Your user profile on reddit may not show any comments anymore but that doesn’t mean they’re all gone. If you want to purge your content, use the search engine of your preference to look for your username. I just spent four hours manually deleting a bunch of stuff that didn’t show up on my profile and that any automated solutions were unable to find during the last few weeks (not just because of blackouts). I’d be surprised if I won’t have to do this several times more.
Also, if you’re using Qwant, remember to go through all the languages.
Googling my username I discovered i was quoted in a PCgamer article. Nice of em to let me know…I guess?
Sadly those impertinent moochers never ever ask for permission or bother to even tell the people they stole content from. I only ever realized that it happened when regular reddittors congratulated me for being featured on websites that I didn’t even know existed.
It happened so often with my submissions that I eventually even openly told all so-called “gaming journalists” to f[$%&] off in my user profile as a preemptive measure.
