    I mean this without sarcasm at all: why exactly are you people nuking your accounts? I’m not planning to use Reddit much from now on, but I don’t really see any reason why i should destroy an anonymous account over there …

      They get ad revenue based on people viewing user content. I don’t want them making money off of what I wrote anymore.

      It seems the whole thing is that they want to monetize user content. My thirteen years of content, which I’ve occasionally seen pop up on other sites, just went poof.

      It’s to remove all content from Reddit, because the site gets all of its content through the users, so if they delete everything, there is no content or information on Reddit.
