In case you didn’t know, you can’t train an AI on content generated by another AI because it causes distortion that reduces the quality of the output. It is also very difficult to filter out AI text from human text in a database. This phenomenon is known as AI collapse.

So if you were to start using AI to generate comments and posts on Reddit, their database would be less useful for training AI and therefore the company wouldn’t be able to sell it for that purpose.

    Reddit keeps your content, even if you delete or edit it. We saw this during the last protest where they reverted peoples comments back to their previous state.

    The only exception is if you GDPR it.

      I remember that being a misunderstanding:

      1. As subs came back online, comments previously not visible came back too. In other words, comments on unavailable subs could not be deleted
      2. Rate limit on delete script

      Yea, but what about when they permaban someone? Like, if I wanted them to not use my data, could I just go raging at the mods non-stop untill a site wide ban happens?
