ENEMYGUNSHIPDystopian Reddit runs on fake content (must read)
Anyone remember the subredditsimulator subreddit, or whatever it was called? Basically an entire sub dedicated to faking content.
Seems they're out of the beta.
harashoTo be fair, subredditsimulator was most likely never intended to do what you are thinking. As you develop features, you need a test data set to check it against before you go live with it. My understanding of subredditsimulator was that it was reddit's test bed to be able to try things before they get widely rolled out.

It was connected to the GPT2 project so it absolutely was a genuine bid
