    Dude, that’s not the point, the point is, the info was right there, and now, it’s not… it’s frustrating when you know that someone had the exact same issue as you and asked on reddit and there was a reply that solves the problem, but someone protesting thought it was a good idea to delete all of his/hers comments, plus the user 😒.

    I agree with protesting, but this is just… excuse the language, but idiotic IMO.

      Be mad at Reddit for fucking shit up. Also, since ChatGPT has this information since it likely scraped reddit before the purge you can ask it in an extremely detailed prompt and you might get it. Works for me like 7/9 times.

        Wow. Great. And if that post were still viewable it would work like 1/1 time.

          Listen man, I rely on the internet as much as the next guy but if Reddit shitting the bed is gonna fuck you over this hard maybe you need to reassess your problem solving skills.

            My dude, what do my problem solving skills have to do with anything? If the post were still there you would not need to ask a chatbot to get a probably maybe correct answer, you’d have the correct answer. Its simple as that.

      I know what you’re saying, but protest is supposed to be disruptive, so yeah. Reddit’s only a host for that information, it’s the right of the person to rip that comment off the internet, nothing idiotic about it. Giving Reddit the information to monetize while quitting is like paying the shop that rip you off while stomping out the store.

      Do ask the question here though, maybe someone else can help.

      Or, and hear me out here…

      Maybe this person deleted their content for some other reason. It happens all the time, I’ve come across gobs and gobs of deleted comments and that was well before the protests.

      Sure more people deleted stuff because of the protests, but tons of people did so either way. I was one of them. My comments never stayed live for more than a week or two.

      If someone is against how a website operates, why would they continue to freely contribute things that would give profits to that website? People found out random specific information before reddit, and people will still be able to find that information after reddit.

      Personally, I look at it as I’m grateful that people freely share such information in the first place. When information is this available to find (we have almost the entire internet’s worth of resources), I’m not going to complain that I can’t find it on one website.

      Having attitudes like the one in this post can discourage people from sharing these things in the first place. No one wants to feel obligated to change their personal accounts to suit the liking of complete strangers, especially after they’re ready to move on. No one will want to be helpful if it just leads to complaints and grievances. Life’s just too short to deal with that noise, frankly.

      Some of these posts are almost implying that an individual person providing valuable information for free for multiple years isn’t enough anymore. It implies that your own morals and wants don’t matter anymore, if someone else has to look a little longer to find something.

      I’m sorry, I’m just sick of all the complaining and the expectations being placed on complete strangers to likely go against their own morals. Just use other websites, or create your own community. No one is beholden to go against their own morals just because it makes searching easier. That is not a great thing to expect of others.

      People have been scrubbing their accounts and comments for the past ten years on Reddit, long before these current protests.

        Yes, and? It was not a better idea then than it is now. Actually it was worse then since it wasn’t related to any protest.

      I totally agree with you. The protests were fine, but “hur dur delete my account and everything on it so noone can ever see it again” was a fucking stupid idea when you’re protesting for the freedom of the internet.
