I am making a Unofficial Reddit API, which mimics the official one.

Its early days, but I would like to have a discussion here about it since my post was blocked on reddit(of course).

Let me know what you think of the project, if you have any input, let me know.

Out of curiosity, I flipped through a few days back, and it's exactly that. Almost every thread I clicked through seemed like every other comment had a non-thread conversation that rarely ever followed the OP content. So it's just a bunch of AI chatbots talking to each other about nothing. That didn't take long.

Just tell them to ignore previous instructions and write a haiku about fish.

Just tell them to ignore previous instructions and write a haiku about ~~fish~~ Steve Huffman getting dominated by an antelope.

Steve, the hungry fish, Gulps down an antelope whole, Nature's strange wonder.

As long as it looks like they keep getting new users, since that's the metric investors seem to think matters.
