That sounds like a shitton of spam. I feel like instead, someone just needs to make a searchable mirror/archive of Reddit to preserve it's knowledgebase.

Or just use chatgtp to paraphrase.

I mean, I specifically put "Reddit" at the end of my searches exactly because I DON'T want AI generated nonsense. Search results are already full of that crap and it's rarely helpful to what you actually need.

The point is not to have shitter content.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Has to be better than older Reddit.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

It wouldn't be done in one day.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can it be done? Theoretically yes. Should it be done? Probably no.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same questions, better answers?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That would be helpful to a huge community, lot of answers need updates anyway

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sounds like stealing content from another site with hope that search traffic will be redirected.

Stealing in legal and ethical meanings.

Not a good idea and will not work technically I think. Stealing content is an old approach and search engines use some techniques to find out the original source.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lots of questions are time sensitive, seeing answers that should belong on a different timestamp would look weird

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

It would be newer information.

Is this even a good format to archive information? I'd prefer any information worth saving to be written into some kind of formal documentation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I agree but fuk spez 😂

Legally? No, that would be copyright infringement, unless you tracked down the original authors and got their permission.

The copyright on all those questions and answers belongs to the people who wrote them.

Reddit has (under its ToS) a perpetual license from those people to publish that copyrighted work.

You don't.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oopy question /paste answer is a bad idea but copy question /update answer is better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I wish them all the best enforcing that, lol.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Stop downvoting this post; it’s mildly funny

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can we strive for better and not let corporations manipulate karma for cheap advertising, and do away with the company that directly influenced the civil unrest and riots?

I'm not talking about comparison, I'm talking competition.
