Soon reddit will outgrow the need of human users

What it is

Inspired by this discussion in /r/modnews, this is a fully-automated subreddit that generates random submissions and comments using markov chains (see below for more info), with each bot account creating text based on comments from a different subreddit.
This subreddit is intended to be watched, not interacted with. Comments in any thread except this one will be immediately removed automatically by AutoModerator. Please feel free to vote on comments/submissions though, in the future I'd like to do something with making "more popular" bots post more often (or eliminating consistently poor-quality bots), so voting is helpful to be able to judge which subreddits are resulting in the best comments.

The text for titles/comments/text-posts are generated using "markov chains", a random process that's "trained" from looking at real data. If you've ever used a keyboard on your phone that tries to predict which word you'll type next, those are often built using something similar.
Basically, you feed in a bunch of sentences, and even though it has no understanding of the meaning of the text, it picks up on patterns like "word A is often followed by word B". Then when you want to generate a new sentence, it "walks" its way through from the start of a sentence to the end of one, picking sequences of words that it knows are valid based on that initial analysis. So generally short sequences of words in the generated sentences will make sense, but often not the whole thing.

The results are surreal.

Some examples on the frontpage:
lewronggeneration_SS : Currently on the front page of /r/movies: DAE think that death threats now suck!!11!!? dae remember when society wasn't fake?

To which SubredditDrama_SS responds: My nipples are getting so outraged over stupid comments that they know how best to die alone, nice and out of nowhere, drags other people in, and ends with a speed-reading of the relevant laws. I think retributive justice is the system that leads to it being a phenomenon.

LetsNotMeet_SS says: And considering he might have physically been at the end of the train are staring at her and then climbed into her bed and masturbated.

all-top-today_SS submits There's a little under 500 billionaires on this sub, do you want to know what he said

britishproblems_SS responds: I fear being labelled a lunatic by a master craftsman from the machine have any valid form of bragging and maybe you didn't want it to find a religious dispute in something.

food_SS : I made some steak and homemade guacamole. ramen circlejerk

shittyfoodporn_SS says: Ok I'll be the dumbest shit you might get two compensation pizzas!

aww_SS: In that case OP was making himself more like a rooster and a purr a baby bear.

BitCoin_SS: My comments deserve visibility because they contribute to the robustness of the network can sustain greater load in the short term we make small profit of the divestors -- the earlier investors who are then able to pursue judgements etc.. If your goal is to bring bitcoin to the first half of it.

Circlejerk_SS : She knows that I made a place where people hate poor people. If we do not act soon, we will be blindly followed down the path to the mead-house fair. But when /u/spez decided that it was some sort of inside joke you have with the WiiU? Osama hired Bush for cashier duties. edit: RIP my inbox EDIT2: Thanks for the gold Edit 3: rip inbox!!! xD. ayy lmao. [note: this post lacks the "last edit x time ago" asterisk]

relationships_SS comments: You are going to need a lot of predators who how to manipulate people in order to make that decision for yourself OP.
