      It won’t really matter to delete your account. Google will have your info from older backups to feed into the machine.

      People have made scripts to edit all your comments. If you set it to edit each with nonsense jabbering it might screw with their algorithm, or if you’re a big enough data fish they may filter your name out of it so it doesn’t taint the ai. Of course if you’re a really big fish they may bother to just use your data from before edits and then blacklist your name from future scraping.

        Yup. You know they have a backup from before the API announcements when things were still going strong and no one even thought about deleting or messing with their comments.

        They will have all the edit history as well. It will be trivial to have an LLM comb through it and flag the nonsense edits.

      I got soft locked a long time ago and was limited to lurk on the appolo app, that was my first step away from that place.

      If i wanted to delete id have to recover it first…
