    If you did it over the API debacle then you’re not one of the people I’m talking about here. This is about people deleting their content to prevent it from being used to train AIs.

      Do you not remember the real reason why the API debacle happened in the first place was to prepare for this moment? It was always about easy access to training data, third party apps got caught in the crossfire.
