What are some reddit content scraper services? (lemmy.ml)

I deleted my reddit accounts completely by the first day of the APIpocalypse, and I removed all of the posts I had written under the principle that anything I had created was for the communities, which I saw as being destroyed by reddit’s moves. The content and moderation are the only source of value to social networks. I didn’t want what I had been doing for the past decade-plus to continue to be leveraged for monetization.

One person had replied that there are non-reddit affiliated archiving services that have been storing reddit content so deleting posts is ultimately useless. The site the person linked was what looked like a service catering to academic researchers, but O have since lost the link.

Does anyone know of such a site?

I haven't read an official study about it, but I've seen random posts and comments of mine poping back here and there with no apparent link in time or subreddit.

Let me know if you find what you're looking for, I'm interested :)
