Given the sheer amount of data on Reddit, this is really not feasible nor scalable, nor is a long term solution. A simple CloudFlare configuration will quickly put an end to such a solution.

RSS exists, however only allows you to subscribe to subreddit posts, not comments.

This is why the API changes are such a big deal.
