Reposting as we might’ve mainly missed this a month back - not only will spammers block you so you don’t call them out again, but they’ll hide their comment histories so you have no real indication they’re not worth your time.

    A lot of the strength of Reddit was that it was indexed by the big search engines. Take that away and it stops being a destination for searches for useful information. Everything Reddit has done in the past few years to paywall the API and reduce transparency, is just ensuring it becomes another irrelevant echo chamber of "alternative facts".

    this shouldn't affect indexing. the posts and comments are hidden in user profiles, not the subs in which they're posted.

    so this is less about hiding your comments overall and more to hide your activity from being monitored by other users which is terrible because I like to take a look at a user's other comments before i assume ill or good will.

    I will be shocked if Reddit makes it past these next 3.5 years. Open traded company banning people for not agreeing with their agenda. Then points out how current administration is abusing their power. May want to fetch a mirror to look into with that much hypocrisy.
