    Reddit isn’t selling access to the public comments; it’s selling database access to all comments, previous edits, deleted ones, currently public ones etc.

        They have the edit history. All you’re really doing is posting a big old flagpole on your comments that says “this account was previously run by a real human being” because bots wouldn’t have a reason to edit comments in protest. No matter what you protest-edit to you’re only making their job easier. The most effective way to “stick it” to reddit these days is to not interact with it whatsoever.
