Extracting Reddit Data With R and the package RedditExtractoR (2023 Update)

This walkthrough video demonstrates how to use the new version of the RedditExtractoR package for the free research program R (and its free, more polished presentation in RStudio) in order to download social media information about content of posts and comments and social network relations between Reddit users. The simple 3-line script here will work for any subreddit, making the grabbing of data easy as pie for the enabling of further univariate and multivariate analysis. This video is recorded for students in the social science degree program at the University of Maine at Augusta, which has a mission to make higher education available to as many people as possible. That's why we're glad to share this video with you!
