Now the social media platform is aiming for an IPO in the first quarter of 2024 with a valuation of $15 billion, and has been in talks with potential investors like Goldman Sachs and and Morgan Stanley, per Bloomberg.
I feel like Greedy Pigboy and Reddit Inc. as a whole deserve to be punished, for all that “my precious data! No, it is not the users’, IT IS MINE! MY PRECIOUS!” fiasco. Enshittification will happen either way.
Exactly. Reddit has been building this huge knowledge base for well over a decade. Built by the users themselves. He knows what he’s got.

No he doesn’t.
They unlocked old comment editing some time ago, you can now edit comments even in “archived” posts. If you get a GDPR export, then you can “fix” the content of, let’s say, 30k comments spanning over a decade. There are some helpful tools on GitHub… but you may want to do it before he actually realizes and they lock you out.
People did that, and they restored the posts…
