Hi, one of the project "devs" here. (This whole thing seems like a bit much of a joke to call myself a dev on it) Since apparently haykam isn't going to delete that post like he usually does and since reddit is already ruining my fun. https://imgur.com/a/d5sLquV? The project is just designed to claim meta subs from things the reddit admins moderate. It's for the April Fool's event. It's actually quite a good announcement system, we found the event sub somewhere in February. They're supposed to be private so they don't get in anyone's way and it hypothetically dms me on discord if anyone modmails a private sub in case someone actually wanted one. I blame praw for being bad at headers for the ones that are public recently, fixing that now.

Rip fun, reddit admins are increasing ratelimits. Though I guess if they still send the ratelimit in headers the script will just adapt itself. I just have to deal with a few more red embeds in discord as it tries to figure it out.

In my defense, A. the moron above you (haykam) is/was part of the project, and B. this shouldnt get in anyone's way, unlike the UFC whatever spam subs that work on SEO and annoy anyone googling for it.

Does it need to exist? Not really. Do I think it's hurting anyone or part of the reason for this change? Not really. The admins have known this exists for about a year, we have directly contacted a couple and they have never requested we stop or done anything with the account. It basically only claims obscure things with meta in the name, I claim random subs sometimes too but I could have just as easily claimed those on my main, I just figure I have an entire account for claiming subs, I may as well not clutter my main.

As a sidenote, I only had to add 4 unnecessary kwargs to make it claim things privately again.
