YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

    Makes me wish there was a way to force them to remove everything I ever posted on their site.

    But… It’s their site and I put the shit there. Who knew it would come to this, though?

        Word on the street is reddit just restores the comments and posts you mass delete. Haven’t tried myself so I’m not sure but that’s what I’ve been seeing around lemmy.

          I know there have been some programs that rewrite your comments with other content. This makes it so that Reddit can’t restore what you had there originally.

          Not in my experience, only a handful of comments were restored after 2 weeks in my account, just delete them manually and you’re good to go
