I have been dealing with some health issues but hopefully my eye surgery will be coming up soon. I developed PSCs (posterior subcapular cataracts) from late onset Diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>I have been working lately to bring more amazing APIs and tools to the research community including making available a large amount of datasets containing YouTube data and many other social media datasets.<\/p>\n<p>Currently I have collected around 15 billion Youtube comments and billions of YouTube channel metadata and video metadata.<\/p>\n<p>My goal, once my surgery is completed and my eyes heal is to get back into the community and invite others who love data to work with all this data.<\/p>\n<p>I greatly appreciate everyone who donates or spreads the word about my gofundme.<\/p>\n<p>I will be providing updates over time, but if you want to reach out to me, please use the email in my Reddit profile (the gmail one).<\/p>\n<p>I want to thank all of the datasets moderators for assisting me during this challenging period in my life.<\/p>\n<p>I am very excited to get back into the saddle and pursuing my biggest passion &#8211; data science and datasets.<\/p>\n<p>I no longer control the Pushshift domain bit I will be sharing a new name soon and letting everyone know what&#8217;s been happening over the past 2 years.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again and I will try to respond to as many emails as possible.<\/p>\n<p>You can find the link to my gofundme in my Reddit profile or my post in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/pushshift\">\/r\/pushshift<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to ask questions in this post and I will try to answer as soon as possible. Also, if you have any questions about specific social media data that you are interested in, I would be happy to clarify what data I currently have and what is on the roadmap in the future. It would be very helpful to see what data sources people are interested in! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Stuck_In_the_Matrix\"> \/u\/Stuck_In_the_Matrix <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1ooacew\/to_everyone_in_the_datasets_community_i_would\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/datasets\/comments\/1ooacew\/to_everyone_in_the_datasets_community_i_would\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/p><div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-36352 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='36352' data-nonce='65e0e39b87' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-36352 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-36352 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Jason Baumgartner and I am the founder of Pushshift.
