Reddit has backups, so for AI training purposes I'm sure they can restore all the posts of everyone mass editing/deleting this month.

Yeah it's like driving by a house and sticking my middle finger out the car window at them and then never coming back.

It was only a moment, it will never be seen by anyone it was intended for, but it felt good for me.

Its people not used to thinking about backups on databases etc or that they can't be used. They can probably stand up a database instance preannoncement with an api infront of it for ai training. Hell probably even offer it as extra monetary option. We will sell you what preannouncement looks like, then you can use the access you pay us for currently to compare how people react against a negative action by a company.

*edit - it does impact people that would use like web scrapers vs api and also possibly google search results, so it probably does do something, just not necessarily the impact everyone might have when doing the mass deletes.

I don't think this kind of stuff is legal in Europe
