/r/houston most commented posts by year
This was an experiment for me using the Pushshift API / psaw. It grabs the top 10 posts (ranked by number of comments / excluding removed submissions) of each year since the subreddit was created.
The first number of each entry is the post score, the second is the number of comments - click to go to the comments. Click a username to view a user page. Click the title of the post to go to the submitted URL.
The API doesn't include proper scores for posts made after September 2018 yet so it stops there for now.
