Inspiration

An open dataset is an answer looking for a question. Will you investigate the splashes in the subreddit's growth and their correlation to worldwide events? Will you try comparing the subreddit's sentiment with discussion of the infamous GME ticker, another rallying point for Redditors wanting to plug out of the 9 to 5 life? Or maybe look at the growth of /r/Antiwork over the development of the worldwide COVID-19 situation? The data is yours - now make something great happen.
