CEO Steve Huffman says tech giants should not be able to trawl Reddit’s huge store of data for free. But that information came from users, not the company
That “corpus of data” is the content posted by millions of Reddit users over the decades. It is a fascinating and valuable record of what they were thinking and obsessing about. Not the tiniest fraction of it was created by Huffman, his fellow executives or shareholders. It can only be seen as belonging to them because of whatever skewed “consent” agreement its credulous users felt obliged to click on before they could use the service.
Ouch
I removed my content on that site in protest, and will continue to do so as it creeps back in right up to the day when either my every last comment is scrubbed, or I am locked out of my accounts.
No quarter.
Should check if it stays removed, reddit started to restore removed comments and posts and even removed edits
I’ve been watching and sweeping up after subs come back online.
Don’t just delete your comments, use a script to over write them.
I used power delete suite and edited the comments to read, “This content was removed by its creator in protest of Reddit’s planned API changes effective July 2023.”
My comments are processing to do the same now.
Thousands of comments, so gonna take a while.
Give me some scripts dude. I will turn into a Reddit terrorist.
