There's this youtuber that goes around and films people in public, its funny because people get mad but most people in cities are already being filmed hundreds of times a day.

The message is the same, if you are worried about X vector you should really think about YZ first for it to make sense.

Problem is Reddit content and votes aren't all human so unless they kept a record of which parts are just chatbots and which votes were faked its not exactly useful to train on in a pure sense.

In any case I'm glad reddit has fucked themselves. This small corner of sanity is a bastion in a shit blizzard.
