Reddit but like, infinite?

Check out Infinite Reddit on my github and the slide deck too!

Take a squiz at one of our sample videos generated entirely by code.

What is it?

Did you ever see those text-to-speech videos on YouTube? There were people who found a way to print money by screenshotting Reddit threads and editing them into videos. Even with the absurdly large amount published and the ease of accessing the content yourself, these would rack up hundreds of thousands to millions of views, getting at least a few $$$ from that Youtube algorithm.

With that same content, these people now create the Instagram or TikTok “zoomer” videos with fast captions and background video of subway surfers, instead of using the original clickbait-style thumbnails and titles. At time of writing this

The primary goal for this weekend hackathon project was to be able to take the entirety of Reddit as an input, and output YouTube videos or a Twitch stream.

How was it made?

Using 3 servers across 2 laptops, we stitched together a server which you can input a thread ID, and have it algorithmically choose the most interesting comments to TTS, build images, edit it all together, and spit out a video file that you can upload straight to YouTube.
