I see where you're coming from but I hope Reddit doesn't die. Yes this situation sucks, but there's a lot of valuable information on Reddit after years of indexing everyone and anyone's questions. Killing Reddit is akin to burning down the library of Alexandria (Not nearly as sever, but I'm sure you get the picture.)
At least before Reddit dies, I hope we find a way to archive all of that user data.
I think there should be archives available until march: https://archive.org/details/pushshift-reddit-2023-03/
EDIT: https://academictorrents.com/details/7c0645c94321311bb05bd879ddee4d0eba08aaee has others (from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36038684), then there is https://academictorrents.com/details/c861d265525c488a9439fb874bd9c3fc38dcdfa5 and https://academictorrents.com/details/9971c68d2909843a100ae955c6ab6de3e09c04a1
Data hoarder, let's go! No one knows how long, till Reddit sues archive org using DMCA
