For small subreddits that may work, but for the larger ones Reddit doesn't care, they won't let such technicalities get in the way of their revenue.

The only way to really "win" here is to abandon the platform en masse, and delete all your content before you walk out the door.

Just wait a little while, because reddit seems to be actively undeleting stuff right now.
