It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him

But that's not the point. I'm not saying I'm super important, but I believe I have helped several people with technical or academic questions on Reddit before, and anyone looking that up could access my comments and they might help other people in the future.

I don't hate Reddit as a corporation enough to erase what might be useful to someone else in the future, and they can profit off of it if they want, since I didn't make those comments with my profit in mind anyway.

I understand wanting to erase your data from Reddit, and I realize it's also a responsible decision, but I personally don't like the idea of wiping clean one of the greatest hubs of information in the entire internet, even if I disagree with their corporate practices.
