt they'll be able to hold anyone accountable for ignoring whatever terms they demand.
