And yet reddit is happy to make money off our content for free.

Or at least it did. Personally I overwrote and deleted all my content a while back.

You think that Reddit didn’t already have the previous content saved?

Everyone always says this like it’s some kind of gotcha, but all of my nuked posts still have my “fuck you, reddit” content and haven’t been reverted. It’s been nearly exactly a year.

Maybe reddit has an offline copy of my old content and that of others somewhere, but if so they’d be handing that directly over to whoever under some kind of agreement – that certainly wouldn’t be the subject of any kind of site crawling which is the crux of the issue here.

I certainly wasn’t implying that they were going to revert your comments.
