Well here is me abandoning reddit after 10 years. At the end they can do whatever they want with reddit and i can choose in which platform waste my time.
Same here after 11, they forget that the users create the value, they're only the middlemen.
They know users create the value but in order to turn that value into a form that makes investors happy they have to squeeze the users. It's like a digital Macquarie Island and we're all penguins.
This feels like an odd episode to be hosted on "all things comedy".
There are ways to accomplish that without being overtly hostile to the people who give your site value. He's just choosing to do it in the stupidest way possible.
It's either overtly hostile or covertly hostile
Covertly hostile is the smarter way to do it.
It may be, but I honestly prefer overt hostility, it just makes things clearer.
You're right that it's good he chose the stupid way because it shows people exactly how he feels. You'd just think that he'd want to choose the most profitable way rather than pissing off the unpaid people who give his site value. Ah, well.
Which is why I ran Power Delete Suite on my account on the way out. I created a lot of value and they apparently didn't appreciate that, so now it's all gone.
12 year user with 700k comment karma. Power washing my account by months end.
13 year user here. Well, I only managed half as much karma as you, but that's my plan as well.
Just gotta make sure to do it before the API change, or else the tools to wipe your comments will likely cease to function.
I ended up using redact.dev to overwrite everything and then delete
