I mean, I did too. But you can see why Reddit is grouchy about that. I mean, I have written a lot of content and posted it to Reddit, and maybe that has value that they can monetize. Or maybe there’s some value that they can get from data-mining my activity on the server side. But they haven’t been making money off my eyeballs directly, or data-mining information available on the client side, and I imagine that that’s frustrating when they go crunch the numbers on their costs and revenue.
Probably, but if you monetize “my data” (by tracking everything I do + the content I put on your site) you won’t get any ad revenue from me (I use old.reddit + ublock origin too).
If you don’t and you give me a service that’s valuable to me then I’m willing to pay (I pay for protonmail for example).
