A screenshot, taken way before rexxit, of two comments on reddit, dated “1 year ago”.

The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: “That solved it. Thanks!”

Edit: added temporal context.

    That’s the intention of users deleting their staffs: making reddit less useful, and therefore, shrink its traffic.

    That’s the downside of having a website completely runned by the community and volunteer moderators. You mess with them, you lose half of their contents. 🤣

      Answers to tech problems aren’t what drive reddits profits. They make way more in daily posts and memes. Deleting helpful comments hurts users way more than reddit.
