Content mostly didn't change, but the value of Reddit tanked, I often encounter links to Reddit that are now deleted, and I'm also nowadays deleting my old (2 weeks) comments and posts.
Won't this just exacerbate the "I often encounter links to Reddit that are now deleted" problem?
But why?
Removing your posts only annoys and inconveniences actual people by breaking threads, convos and destroying the context. It does zilch to Reddit as a corporation.
No need to be an ass towards fellow users, it's not their fault Reddit now rubs you the wrong way. Either don't post at all or leave it be.
It would only work if there would be another alternative for those users to go to. Currently there hasn't been a popular move from reddit to somewhere else. So no, you're just annoying users but without harming reddit.
Such a terrible take. You're not hurting Reddit's bottom line with this, you're hurting the users looking for answers.
