       | Where does ArchiveTeam find all the reddit posts and comments to
       | archive? Do they have a script automatically going through the
       | "New" section or are they finding posts through Google or link
       | crawling?

       | I think this requires more explanation. Is this some kind of
       | cloud archiving? Are they using ipfs or something like that?
