    He’s completely right, except that tech giants include reddit itself…

    Personal data is ours alone. If someone wants to sell it then so be it, but we own it not anyone else.

    They have been running a top 10 website without any idea how to make money off it now they are killing it trying to squeeze profit out of it so these psychopaths can have a wallstreet pay day. I spent 15 years providing content to the site bcz I loved it. I signed up so long ago I don’t even remember the agreement I made with then upon sign up. Fuck em.
