    This only affects scrapers. If reddit is selling the data, they will just sell the unedited version from their database.

    This is ineffective and deleting or editing reddit comments has always been a circle jerk to make yourself feel good that you are “hurting” reddit in some way.

        There was a time where there were many sites on the internet; hundreds, thousands even. And someone could search for content in topics they were interested in and find discussions in forums. I hope the internet becomes that again and sites like reddit burn to the ground, their servers salted to never grow again.

        The world recovered from the burning of Alexandria, and it would recover from the death of reddit. And from the rumbling of their new ad injection schemes, the sooner the better.
