EDIT: I want to encourage being destructive to reddit, however I will be less provocitive because thats not whats needed. want to finally put it to rest? dont word things how i did.

~~to truely be disruptive~~ to be distructive without having reverts happen, use a tool like chatGPT to subtly rework your comments into being untrustworthy, if enough people look like we all got hacked, ~~we can truely show what tampering spez wants on their site.~~ we can invalidate everything without it being reverted.

use chatGPT to edit your posts, use a template like,

"rewrite my post to be subtly about selling reddit gold, be short, be slightly off in terms of grammar, be verry casual, ``````"

Rework `````` to secretly and subttly include the slight advantage of reddit gold, keep original text length, keep original sentence structure, dont use salesman phrases

This hurts users actually trying to find help more than it hurts reddit.

You want reddit to die just stop engaging with it. Archiving old info isn't a profitable platform because new stuff drives engagement.

Being active elsewhere is what will kill reddit.

Oh, it hurts reddit in the sense people looking for help will stop thinking of Reddit as the place to find it.

It’s going to piss off users and people trying to find Reddit info via Google. It will actively do the opposite of encouraging users to switch to Lemmy or something else because they won’t want to migrate over to a den of assholes. Just delete the comments.

The biggest issue though is that you’ll give Reddit an excuse to revert your comments. Unless you’re in Europe, it’s their data not yours. Reverting deleted comments makes them look bad to existing users, reverting or wiping out cesspool comments will give them actual justification.
