Description

bug

This wasn't really an issue before, but now it's a big problem because of adding playlist's. Simple workaround would be to add support for a subreddit blacklist, but really we need better error handling. Should be cognizant of similar issue when attempting to comment on a deleted post: use specialized exceptions from praw.
