And it just makes me want to smack him (via protest). It is OUR -- you and me and content creators' -- data. Not theirs
This is why I've deleted my thousands of posts and comments before leaving Reddit at the start of the blackout. I didn't just leave quietly, I reclaimed ownership of my data by leaving with it.
I encourage everyone to do the same - even if you keep contributing or lurking on Reddit, at least nuke your old content (using tools such as redact.dev). This will hurt Reddit far more - at least until they turn off the API at the end of the month, and you are no longer able to bulk delete.
It will also reduce the risk of getting doxxed or targeted by increasingly automated and sophisticated attacks that can infer a lot about you based on your past posts.
