Reddit AITA Stories for YouTube Shorts and TikTok
Top self-post AITA threads, filtered by word count so they fit a 30-90s short, with the markdown stripped for text to speech. Point it at any subreddit.
What this run is set to
The settings saved on this example. Every one of them is editable once you open it on Apify — these are a starting point, not a limit.
| Setting | Value | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Sources (subreddits or user profiles) | r/AmItheAsshole | Any mix of subreddits and Reddit user profiles. |
Fetch method | rss | rss = no key/login needed (recommended, default). |
Sort | top | top, hot (trending), new (latest), rising, or controversial. |
Time range | week | Time window for 'top' and 'controversial' sorts (ignored for hot/new/rising). |
Max stories per subreddit | 25 | How many qualifying stories to return per subreddit. |
Minimum upvotes | 500 | Skip posts below this upvote count. |
Min words (short-form fit) | 80 | Skip stories shorter than this (too thin for a short). |
Max words (short-form fit) | 600 | Skip stories longer than this (won't fit a 30–90s short). |
Text stories only | on | Keep only self/text-post stories (skip link/image posts) and apply the word-count fit. |
Clean narration text | on | Strip markdown/links/edit-stamps and produce TTS-ready sentences. |
