And make sure not to click on any links. If enough people use chatgpt or other LLM’s to generate comments that are wordy but clearly just filler, it’ll give advertisers pause and tank the value of the site as training data. Reddit’s response will probably be to start banning users it thinks are doing this but normal users will absolutely be caught in the crossfire.
And throw in normal comments every so often too so it’s not that obvious.
I’d presume companies have scraped all the data on Reddit and packed it into a neat little package so editing old comments for that reason would be kind of moot. There was even a torrent of Reddit data afaik?
Getting rid of my old comments makes me feel better, even if it doesn’t make them feel worse. I hate feeling like I left anything of myself on a site where I am no longer welcome.
