    The sad part of it is that they (reddit) can still access that deleleted information and sell it for AI training. Even as a “power” user you can use websites that “undelete” that content. The only ones truly affected by this are people randomly browsing reddit.

      I mean it does reduce the value of the content that users created on reddit if a ton of random comments were deleted in protest. Every time you hit a thread like the OOP it reduces reddit 's value to the individual, and in aggregate it reduces reddits value

        Did you actually read my comment? That’s an issue casual users have. If you want to see deleted comments, there’s a way to do that.

        The only thing that actually hurts reddit is if people stop using it an generating new content.
