In YouTube, you’ll mostly just see Reddit stories being presented with some minecraft parkour in the background. Somewhat most of them are automatically generated by a software that picks a ongoing or hot post in the selected subreddit, gets some top comments and then a TTS program reads the comments out. It is possible to make this for Lemmy as well. Though it depends on how “true story” the Lemmy users can make. I can already see c/asklemmy being one great candidate.
Reddit has also historically been mined by spam websites, made permissible by the content license. Spam article writers find an AskReddit from 4 years ago and make a 15 page “click to the next” article, packed with ads, from all of the most popular comments.
So is that what goes on with a lot of the interesting testimonies on Reddit?
