    Disagree. The frustration caused to individuals looking for an answer far outweighs the utterly inconsequential reduction in Reddit’s “value” by removing the comment. Burning your Reddit history is performative nonsense that only causes problems for frustrated individuals.

      It is nothing more than performative because reddit still has the comments. Deleting them does nothing but make them not user facing anymore.

        They probably weren’t looking for the answer on reddit specifically. Back when google worked properly you could just search for your question and often a relevant reddit thread would be high up on the list of results.

        I don’t even understand why a pedophile is allowed to run reddit… (And another one runs the country.) How did everything get so fucked up? Nobody has morals anymore, nobody gets upset anymore! We just accept our reality and then carry on. Where is the testosterone-fueled anger?

          Are you basing the pedo comment on him supposedly being a mod of the jailbait sub? As far as I’m aware that was when a mod could elevate any user account to mod status without needing them to confirm. Someone made his account a mod as a joke. An account that was probably run by a pr team.

          I’m not suggesting he’s a great guy or anything, but calling people a pedo because you don’t like them has Elon Musk vibes.
