View submission: Update on Pushshift

What interesting timing.... I think we're just heading into a future in which services like PS simply aren't allowed to exist so It'll be interesting to watch how this plays out.

I've been suggesting for the last 2 years there needs to be tooling to rebuild static, consumable reddit archives from the raw PS data. However with the terms of ingest and the ability for users/subs to opt out without the transparency of who/which had done so PS is no longer a complete archive...

/u/Stuck_In_the_Matrix sorry this is the mess you're dealing with, if I can help with anything at all you know where to find me.

You mean like, reconstitute the pages for browsing? or providing a service that shows reconstituted pages?
