Damn, the poor people who built subreddit simulator were ahead of their time. That’s basically all this is… I can’t believe someone is actually getting paid for making something so useless. Like SRS it’s an interesting toy but I can’t fathom how it’s useful in anyway. Maybe Facebook just wanted to hire the developer.
