The person you're replying to didn't say they aren't allowed to, they asked them to please not because the comment might be useful to others.

Useful to others because they search reddit is fine (even though I disagree with Reddit's app policy). Useful to OpenAI to train ChatGPT and dispense as wisdom people pay for?

I can totally respect someone trimming all their online footprint to avoid that.

I'm making a tangential statement only somewhat related to the comment above it. Personally I don't like that sites like Reddit claim ownership of and make profit from user generated content. I think people should delete their comments and move to a more open and free platform.

>Reddit claim ownership

Should be mentioned the rights are retained by the user. Reddit only gets license to reproduce that content and allow others to do the same. Although also being perpetual, irrevocable, it's similar to ownership cannot say they're the same thing.

The user should be free to move and delete anything

The problem is while the user is moving the comments are not, only deleted

Which will probably damage another user more than hurt reddit

Besides the user might delete things that would be interest read years later
