Obviously Reddit isn't averse to bots scraping the site for data, just ones that aren't paying them. I'm regretting not going through and systematically deleting all my posts and comments before deleting my account, but I thought that happened automatically.
I don't regret not deleting all my comments. For me, It's a mishmash of helpful/comedic/observational comments that I don't care that they have sold off for use as training data.
But, I just got shadowbanned, because of my VPN or something, so they aren't getting any more!
