I’ve been considering what to do with my old Reddit account. I haven’t deleted it yet because I feel like it could still be of some use (and I kind of want to go through there and save some memes I’ve posted and stuff). I have thousands of comments/posts on there. It would be incredibly time consuming to edit every single one. Is it worth it to take the time to actually do that?
I really hate the idea of that dickhead profiting off of content I created and I’d like to take a more proactive approach to this whole thing. Plus, I’m curious as to what the impact/reaction would be - if any.
