At some point, it will just be repost bots having conversations in the comments of posts "created" by other repost bots.
/r/subreddit_simulator wasn't just an experiment, it was prophetic.
It ended up as /u/Spez's roadmap for the future of Reddit.
I realized that after deleting my oldest reddit account I should have sold the damn thing.
Might work out how to do that yet for my remaining accounts
I like my username too much to have a hand in making it shill ads and misinformation.
Yup. I'm Anarch157a everywhere (except Mastodon, for reasons), Steam, Lemmy, Discord, etc. Having my old - now deleted - Reddit account as a bot could spill over my identity in other services.
I haven't deleted mine yet because there are still comments I'd like to edit that are currently in private subreddits. Only when I'm sure everything I've ever said on reddit is now the same text urging people to abandon reddit in favor of the fediverse will I delete the account itself.
Where did you find pricing info? I wouldn't have guessed accounts would be worth much with the rampant botting
Accounts with 100,000+ karma are $200 and up, apparently. Source: savingadvice dot com /articles/2023/05/31/1089629_sell-your-reddit-account.html
On playerup dot com /acconts/redditacconut/ I see one "rare account" that's 13 years old going for $120 and a 14 year old one for $150
Most are a few years old, just barely a few thousand karma, and $17-25.
Hah! I could have got a round of drinks in rather than deleting mine. But fuck 'em.
