In this scenario, "no one can" is the uncaring corporation who has chosen a path to ruin any good will with the community.
The content people have created for free on reddit is literally the only form of leverage they have aside from actually going to the site.
Sure some lost soul could use that tidbit of info, but they'll only have Reddit to blame.
- joemi 3y agoYes, "no one can" means "the uncaring corporation", but it ALSO means "everyone else in the entire world". > Sure some lost soul could use that tidbit of info, but they'll only have Reddit to blame. No, reddit isn't making anyone delete all their content. The person deleting all their content is to blame. They could just walk away, but instead, they're purposefully making reddit worse for everyone.
- danShumway 3y ago> but instead, they're purposefully making reddit worse for everyone. Yes, specifically because of Reddit's actions. Specifically because Reddit made decisions that made them no longer want to contribute to the site's success and (incidentally) also because Reddit offers no way at all for people to opt-out of furthering the company's commercial interests and no way at all for people to refuse to reinforce the network effect keeping the site afloat without also damaging the community.
- ddingus 3y agoYou are right about that. Sucks doesn't it? You seem to be making a good case for just living with bad corporate decisions for somehow that being a greater, or worthy good. That is legit, but I see a large percentage of users do not agree. They get to do that.
