This hurts users actually trying to find help more than it hurts reddit.
You want reddit to die just stop engaging with it. Archiving old info isn't a profitable platform because new stuff drives engagement.
Being active elsewhere is what will kill reddit.
Oh, it hurts reddit in the sense people looking for help will stop thinking of Reddit as the place to find it.
It’s going to piss off users and people trying to find Reddit info via Google. It will actively do the opposite of encouraging users to switch to Lemmy or something else because they won’t want to migrate over to a den of assholes. Just delete the comments.
The biggest issue though is that you’ll give Reddit an excuse to revert your comments. Unless you’re in Europe, it’s their data not yours. Reverting deleted comments makes them look bad to existing users, reverting or wiping out cesspool comments will give them actual justification.
