🆚 Why this one

Feature	This actor	Others
Full comment trees	✅	top-level only
AI markdown + tokens	✅	❌
Runs on free plan, no proxy	✅	proxy only

Under the hood it uses Reddit's official application-only OAuth on oauth.reddit.com (not the public .json endpoints, which Reddit 403s from every datacenter IP). That's why it needs no residential proxy and runs cheaply on the free plan.

❓ FAQ

Do I need credentials or a proxy? No. The actor ships with its own free Reddit app baked in, authenticates via oauth.reddit.com, and needs no proxy. (If you want to run your own copy, create a free Reddit app at https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps — choose type script — and paste its Client ID + Secret into the input.)
