    I used a program to delete all of my posts and comments at once. It took some time since it went post by post, but I didn’t want any of my intellectual property making money for a company that continues to shit all over users.

    Spez can go fuck himself with a hot metal fork.

      People are saying that it would be really easy to keep all of the predeleted stuff to sell, I don’t know if that’s true or not.

        On a technical level, it’s absolutely true. They already have to keep it for legal purposes (e.g. a user posting illegal material, then deleting/altering it).

        As for whether they’re actively harvesting that for sale is another matter entirely.

    “If anything I think it devalues Reddit because now the board has to do things for investors instead of doing things for the Reddit community,”

    Reddit stopped doing things for the community a long time ago

    I am glad I left when I did. I can’t wait to see everyone else leave once the porn gets removed post IPO. Its just a matter of time
