## About This Dataset

This is a **small-scale, beginner-friendly dataset** intended mainly for testing, prototyping, and educational purposes.  
It serves as a minimal, ready-to-use sample for anyone who wants to experiment with Reddit finance discussions.

**Easy to Extend:**  
The provided data collection pipeline (see [**emilpartow/financial-sentiment-pipeline**](https://github.com/emilpartow/financial-sentiment-pipeline)) makes it simple to expand the dataset with more comments, different time frames, additional companies, or other subreddits as needed.

If you need a larger or customized dataset, you can easily adapt and rerun the pipeline to collect more data for your own use case.
