The platform hosts over 100,000 active communities, attracting 76 million users daily and generating a massive amount of data that includes real-time discussions, opinions, and interactions, which is highly valuable for AI and machine learning model development. With the rapid advancement of AI technology, Reddit's data has become a key resource for training AI models. In 2023, Reddit launched its data licensing program, which is expected to grow significantly in 2024.

The study collected over 4,000 potential risk factors and analyzed them using machine learning models. The models found that mental health issues like depression and anxiety were the most significant. Compared to models that only considered historical behavior, these models can more accurately predict future risks.
