    First, good on the Verge for actually pushing that line of questioning; it’s important. I’m no particular fan of Verge reporting but this is legit and should be commended.

    Second, spez KEEPS. FUCKING. SAYING. “OUR DATA.” And it just makes me want to smack him (via protest). It is OUR – you and me and content creators’ – data. Not theirs. They pay for infrastructure and indexing and are allowed to eke out a margin of profit by feeding us ads. Totally fine, for me at least. This harvesting of user IP has always been an unspoken truth and accepted thing, but now the exploitation of it and punishment of the owners is way beyond permissible.

    Last, I’m seeing rumors they’re watermarking content now on test subs? Anyone confirm?

      This is why I’ve deleted my thousands of posts and comments before leaving Reddit at the start of the blackout. I didn’t just leave quietly, I reclaimed ownership of my data by leaving with it.

      I encourage everyone to do the same - even if you keep contributing or lurking on Reddit, at least nuke your old content (using tools such as redact.dev). This will hurt Reddit far more - at least until they turn off the API at the end of the month, and you are no longer able to bulk delete.

      It will also reduce the risk of getting doxxed or targeted by increasingly automated and sophisticated attacks that can infer a lot about you based on your past posts.
