That was the sole reason why I deleted my account. I know it was too late, and there's a backup out there of everything I posted, but having the stories I wrote and the jokes I told and the essence of the communities I posted in completely devalued and turned into a quick buck broke my heart.

That was despicable.

Looking back, I would have paid $5/month to own my posts and keep reddit what it was, but we never even got the option.
