This is basically spamming, but with a time delay so the moderators won’t see it.
Worse, the data is already archived by the data collection services. The people who suffer are going to be average users trying to find some answer to a question by searching Reddit, only to discover jumbled messes of words that don’t make sense.

I already notice this just with the blackout. Some stuff I find on Google is in private subs now, so I can't view it on Reddit. Sure, there might be ways around it, but regular people won't know that.
Every niche technical issue I've googled this week has at least one privated subreddit link now. As much as it sucks we needed a wake up call yet again. No one learned when forums would vanish with vast amounts of information.
