Reddit removes years of chat and message archives from users’ accounts::undefined

My gut tells me they are not deleted but rather simply no longer publicly available. Can’t have these pesky AI bots training for free.
100%. The idea that reddit would just permanently delete all those chat messages rather than just archive them away from the public is crazy. Even if they don’t directly sell that to advertisers there’s a shitload of value for private ML training
