Customers? We're the product. Selling our data is where the $$$ is.

What kills me is that a lot of news articles that users on this site link to are already behind paywalls. So they want me to pay reddit to click a link I have to pay to read? No thank you lmao

It’s time to move back to digg or something else. I wish it weren’t so hard for everyone to jump platforms these days.

Doesn't entirely work now because you can't edit comments while suspended, and the edits have to be up for a considerable time or some other logic. My previous accounts still show correct comments today through reddit APIs even though i had edited them all and waited for a day to delete. Best to start editing and removing posts daily
