For anyone looking for a good way to clear their reddit history before the company goes public, Redact will let you edit your comment then delete it, preventing it from being resurrected when you delete your account. https://redact.dev/

I just deleted one of my Reddit account's since it clearly knew too much about me. I was getting invasive ads that I wasn't receiving on my other account. I don't think Reddit has too much value here, the more ads you push the less people will use it and they aren't revenue positive.

I think this is an odd comment considering not even a week ago you posted "I'm hoping when I hit 80( mid 30s now), I'll be able to have my brain hooked up to the matrix or something. Would be awesome to effectively "live" for 500 years with options to pilot androids every now and then."

You want your brain connected directly to, effectively, the FaceBook MetaVerse/Googleverse but are afraid of Reddit knowing enough about you to show you adverts. See also: Tom Scott, "Life, the singularity ruined by lawyers": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFe9wiDfb0E (3 minute video).

That was actually a cool video.

I still want to "retire" to the matrix, but I don't feel like giving Reddit all my personal information.

And to be completely honest, I sort of want to just cut back down on my Reddit usage.

I've not seen anything to convince me that participating in this is a wise financial decision. My guess is that the stock falls below initial price within the first week.
