Reddit is still pretty useful, but it will become less and less relevant as contributors leave, just like StackOverflow did. Side note: are contributors actually leaving Reddit? People keep saying that's happening, but I don't really see it...maybe it's very slow? Might depend heavily on the subreddit too.
I don't have numbers, but I did. Took Redact 9 hours to overwrite & delete the 17,000 comments on my 17-year-old account. But watching them scroll by, most weren't really worth keeping. I saw several 15+ year-old active accounts do the same before I left.
Wait, how can it find all your past comments? I thought Reddit only have you a list of the most recent 1000 or something like that?
Through the API - well, it was through the API before they changed it. No idea if that's possible now.
