Reddit is a trove of user built content under the guise of community. What Spez did was to say "thanks for all the free work, suckers!", put a price sticker on it, and laughed all the way to the bank.
And this is why I'm not active on any Internet community anymore. Nevermind, I guess I just can't help myself...
And that is another unintended example of why all of my post history was purged before migration.
What are they odds that they kept it in a backup?
Some 4chan users created a backup bot that auto saves every few hours, so if reddit didn't do it already, 4chan has been doing it for a while. The bot was originally made for 4chan but repurposed for other websites, reddit included.
Yeah, it's all too late. Shit, PRISM was 2007, so there's a copy of everything somewhere. Obviously different ends.
Spez like people are even capable of leeching archive.org and still sell the data which was archived for good intentions.
Depends. If they were smart they backed up every content that had a certain number of upvotes and/or a certain number of paragraphs and/or responses. Just to weed out all the 2-3 word comments that no one interacted with. If OP wrote mostly those then Reddit gives a shit about them deleting those.
Welcome to the club.
Don't cheat yourself just because there are douches that take advantage...
