A curated set of links, rated, sorted, filtered, and discussion. That’s the content you want and are having a tantrum about not having free access to.

You are free though to access the referenced content on your own if you can find out about it on your own.

Who curated them, rated them, sorted them, filtered them, and discussed them?

Not Reddit. They're just the landlord here.

And the landlords still have costs. It is not free to run a platform. They have to pay for it in one way or an other. Time of free beer have come to end.

People here should understand this more than anyone else. It is one thing to have site as hobby, but something with number of users is expensive to run.

Yes and you rent the infrastructure needed to facilitate all those processes for millions of users.

You’re free to setup your own, or rent somewhere else. Regardless it costs money.

You forgot the most important part. Who actually created the content?

I like that they went back and edited their comment to change that wording.

Of course, given the edit, one must wonder who's data they think it is given who they're collecting it from...

If it is the company’s content, it’s the company’s moderation and I know a lot of folks ready for due and past due compensation.

If anyone else is interested in leaving Reddit I made a browser extension you can use to batch delete your Reddit posts and comments: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bulk-delete-reddit...

Let me know how it works for you if you try it! Still fixing bugs.
