Looks like that’s not a good month for reddit.

    The data sounds interesting. No matter what your API price is, scrapers, hackers are still gonna get Reddit’s data for free.

      80GB is very small compared to the Reddit content scrapes I’ve been seeing passed around by archivists. I expect this would be stuff like internal emails, ad impression statistics, payroll, and so forth.

      One thing that’ll be very interesting in relation to the current situation is if there’s discussion of the API pricing in those emails. Perhaps some information on exactly how much bandwidth and other resources those API calls really required.
