Beware the export function is flaky, and it’s already deleted everything by the time you get to it. Copying the export link href (a huge data:// url) from developer tools seems to be the best bet

If running this again I’d rather use something else to export first

Call me cynical but I’m surprised how widespread the opinion is that Reddit is on a death spiral. It might end up being another Digg but I can’t help but feel like this is going to be a blip and that Reddit will by and large continue just fine.

If anything I think this is the moment that Reddit finally separates from the “geeky” crowd that originally birthed it (I remember the days when Reddit was the nerdier alternative to Digg!) I don’t think that community has been the lifeblood of Reddit for a long time, though.

I guess this is on the frontpage because some people, in reaction to Reddit monetizing their content and ruining their experience, would prefer to burn it all down and delete all their history as a protest.

I get the wrath.

I don't get the action.

I have 15 years of history on reddit. Half of my life. It's a journal, a testament to my growth as a person. I've said brilliant things, I've said heinous ones. I see some things I'm proud of, and some I regret.

If it all goes to ashes, that's fine. The internet isn't permanent, and I lost far more on various defunct web forums from my time as a teenager. But I won't be the one to light the fire.

I didn't put those things on the internet to get rich, and if Reddit Inc. thinks they can get rich from me, that doesn't take anything away from me. They don't owe me anything, and I don't owe them anything either.

Fires start with a spark.

If you haven't paid attention maybe. But people have been pissed for years.

Who knows but i already deleted all my accounts and delete the comments earlier this year. The site is only good for finding reviews on products but companies figured that out and game it now as well.

I hope reddit dies if for no other reason than the less social media the better
