Apparently the Reddit AMA with Steve Huffman went about as well as it could go off the rails. (techcrunch.com)

After seeing the responses, I realized Reddit is a lost cause and deleted my account of 11 years. My "exit interview" answers were... salty.

It's unfortunate you went about it the way you did since they can still monetize off of the entirety of your comment and post history. When you delete your account, all your comments and posts remain. They're just no longer attached to your account name since that is what you deleted.

I was a bit more malicious and did the opposite by keeping my account intact, but gutting everything from within. So now every thread I ever commented in has "user deleted comment" sprinkled all throughout hundreds or thousands of threads.

My account is now a fine metaphor for what reddit has become. Just a hollow facade of what it once was.

I deleted all my posts before I left :) I couldn't be arsed to do it for comments, though.
