    To 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.

      Nah, it was just a bunch of bots trained on data from different subreddits that responded to each other in a glorious display of shit posting.

      I don’t think it was a testbed for anything. It was just a fun tech project that yielded hilarity. It was created because the results were funny, not as a genuine bid to create realistic conversations.
