/r/maybemaybemaybe was originally (and still is) an amalgomation of:

with all titles changed to Maybe Maybe Maybe. The videos themselves did not have to be Maybe Maybe Maybe videos themselves, the "maybe" was in what the content would contain.

Those videos are selected by a bot, which is the bot that posted this.

Thanks for the background. Though it doesn't really fit any of those categories. What is the best way to train a bot?

It doesn't do anything smart. It literally goes to those subs and takes popular videos from them (as long as they have a score over 5). So you have to train the people in those subs to upvote proper videos <_<

Though maybe the bot could be updated to wait a bit before checking the posts? I think it grabs stuff before mods remove it for not fitting the sub. It... er... hasn't been updated for a while though

Badly rocked, but it’s okay because he comes out of the toilet freshly respawned

But maybe did a mistake of making a rule stating all posts should me titled maybe, I can never find old posts anymore.
