This is why I’ve always been against the idea of scrubbing Reddit comments. There’s no way that they hadn’t already scraped and backed everything up already, before the comments were scrubbed. That just deleted the information from the public internet, and the LLMs still get to train from the scraped dataset. It’s just increasing their usefulness.
Yeah it’s not about LLMs to me, it was before they were what they are today. It was anti reddit hostility and to raise awareness of “reddit sucks and centralizing your content with a giant company sucks”
Welp, too late. I grabbed some random userscript and made it change everything to say “spez”. Pages and pages of me commenting “spez” to stuff. Checked back later, and everything is gone. Reduced to atoms. Now I have a ~57k karma empty account.

I refuse to help reddit be useful.
Right, it’s about sending a message.

I also stopped using it, but kept the stuff there anyway.
