Finally finished deleting all my old comments and posts from my 12 year old account and hit that delete button. (Had to use old Reddit to get it to go through.) Feels good.

I did the same on 4 separate accounts I've been running the oldest was 10 years. I don't know why I didn't do that sooner. I emptied but left one account just in case I need to write something over there. It would take something pretty monumental for me to log in over there.

I wasn't sure about what to expect about this community, but this thread is gold and totally make it for me worth it to join lol.

Just a little schadenfreude after reading spez' AMA. We gotta get it off our chests, can't be walking around with all that anger :)

Your friends if you want to take your value with you on exiting Reddit:

and Shreddit

I'd frankly recommend using Shreddit to delete everything older than, say, a week. Then use the tools from Operation:Razit to replace the rest with a message indicating that the content has been replaced and telling how to reconnect here.

This is even better if you've ever looked at the comments on the ads that have them enabled.

Also, why would any company buy ad space when they can buy accounts and astroturf? I forget the corporatized name for it, but studies have shown that just bringing your brand up in discussion on social media is often much more effective than paying for ad space.

I forget the corporatized name for it

You're probably talking about either

  • viral marketing - when corporate relies on people advertising its product, for free
  • native advertisement - when corporate is the one doing the ad, but they disguise it as actual content

And Reddit will now gain a lot of boomers as its userbase.
