    A very very very heartily disagree. Their entire business model now is selling that information, they aren’t going to get rid of it EVER.

      In the short term it goes as you say, they’re selling API access to the LLM bubble. (And they’re likely selling your data too, against your consent.)

      However in the long term the LLM bubble will explode, and users will disengage with the site, causing a downwards spiral. At some point of that spiral they’ll delete the data, after it’s unprofitable. I think.

        Reddit hosts hardly any content. It’s a link aggregator.

        All the text content, all votes, posts, comments, etc. probably only fill a few TB. The video and image hosting part is a bit later, but arguably not huge either. Given the salaries in the valley, just having a meeting with 10 people about deletion is probably more expensive than storage for the next 5 years.

          You know what, you guys are right. Nevermind on that point then.
