    It’s your account and your comments. You can do with them as you wish.

    That’s the point. If you don’t wish to leave them behind to be profitable to Reddit, that’s also your choice. I don’t feel strongly about your choice to do it one way or another. Personally, I nuked my 15yo account and all comments completely because I don’t want to leave anything valuable behind to make profits for a company that I feel doesn’t deserve them.

    The point is, those comments were mine, not theirs. I don’t want them selling them for profit, especially to an LLM mill.

      I mean it’s quite naive if you thought that they weren’t trying to profit off of you before the whole paid API debacle.

      Not saying you didn’t, but we clearly valued things differently.

      The long term loss of me leaving the platform is much bigger than the short term loss of me deleting my comments.

        I really hate the attitude that everything is exactly the same and that nothing is ever worse than anything else.

        There is nothing naive here.

        Reddit changed policy and philosophy significantly and that’s what led to the backlash and lots of users leaving. You know that and clearly agree with it. And using my comments for display purposes as part of the community under the terms and understanding I had 15 years ago is very different than using my comments to train AI and their new attitude that started this year.
