    i personally think the value of the comments are worth leaving for people to find later even if Reddit does use them in an underhanded way.
    i recognize this may not be popular.

      Yup. Reddit gives zero fucks about any form or protest or the degredation of the quality of content. They already have the metric the traffic originally created.

      The only people negatively impacted are the people trying to find information that are pushed there by search engines when trying to find stuff.

      As someone else brilliantly pointed out, leaving the comments hurts Reddit more than delete/edit.

      Deleting/editing comments only hides the posts from the public. Reddit has the original posts, is ignoring all edits made to posts, and selling that original data.
