I started collecting the /news feed something like 7 years ago in a script, I think it's still running. It's fascinating watching stories get dropped or auto-killed and then running stats to find out what the algorithm is trimming. I think I started it because there'd be things changed or removed and you couldn't tell unless you had looked at it before it was culled. At some point I'll kill the linode it's running on, maybe move it to a Lambda, push the database to GitHub.
