    feel free to get in touch with us if you have issues with api limits. we can’t change them for individual users but we may be able to give you advice on more efficient usage.

    your bot shouldn’t be logging in every time it checks what is going on; it’s best to persist the JWT you get from logging in and keep using it. the signup/login rate limit (which for whatever reason has the same counter) is relatively low to limit abuse, but the other endpoints should be more relaxed. you’d also have to hit pretty high request counts for us to even look at it. i recommend using a separate bot account (see bot rules).

    unfortunately it seems that people are trusting google search results to be accurate without following links.

    as far as I can tell this is a combination of reddit returning the subreddit creation date as the timestamp that will show up in search results yet including images of recent posts, which google will then use as an indicator of “the image exists on this page”. this will lead to a 7 year old subreddit with recent posts showing as the image being present on a 7 year old search result. if people actually follow the link they’ll see it’s just a link to the subreddit and not to an individual post.

    are there actually this old posts?

    this seems like google + reddit being a shitty combination. i’m seeing fewer results but the two results i get that are 7 years old are just links to the subreddit, not to posts, which is likely throwing off the date on there.

    other reverse image searches like tineye don’t show any prior images, so it’s very likely that you’re just fooled by misleading search results.

    unless you can produce links or other evidence about actual 7 year old content please correct your comment.

    I have already commented the same on the other post.
