About this Dataset

Reddit Usernames

Content

This dataset contains the username of any reddit account that has left at least one comment, and their number of comments.

This data was grabbed in December 2017 from the Reddit comments dataset hosted on Google BigQuery. It should be current up to November 2017.

Quick stats

26 million users
8 million have left only a single comment
13 million (50%) have left no more than 5 comments
42,000 usernames demand something via PM (e.g. PM_ME_PIX_OF_UR_CAT, PM_me_your_successes, PMmeyourRGB, and lots of less wholesome ones)
