Maybe that's not a coincidence! Aaron Swartz, one of the co-founders of Reddit, was also one of the developers of RSS. Most people already know his story, but for those who don't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz

You can also tack ".json" to the end of most Reddit URLs to get it in JSON format which is much easier to work with when scraping content. It's hardly documented anywhere online as well but interesting that they offer both.
This is terrific, thank you!
