Reddit WSB Annotated Dataset 2021

This is a WIP randomized sample of comments from the Wallstreetbets community on Reddit during the GameStop event during the 2021 rise. The sample contains 5000 observations of which 3000 were annotated and agreed upon by two annotators. The next 600 were annotated by two authors but due to time constraints, only 1 author corrected them. The remaining 1400 have only been annotated by one author and have not been compared.

The second file is the annotation ruleset used to annotate the dataset, we briefly summarize the rules here:

Annotations are broken into two main categories, support (the comment indicates some level of support for either the company GameStop, the stock price, or the narrative of 'us' vs 'them'.). Support can be either Y= Yes, N= No, U= Unsure, I= Informative.

The second category, 'intent' indicates the individual has expressed intentions or interest in the stock, or has already purchased the stock during the event period. Intent can be either Y= Yes, N= No, M= Maybe, U= Unsure, or I= Informative.
