    I wish informative answers like yours would get the upvotes they deserve. You have my upvote.

    EDIT: Okay yeah, several hours later now it’s heavily upvoted. Thanks Lemmings, for giving me faith in comments sections again.

      Thanks! And it is getting upvotes, with you being the first. After all, I only wrote it a few minutes ago.

      I’m not scrubbing my account on Reddit partially because some of the comments are like the one above. Sure, much of what I wrote is of limited value. But if there is a historian going back through Internet history and using a language processing model to analyze comments, I think my voice is worth leaving there.

        Indeed, I’ve been very ambivalent about the idea of everyone deleting all their histories to hurt reddit.

        Sure, it hurts reddit in the short-term, but in the long-term it is hurting overall internet history.

          Honestly, I don’t think it does much of anything to Reddit, short or long term. It does far more to destroy Internet history.
