It's really easy to do, but one bot could take over the whole ecosystem.

I made https://old.reddit.com/r/ExposeTheCult to keep track of NXIVM news and other cult news. I made one to watch articles about the FBI, one for Conservative News... I've lost count there are so many.

I tried pumping some of it to Voat, but the ecosystem is so small, you dwarf all other contributors. Even manually entering it, you can top Voat easily as #1 poster every day with about 100 posts.
