I used to spend hours per day on Reddit. Now I visit once or twice a month, read-only. My subscription is canceled and all my posts/comments deleted. My “front page of the Internet” is now here.
There definitely were personalities on Reddit, like poem_for_your_sprog, who gained a following. I could see sprog making appreciable money with the proposed system.
You could run it under strace, e.g. strace -f -o shreddit.log shreddit…
That’ll show you the system calls it’s making. You might be able to tell if it’s waiting on a network request or local I/O. You can find guides online how to read strace output.
Why do I suspect that, even if one were to spend 8 hours a day on Reddit, making comments that all were gilded, you’d still earn less than minimum wage?
What relevance has this to RedditMigration?
