    You can’t really delete anything from reddit, there’s an archive of everything

          Massive backups are both costly to maintain and also costly to run in general. I work on an enterprise system with hundreds of machines and we have a whole separate DR environment that does nothing but backups for hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.

            I am a datacenter admin as well.

            Believe me reddit is backing up everything as they always intended to sell everyone’s data.
