    The stupid thing is it has to be a shoutout, rather than a straight-up monitor

Imho, shoutouts make much more sense on a site like Hubski than Reddit. Reddit is just too big. It they are doing something like that, it has to be a version that suits their scale and use-case. It seems like it would be too much of a firehose for some users, especially users that are too well known.

Really it seems to me that it would have been a good feature for Reddit many years ago, but less so now.
