# reddit-hole 🐰
**Let me ask you:**
- 🙋 Would you like to start uploading the trendy Reddit videos on some platform too?
- 😨 Are you overwhelmed by the existing solution of [RedditVideoMakerBot](https://github.com/elebumm/RedditVideoMakerBot) as it lacks readability and it is hard to modify it on your own?
- 😴 Are you tired of debugging all the issues of the simpler version of it [YoutubeAutomation-Reddit](https://github.com/aahashemi/YouTubeAutomation-Reddit/tree/main)?
**If you replied ⭐ *yes* ⭐ to any of the question above, this is the right place for you! Why this project stands out?**
- 😏 option to choose from creating long "storymode" videos with captions or shorts with the comments' screenshots
- 📒 proper code documentation and readability
- ✅ keeping it simple but configurable (easy to contribute!)
## Examples 🎥
👉 [long "storymode" video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CCY67G0FBg&t=24s)
👉 [shorts](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bmCKxse31s8)
