$60mm a year seems really cheap, no? I know its shit data from the bot posters but still would think it would be like $100-150mm

Is the data access exclusive for that one company? If not then it’s no miracle they’re opting for a subscription-based model lol

I did that before they went through with their api bullshit, I’m so happy, it was fully automated. Just typed in the replacement massege and that’s it

Most tools miss a ton bc of the limitations of the website and api. The best, pretty much only, way to get everything is to get an export of your data, then use that csv to delete all items one by one

Yup, shreddit has the ability to use the csv from the data request. Took me about 24 hours to edit and erase the 20.000+ comments I made over the last 10 years.

Good. Get a good taste your own medicine.

It’s time how people in the US felt foreign entities meddling with their elections for a change, huh?

It’s been happening for the better part of a decade though. And started probably much earlier than that, just not as blatant.
