Yes I did the same. I used redact on my 14 year old account and edited all my comments and posts saying “removed due to Reddit’s new api policy”

Wow that’s really interesting but not surprising.
It may not “end” Reddit but I do think this will end Reddit as we know it. It will just be a shell of itself just like Facebook is no longer a place for college friends to connect and share photos.
Just deleted my 14 year old account. Just a tip with redact when deleted you can edit all your comments and posts to say something. I entered "Deleted due to reddit's API policy".
I have been on reddit long enough to remember the migration from Digg to Reddit. Same thing, lots of "Hi from Digg posts" I see a lot of similarities to that migration.
Really impressed with the reporting from the verge on the Reddit protest and beyond.
