A screenshot of two comments on reddit.

The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: “That solved it. Thanks!”

    Man on one hand that would feel cathartic as fuck, and who would mind a bit of extra money, but I don’t think I can bring myself to do that.

    I still feel a bit ambivalent about deleting comments in general, like yes it hurts the company, but it also hurts innocent users just looking for answers.

      I looked up account buyers once. They really do hand out cash money for established Reddit accounts. They have these huge never ending lists of accounts for sale with details like how old it is, if it comes with activity in certain subs. All with prices right on them.

      Makes me wish I still had my og account from 11 years ago.
