Great post, thanks for explaining it clearly to folks. I requested mine a couple of weeks ago. It's worth noting that they have 30 days to respond to these requests (GDPR or otherwise), so don't expect it immediately. I think I've heard anecdotally that they can't do it if you've already deleted your account, too. Something to consider as far as order of operations.
I kind of miss DIWHY, always some good nonsense on there.
