Did reddit staff demand pushshift to shut down? by MCHerobrine in pushshift

[–]shiruken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify, that website only reflects the http status of the Pushshift endpoints, it doesn't have the ability to verify the content of the response. So as long as Pushshift is returning valid http status codes, it will not show the service as down.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope was used to image the warm dust around a nearby young star, Fomalhaut, in order to study the first asteroid belt ever seen outside of our solar system. The telescope revealed a much more complex structure including two previously unresolvable inner belts. by shiruken in science

That tracker website only reflects the http status, it doesn't have the ability to verify the content of the response.

Data prior to 2023-05-01 is still available. At least for now.

Not gonna lie, it's incredibly confusing having messaging from both you and NCRI

I guess we'll find out whether the API blacklisting was due to the lack of response or if that was just an excuse and they were going to block Data API access regardless.

None of these "improvements" address the reasons

They also don't even exist yet! They're all just things they're still "considering."

Pushshift announced new management two months ago. In response to questions, u/Stuck_In_The_Matrix maintained that the service would remain free for researchers:

Pushshift will continue to provide free access to researchers.

Further responses detailed plans to monetize the platform:

Your question about API tokens and pricing tiers deserves a more formal reply involving more of our leadership team but I can say this -- Pushshift will continue to provide the research community with free access to our most popular API endpoints like Reddit while eventually charging for-profit and other organizations that require enhanced access and/or higher rate limits to Pushshift API endpoints.

Most academic institutions will keep the same level of access they have today.

I think we all know that most academic institutions are not contacting Reddit to establish formal research projects with you, they're directly accessing the bulk data via Pushshift since the Reddit API lacks historical data. There's a reason the Pushshift dataset paper has been cited almost 200 times since 2020.

Reddit Data API Update: Changes to Pushshift Access [Pushshift is in violation of the Reddit Data API terms and has been unresponsive despite multiple outreach attempts. Reddit is suspending Pushshift's access to the Data API starting today] by shiruken in pushshift

As discussed in the sticky post, this subreddit is run by the community. We have no affiliation with Pushshift nor a reliable method of contacting the owner.

Third-party apps will eventually require the new usage-based Premium API (see thread from Apollo developer). Free third-party apps are likely going to be a thing of the past.

Nothing that out of the ordinary. New management was actually announced a couple months ago but they have likewise been MIA in the subreddit.

From what I understand it's mostly personal issues. But getting relentlessly harassed and attacked by users for archiving their public comments is incredibly demoralizing.

Unfortunately it's par for the course. The platform has suffered from a lack of communication for years and things don't seem any better even after new management was announced a couple months ago.

No, the lack of communication from the Pushshift operator has been a longstanding problem for both our subreddit and everyone using the platform.

Providing permalinks to user- and admin-deleted content in User Mod Log for any given user in your community. Please note that we cannot show you the user-deleted content for lawyercat reasons.

As has been previously discussed, this is still insufficient. Continued access to the user-deleted content is incredibly important because otherwise users can just delete offending content to try to hide their tracks. Yes, we can add notes (natively or via toolbox) but that requires additional effort for moderators.

Isn't Bad Takes ending with the shuttering of Grid News?

Study finds ChatGPT outperforms physicians in providing high-quality, empathetic responses to written patient questions in r/AskDocs. A panel of licensed healthcare professionals preferred the ChatGPT response 79% of the time, rating them both higher in quality and empathy than physician responses. by shiruken in science

[–]shiruken[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Yes. ChatGPT received "good" or "very good" scores from the evaluators on 78.5% of responses compared to only 22.1% of physician-written responses.
