"Despite these concessions, dozens of Redditors promised to stop using the site altogether "

There are dozens of us!! Lol

Whatever. Don’t care. I left my account open but scrubbed twelve years of content, including hundreds (probably thousands) of answers to technical questions and dozens of posts (including guides) to which my reddit post was the only or one of the only search results.

If corporations want to profit from my knowledge, they can do so by exploiting the open source community, just like always.
