    The problem is other people can’t find that data.

    If Reddit doesn’t back down, I will likelky be shutting down my subreddit. But I’ll put it in read-only mode rather than killing it entirely, because there is useful information there and I don’t want to contribute to link rot.

      Doesn’t Reddit deserve link rot at this point? And contrariwise, does Reddit deserve to capitalize on your work and the work of the members of your subreddit?

      I wonder what your members might say if you put it to them?

        Reddit does, but my fellow netizens do not. I’ve experienced way too much frustration running into dead links and deleted posts when hunting down old obscure information to willingly put that burden on others.
