It took me 36 hours to collect the 4M posts. Reddit API returns results in batches of 100 results, and then sleeps for 2 seconds.
You can find some more details on how it was built here https://blog.valohai.com/machine-learning-pipeline-classifying-reddit-posts https://blog.valohai.com/machine-learning-pipeline-classifyi...
I can publish on Github the repository that runs two commands to collect the data if your are interested.
