I keep reading that former users of reddit are scrubbing their old accounts out of spite. So I wanted to know- What is it? Why are people doing it? Does it actually hurt reddit? What are some good bots that will do it for you?

Scorched Earth. Reddit’s entire value as a website was built off of the creative output of its users. If I’m leaving the site, they’re no longer entitled to my creative output. Sure, me writing “This” or “Did Nazi that coming” isn’t particularly creative, but it was still MY writing. Did I lose ownership of my words after I wrote them? If I’m picking up and moving on, I’m taking my content with me.
