    Honestly I hope not that many people do this. I get that it feels good to stick it to reddit and we don’t like them profiting off of our content, but there is SO MUCH good information/help that we have sitting on reddit that you just can’t find anywhere else.

    I can’t tell you how many times I solved a problem by finding a slightly related reddit comment that I couldn’t find an answer for anywhere else. Going to be sad times when we can’t do that anymore :(

      Yea I totally understand that sentiment, I was in that situation too many times. I for one was mostly a lurker who rarely even commented so no big loss there :D

      You’re right. It’s a damn shame it has come to this. Reddit is/ was one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) repositories for information/tips/tricks/help guides/random comments that finally help you crack that problem you’d been struggling with for weeks.

      But it just goes to show you, never trust something like this to a closed source, private, or for profit entity, because they can randomly decide to screw anyone over whenever they like for whatever reason they deem acceptable.

      Reddit uses this information (which they gained for free) to run ads and make money.
