When I saw this news yesterday, it made me realize I hadn't used Reddit almost at all since the purge last summer. I ran the PowerDelete tool last night to nuke my profile and then deleted my account this morning. 10 years of posts and comments gone but ill be damned if im going to let those posts stay and train AI to make this douche canoe any more money.
It's sad, really. So much humanity just bought for a sum. So much offered with nothing expected in return. There's always someone who will try to profit from stuff like that, and they're always horrible, horrible people.
Such a succinct and well written comment, thanks.
