It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him

    Which is why people should scrub their comments. A lot of people are holding on to “The good times.” with their posts and comments. It doesn’t matter if reddit can technically undo the work, I’m still going to check and make sure it stays gone. Without that content, reddit is nothing.

      To be honest, I respect that position, but I don’t hold enough contempt against them to do that, and on the other hand I do value Reddit as an archive of online knowledge and debate. I can just leave it if I don’t want it in my life anymore. I would like any comments I made on specific topics I’m knowledgeable about to be accessible and used as reference in the future.

          But that’s not the point. I’m not saying I’m super important, but I believe I have helped several people with technical or academic questions on Reddit before, and anyone looking that up could access my comments and they might help other people in the future.

          I don’t hate Reddit as a corporation enough to erase what might be useful to someone else in the future, and they can profit off of it if they want, since I didn’t make those comments with my profit in mind anyway.

          I understand wanting to erase your data from Reddit, and I realize it’s also a responsible decision, but I personally don’t like the idea of wiping clean one of the greatest hubs of information in the entire internet, even if I disagree with their corporate practices.
