How do you scrape Reddit data for market research without getting blocked?

Running into 429 rate limits is seriously ruining my product research script right now. Every time I try to collect thread comments to analyze community sentiment, Reddit flags my scraper within five minutes—even with basic delays built in. Standard datacenter IPs seem to be useless here. How is everyone else pulling sub-data smoothly without burning through IPs constantly?

Distributing scraper requests across residential IP networks helps prevent rate-limiting bans.

That 429 wall was a complete nightmare for me too when I was gathering feedback for a client project. I kept tweaking delay timers, but standard server IPs just get flagged instantly. What finally solved the headache was using https://www.simplynode.io/targets/proxies-for-reddit to route my requests through clean residential nodes. Once I had proper IP rotation hooked up, my script started running smoothly for hours without hitting a single CAPTCHA or block.
