    They sell your data and don’t feel bad. Why should you feel bad about selling your data?

    I’ve been thinking about that, I could potentially get a few hundred dollars.

    I don’t feel like I owe reddit anything, but those accounts are bought for scamming and political influencing and spreading misinformation.

    I don’t want to be part of that. So I’m not selling my accounts.

    I wonder who would buy mine? I made a hobby out of getting banned in the most subreddits possible.

    Personally I’d prefer not to have someone speaking for me, despite the supposed anonymity of the accounts. If you post any amount of content, it’s likely the account can be linked back to you after the sale, which could prove problematic depending on what the new owner does with it.

    But I’m a bit paranoid about such things after experiencing internet stalking. I don’t see anything morally wrong with it, just that consequences from the sale might affect me negatively in the future.
