I've seen an increasing amount of support for 'nuking' your personal reddit history—posts and comments—in protest of the upcoming changes, taking back what Reddit are profiting from. I'm hugely in favour of it, anyone else considering it?

How do you know? I would definitely not come back after getting screwed like this.
He makes money from Apollo. Unless he has another job lined up, or a sizeable savings, he would probably enjoy his income staying as it is.

All rights reserved feels more the right kick to me Gives those who wish to learn and stops from anything taking the future glory.
Agree, would be awful if Reddit themselves just decide to lift and reuse this!

It's more than likely that they'll inject their own softball questions and focus on those instead of addressing everyone's concerns in any meaningful way.
When they removed the upvote/downvote count, it was clear reddit was fine with manipulation. Anything I read on the website has been met with extreme skepticism since it very well could be an astroturfer. It's money. Reddit wants astroturfers, it grows their platform and helps sell ads.
talking about manipulation, reddit's current ceo edited users comments back when the bad guys were on business side of it.

Hi all! I wrote this code, and for educational purposes, I’d be more than happy to answer any questions. A gentle reminder that the whole history is here for show. This is very vulnerable — you can see the times I was in a rush, or when I took my time. You’ll find my mistakes. Either way, all I ask is please be kind. I know there are 50 things I could have done better, but this is a product of the reality at the time…
I am waiting on delivery of an iPad pro, my first apple device in 10 years. And, even though I hate reddit, I was excited to check out Apollo, if for no other reason than to see what a great ios app looks like.
I know that reimplementing reddit API from scratch will take more than a few weeks. But, I'm sure loyal Apollo users will be happy with a much scaled-down version. Maybe, to begin with you put the app in Read Only mode, and point it to a reddit archive. Then work on making one sub read/write again and expand from there.
I mean, even just a good reddit archive browser has TONS of value. I'd happily pay a small sum for an awesome reddit archive explorer.

Why would Reddit add another backend layer?
I’m not saying they’ll do this or that it makes sense. But I’ve definitely done it in much smaller projects.
All this backlash is going to kill Reddit. It will take a thousand little cuts for sure, but it started the moment they announced their ludicrous pricing.
Just like it did Twitter.

Maybe so, but Reddit is not Twitter; API access is far more important for Reddit because its official client is garbage and can't handle the long-form content that Reddit is known for. This will have outsized implications for the 1% of users who actually post the content the other 99% come to see in a way that Twitter (and its 280-character comment limitation) does not.
> can't handle the long-form content that Reddit is known for. Isn’t Reddit widely known for memes by the public?
