Give your model to a reddit bot and let it loose on /r/me_irl.

Not a bad idea. The "not loss" training set actually contains a few hundred images scraped from there.

There are plenty of subreddits and online forums where a single-purpose lightweight CNN like this one could be enormously productive. It would obviously need a small backend somewhere, but the hardware requirements are minimal.

I mean, I wouldn't call this productive. But fun and useful most definitely.

Obviously, loss/not loss isn't a genuinely useful classification.

Something to automatically help users identify forum-specific images (e.g. poisonous/harmless spiders, bedbugs/beetles, snakes, etc.) would be useful, and the network would be the same.
