Reddit is awesome and houses some of the best content I've read, but there's a problem.

In some subreddits like Writing prompts, ELI5, etc... we care more about the upvotes/score of comments than the comment's parent post.

This is a problem because the best comments (explanations, stories, jokes, etc...) are not always in the highest-rated post. Sometimes comments are higher rated than the parent post. This extremely challenging when the Top filter in Reddit is sorting by post's upvotes and not the comment's upvotes.

Here top posts from Reddit are ranked by the comment's upvotes/score (5th column), using data before 2019 (Forgotten content and also avoiding up-vote gamification.)

Awesome, what's the data source? are you using some kind of API or just scraping?
