    Indeed, I’ve been very ambivalent about the idea of everyone deleting all their histories to hurt reddit.

    Sure, it hurts reddit in the short-term, but in the long-term it is hurting overall internet history.

      Honestly, I don’t think it does much of anything to Reddit, short or long term. It does far more to destroy Internet history.

        Depending on when you posted your comments, I’d assume most of it is already archived somewhere. Even if that’s not true, having the comments in a walled garden (that is actively trying to become more walled) is not going to help internet history, especially with the API becoming paid.
