i wonder if this is because they don't know how to secretly store (say, in an LLM) what your "reactions" were or whatever, so when you wholesale start wiping out your interactions on the site they have two conclusions - you're a bad actor who stole your account; or, you're stealing from them, stealing the only thing they care about, your personal info and preferences.
Parent's issues predate GDPR (i think?) - but i do know i tried one of those reddit "wholesale delete all content and interaction" apps/scripts/plugins whatever, and i got the same thing.
actually ignore my first, i just realized it's to stop people from either stealing and selling, or just the owner selling their account - imagine a 16 year old FB account, it'd be pretty hard to ban that account (you'd think).
either way, it's my data, and i want it NOW
