It is important to note that although this may be a result of Reddit’s UI not displaying the content users posted to now-private subreddits, it remains a problem. Additionally, I agree with the author’s comments in the video description, as it appears strategically unrealistic for Reddit to ask that users manually delete the content themselves.
This is particularly true when considering that many automated methods to accomplish this task will be hindered by Reddit’s upcoming API pricing changes. Furthermore, Reddit has demonstrated a recurring pattern of rolling back databases using historical backups, thereby disregarding user deletion requests that were submitted prior to the database rollback.
See similar discussion of this video on Hacker News:
I don’t know about deletions, but I requested my data for takeout more than two weeks ago and I still haven’t received it.
Same. I’m in California so I did a CCPA request, according to what I read they have 45 days to comply, which can be extended to 90 with notice. I definitely plan on filing a complaint if they don’t comply.
Thank you for the link, I did the same on all of my accounts. I’ll be filing a complaint for each one
ifwhen they don’t comply.Same
I also requested perhaps a bit more than two weeks ago and got it a couple days ago.
Used https://github.com/xavdid/reddit-user-to-sqlite/ to put it into a more structured form. I guess I should give Datasetts a try to easily browse it, the project’s README links to it.
ooh, that looks like a handy thing I’d like to store! I’m a bit worried I’ll have lost some of my saved links because I think I heard they only keep the most recent ~1000 or so.
Same.
