Well now I'm glad I deleted my entire history as well as my account. FUCK THAT. I haven't been on FB, Twitter or any of that other data grubbing bullshit in years.

I might need to address a GDPR delete request.

I also deleted my history, 13 years, thousands of comments. I used Redact, it took a couple of retries and logout/login but in the end, it worked.

Jesus Christ Reddit just announce an sdk or that you're working on a way to get ads in third party apps. That would solve everything.

"You aren't the client, you are the product." Redditors are basically just cattle, just like every other for profit social media platform.

Ugh.... That marketing language makes me cringe hard.

Yeah. It's about as marketing rich, research driven of drivel as it comes. Just... Ugh.

What is the seven hells is a "2H activation"?

I can't tell if marketing jargon means something or if they've had to invent a whole new language to avoid noticing that almost everything they do is bad for the people they do it to.
