Dataset: Reddit /r/WallStreetBets Data For August 2021

About this Dataset

Reddit /r/WallStreetBets Data For August 2021

Context

Reddit's WallStreetBets community has become famous on the internet earlier this year, with their coordinated GameStop ($GME) squeeze. That was a sign that social media can influence market data in ways before unseen. To help data scientists investigate this, we have compiled a comprehensive dataset of posts and comments on /r/WallStreetBets for the month of August 2021.

Content

The following dataset is a comprehensive list of all the posts and comments made on Reddit's WallStreetBets board from August 1 to August 31 of 2021. The data includes sentiment, post and comment content and timestamps. The dataset was procured using SocialGrep.

To preserve traders' anonymity and to prevent targeted harassment, the data does not include usernames.

Acknowledgements

This dataset is dedicated to "Koe", an instrumental force in Reddit data compilation and public opinion research. He is no longer with us - may he be in a better place.

Inspiration

Can we predict stock trends based on Reddit data?
How does public perception of a stock shift with the news?
Are there any other insights that we can get from the board that caused the Short Squeeze of 2021?
