I rickrolled a thousand people in less than an hour

I love rickrolling people! There’s something so harmless yet so purely evil about it. The disappointment you can spread with just one decade old prank is beautiful.
So one fine morning I decided to make a reddit bot that rickrolls anyone who dares to ask for a link in the comments. So I used one of my old reddit accounts that already had 127 karma so I don’t hit the API limit with every comment.
Streamed all the comments from r/all and replied to any comment that had the word ‘link’ in it. Result? See for yourself!

You may find the code here(click on it, I dare you!)
