I’ve always meant to do this, but after hearing about the AI thing I want to get it done. Is there no free solution? I have too much history to clear manually.

EDIT: PowerDeleteSuite did the trick, thanks!

    If I overwrite or delete the comments, other users won’t see them. So I won’t be feeding reddit ad traffic with all the content I created for them.

    Perhaps they will decide unedit and undelete my comments, and sure I won’t be able to do anything about that. But I want to at the very least make them put in that effort, if not successfully remove my comments from view.

      If I was a Reddit admin and wanted to highlight the more interesting posts/comments on a private backend, one of the strategies I’d use is to highlight every deleted post and especially highlight any edited post where the edit doesn’t include most of the original comment. It would just be a part of the delete/edit procedure on the SQL server, which means it can even be transparent to most of the devs if the stored procedure code isn’t visible.

        I can’t believe they’re only charging $60m for this. The content of all the reddit discussions ever is worth so much more money.
