So you get value from the community, and leave a trail of confusing deleted comments for the others? What experience remains if everyone would do the same - Kant's "categorical imperative" would imply this is unethical.


I don't care about what someone else considers ethical. If I'm making Reddit worse it's all good with me


Do you consider it ethical?


Sure. Why should Reddit profit off of my content?


Reddit the company or Reddit the million of users like you?

You contribute to the view count and other engagement metrics while littering useless "[deleted]" comments, which do you think you are hurting?


If deleting my comments makes reddit painful to use then it hurts reddit in the end... But it seems to be affecting you on a personal level so I'll start doing it more now


As long as you are honest your goal is hurting people, I can understand your move.
