You are polluting the data set. Do it a few times with different text sources and the scrubbers won’t know what part of your comment history is good. Replace, don’t delete.
Not in a meaningful way. It’s easy to detect and revert a change like this. Instead of bulk changing all your comments, you should slowly change them over time.
Even then, users don’t usually edit most of their comments. Sure Reddit might be naive and just take the current comments, but it’s pretty trivial to reverse this kind of thing.
Probably good to do it to make this process harder and more error prone for Reddit but I would not be under the impression that this has an impact beyond being annoying.
It’s already happened last year during the reddit exodus. The AI models either validate the data or not. This has a chance of working, which is better than doing nothing at all.
Ok but Reddit absolutely saves the old comments though

Or it’ll help train the AI to recognize when that happens and more easily parse history for the relevant stuff.
