    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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?
