So basically I figured out that reddits PM system was shite. There was no captcha or any kind of defense mechanism meaning you could send thousands of PMs per minute without consequence. I used this to spam over 2 million endgame spoilers to fag subs for fun and got a lot of fun flack and death threats for it.
However sadly it seems they got enough reports they have now changed it. Now you require a captcha per PM.

I had a shit tonne of fun abusing this, and will share some of the best replies I got when I got time. Im also super pleased my actions forced faggot reddit to change their PM policy. I got suspended the exact moment the PM policy changed so Im sure it was my actions which forced them to change it which is hilarious. One goatfag with a 30 line script is enough to force them to chance their policies. Thats how fucking sad and weak they are.
But sadly this means this method is no longer viable. Will just have to find new ways to troll the reddit fucks.

Literally my script for scraping user names was as follows
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
$subs = array("aww","mademesmile","todayilearned","funny","science","unexpected","photoshopbattles","wellthatsucks","oddlysatisfying","casualuk","showerthoughts","pics","oldpeoplefacebook","insanepeoplefacebook","insanepeoplefacebook","trashy","crappydesign","freefolk","iamverysmart","watchpeopledieinside","hmmm","eyebleach","maliciouscompliance","food","gameofthrones","dankmemes","anormaldayinrussia","puns","gonewild","justiceserved","gifs","fakehistoryporn","formula1","animalsbeingjerks","animalsbeingbros","natureismetal","latestagecaptalism","teenagers","scottishpeopletwitter","gay","fuckthealtright","whitepeopletwitter","ruope","esist","lgbt","suddenlygay","judaism","gameofthrones","twoxchromosomes","trollxchromosomes","gaming","movies","againsthatesubreddits","politics","the_mueller","blackpeopletwitter","wholsomebpt","thanosdidnothingwrong","politicalhumor","topmindsofreddit","inthesoulstone","marvelstudios","marvel","games","gamingcirclejerk","chapotraphouse","drama","democrats","atheism","trumpgret","marchagainsttrump");
foreach($subs as $item) { $html = file_get_contents('https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment/?subreddit='.$item.'&limit=30000&user_removed=no&sort_type=created_utc&sort=desc'); if ($html !== false) {
$parsed_json = json_decode($html);
foreach ($parsed_json->data as $item2) { echo $item2->author.'</br>'; } } } ?>
I then used a professional hacking program I have access to as part of my job to mass spam as it has built in multithreading. Basically used said script to scrape 100k names at a time then spammed them

NOW AVAILABLE AS A PYTHON SCRIPT
I also made it ignore users that have been deleted.
It seems that only certain users get the captcha for sending messages, it's not on for my accounts.
If anyone is interested I'll write up a multithreaded script to do the messaging too.
fills out

I said "endgame bad" on there once and got like 50 downvotes. This brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for your service.

That's really cool. Bizarre that they hadn't protected themselves against this into now.

I dont think anyone bothered till now. Thats all i can imagine. Literally just simple scraping and spamming. I agree its bizarre. I was shocked when I figured out you could just spam shit without consequence. Like what the actual fuck haha. As a result I spoiled at least 100k people of their capeshit. But seriously how do you have it so you can mass spam pms.
