Are there any comment shredding utilities that still work after the API apocalypse? I'm an American, so I can only look at you GDPR-havers in jealousy.

Use a VPN to exit from an Irish proxy and make the report in Ireland.

Any based users in general, really

I see no difference between most big tech companies and Reddit in terms of selling user data. Reddit is just being more forthcoming with it instead of allowing users to figure it out eventually.

A Reddit account a lot of years ago, no relevant occassional posts, made with other PC from other city, no personal data. I don't think I'm going to bother connecting again to search and delete the few posts from then, the remedy would be worse than the problem.
