So what's Reddit's take on something like this?

The company? I don't think they mind, as long as you're following their API rules [1], which I am.

The community? Surprisingly disinterested. Not sure if I did something wrong. I thought they'd love it, but only got 2 points in r/programming and 7 points in r/node. It's not about the points but it's still discouraging.

Maybe I timed it badly, maybe I didn't bait lazy leaders well enough, maybe it's actually not something cool, maybe the ranking algorithm just wasn't in my favour.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
