It would be possible for Reddit because Pushshift.io archives all the comments there and Reddit is still pretty small. I'd probably need to make things a lot faster. Doing it on a specific subreddit would be very feasible. I'll think about it but I don't actually know if I really want to do that because for instance I've been banned from subreddits before but I don't want a ban from when I was 12 years old to follow me around forever because my writing style hasn't changed. Moderation is the most obvious application of this kind of software.

Insightful that your personal experience and impact on you personally affects your decision. I invite you to think about the impact of the products you build in your CS career by putting yourself in the shoes of other people as well.
Some products should not be built, even though it's easy to build them.
What other easily-built products do you think should not exist?
