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.

[–] Camzing@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The point is not to have shitter content.

[–] Camzing@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Has to be better than older Reddit.

[–] Camzing@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

It wouldn't be done in one day.

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Camzing@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same questions, better answers?

[–] And009@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] gelberhut@lemdro.id 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Camzing@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

It would be newer information.

[–] user224 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Izzy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Camzing@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I agree but fuk spez 😂

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Camzing@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 1 points 2 years ago

I wish them all the best enforcing that, lol.

[–] Lammy@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Stop downvoting this post; it’s mildly funny

[–] madthumbs@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years 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?

[–] Camzing@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Camzing@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Bottom line is you need better content.
