I don’t love the idea of everyone deleting their comments.
I know Reddit has gone shit. And we should not add more, but I don’t want all the knowledge and tech support fixes it be gone forever. That’s knowledge people can still use.
All your posts and comments will feed the future AI’s. That’s the end goal of reddit: selling their database to different AI’s. Don’t give it for free.
Pretty sure it’s already been scraped. Plus there is the way back machine. But I can’t even count the amount of times I have run in to an issue at work or at home and googled “Problem Reddit” or “item review Reddit” . That info has been invaluable.
Leave Reddit. No more new content. But it’s sad to see such a knowledge base just wiped. It’s hurting the normal people. Reddit has their data. AI has scraped it, or will scrape the history sites of it.
