    Your ad blockers and “not logged in” protections aren’t actually protections. You’re still tracked on VPN and icognito. Sure now it’s not necessarily your account (although they can make good guesses), but to them it’s someone. Every month youre making it on charts of “real active user data”, helping reddit continue to look profitable as a business. They’ll likely be able to hold on a bit longer and get funding until adblockers go away.

    Just visiting reddit isn’t in my list though, it doesn’t help reddit that much. Either way I don’t see why I should leave my helpful content up for others to view. I don’t get to pick to show my post only to adblock people, so OP definitely has an impact deleting them.

    Personally it brings me joy to see that you’re falling on empty posts from top google searches, and hope you find many more in the future. You’re just saying that you prefer to give money to Reddit if it’s convenient for you.

    That’s the entire point of leaving reddit with our 10+ years of contribution; leaving reddit wasn’t convenient for me, I’m not gonna help it be convenient for you. Get rekt spez.

    You’re saying there is no point, and the comment below agrees with you, because the only point is that it removes threads and that’s getting old.

    No it’s not getting old, that’s the entire point of deleting posts. Reddit should not get post traffic through google for something I did, and I can take that away. Me alone won’t have a big impact, but if we all do it Reddit will have more struggles.

    In order of efficacy:

    • Don’t post to Reddit: this is what reddit needs to keep going. Reddit doesn’t produce anything.

    • If you have popular posts people come back to (like help communities) delete them, this still drives traffic and app downloads for reddit.

    • Commenting/upvoting/downvoting on posts drives engagement. If you have to visit reddit, don’t click on votes and don’t comment.

    A reminder that reddit is still struggling to IPO and sell off, in large part due to the.exodus.
