PRAW kinda sucks for iterating through comments. Which is important because comments often contain a lot more information than the post itself and are much more valuable from an analysis standpoint.

In my case, to actually get the data we needed, we had to use a combination of PRAW, PushShift, and Reddit API directly. Otherwise we would inevitably come out with wildly varying numbers of comments, especially on larger threads (returning as few as 100 out of 10,000).
