If you’re leaving #Reddit over API extortion like I am, here’s a way to burn your comment and post history so they can’t profit off what you’ve contributed.

I just went ahead and started today, regardless. I read the CEO staying the NYT that they were looking to “sell access” to the “corpus of data” on Reddit. IE, stuff I commented and posted. Nuts to that. Not gonna make money off of me.
I’m tired of all this. I’ve said it many times before, I miss when the internet was mostly just making hobby sites for whatever they were interested in. Before it went corporate.
I hear ya. Those sites are still out there, just have to look harder for them. Heck I wouldn’t be surprised if there were still webrings for some places. Haha.
If you want a blast of nostalgia, there’s still some BBSs with web interfaces, and you can still browse Kermit and Gopher with telnet. :)
