That literally means nothing at all on their server backup from the year before. You could delete and rewrite your comments a thousand times and it would do you the same amount as good as one time, and barely any better than doing it no times at all. Your entire 15 year comment history would take up probably 10MB of space at best. They'll have several back ups taken over the last decade. They aren't just going to be selling off the live servers info.

Yeah.....all that comment data isn't really that large. They'll have backups captured for likely several years back. All you can view is the info on the current live servers. You might have kept them from getting like 3 months worth of your comments at best.
It won't really matter to delete your account. Google will have your info from older backups to feed into the machine.
People have made scripts to edit all your comments. If you set it to edit each with nonsense jabbering it might screw with their algorithm, or if you're a big enough data fish they may filter your name out of it so it doesn't taint the ai. Of course if you're a really big fish they may bother to just use your data from before edits and then blacklist your name from future scraping.
Ok. Kudos to you if you find a 16 year old kid that has a good color printer, photoshops out all the reflective portions of an ID, finds and purchases illegally sold transparent reflective stickers that matches up to the ones specifically to his state, and takes a picture of it so he can go back to doomscrolling tiktok vids.
You don't understand that there's not a shiny reflective ink option in your printer?
As now countlessly proven by all the lawsuits or potential lawsuits abound, it's still pretty easy to show what ai models were trained on. It's the entire reason a company is paying reddit for the data instead of scraping it in various ways (ways that were easier before reddit closed off their api). Maybe in a few years time they'll have it worked out to where there's no way to pick up on where an ai scraped it's data from, but they aren't there yet.
You know that shiny reflective bit on your ID? That part shows up through a camera very differently than on a printed piece of paper.
Unless they're leasing the information every year, which would essentially make their ai dependent on the data, but that data is probably the best source to use on the internet. Also, without continuously using the most current comments and posts, the ai model won't be able to give any info about current events topics and such.
But they couldn't pass the scan check that shows it was a picture taken of a physical ID card, and not a digitized copy, screen grab, or picture of an ID on another phone or computer screen.
Yeah, but I think I have over 20,000 comments on reddit. Editing and deleting would take me at least over 15 minutes....
The exchange is you getting to be on reddit.
