Not reddit data, users data.
- RosanaAnaDana 3y agoThis is the key. Reddit owns nothing except a very poorly performant app that no one wants and a very forced and shitty web experience unless you are on old.reddit.com. Its mind boggling how wrong they've been getting it for as long as they've been getting it wrong. Like how can any company/ CEO be that dense?
- sekai 3y agoExactly, when users start migrating, Reddit is dead in the water.
- e4e5 3y agoDoesn't Reddit own the data now? That's the unfortunate truth of these platforms. They offer your a platform and pay for hosting and you give them your attention and content.
- Sophira 3y agoLegally, they don't own the data, but they do have a perpetual license to the data and can do basically whatever they want it with it. Not much of a difference but it's one of these things where the details might be crucial.
- kyriakos 3y agoI haven't tested it but if as a user you were to ask for your days to be deleted they'd have to comply, at least in EU. So if there was a mass walkout a lot of comments and post would disappear.
- anadem 3y agoNo need to ask, just use Power Delete Suite: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

- r00fus 3y agoYes, this is true. However, the fact that reddit was where they got it means OpenAI capitalized on something that was given for free, and now reddit is trying to do the same and failing (because they have no value proposition). It's sad that the place where all the users stored their data is getting burned down because it offered free access.
