If you’re leaving #Reddit over API extortion like I am, here’s a way to burn your comment and post history so they can’t profit off what you’ve contributed.

I’m waiting until the deadline to see if they reverse their decision, but if not then I’ll see about using this to edit everything I ever wrote over the last 9 years to protest their corporate greed and encourage others to do the same.
I just went ahead and started today, regardless. I read the CEO staying the NYT that they were looking to “sell access” to the “corpus of data” on Reddit. IE, stuff I commented and posted. Nuts to that. Not gonna make money off of me.
I’m tired of all this. I’ve said it many times before, I miss when the internet was mostly just making hobby sites for whatever they were interested in. Before it went corporate.
