In this post, I argue that Reddit should begin to pay people for their contributions to the platform, or barring that, people should leave Reddit and share their writing in different ways.

Members didn't join Reddit with any expectations of compensation. If you want money for content, try and put up a paywall, charge people for it, etc. If you don't like what you write being in the public domain, don't write in public on someone else's computer. It's that simple.

I've chosen to leave. Reddit is really not what it used to be, and I don't feel like helping rich assholes get richer for nothing in return.

When the subreddits come back from their current protest, I will run one of the account scrub and deletion tools. I saw reports that the scripts don't overwrite comments in subs set to private.

Personally, I prefer not to salt the earth, as I was one of the people trying to help build up a corpus of good quality knowledge. Still, I suppose we can remake a lot of it on open platforms.

I would instead prefer to backup my posts, so you can at least repost them as you like.
