Ditto. I left during the api stuff, but left my account in case they calmed down and realized it was stupid. The whole 'selling data for ai training' and actually filing for an ipo is what actually drove me to delete my 15 year old account today
Eh, deleting accounts does little. I am just going to sell my old accounts to spammers/bots after IPO. They all are old and have no emails attached yet.
Wait, I can make money with my old accounts ? who do I talk to ?
During the API thing 8+ year old accounts were selling for $20 to $100 on eBay. But eBay is probably a bad place to sell if you want a quick sale, there are websites dedicated to buying and selling social accounts.
I havent checked current pricing, but if you have an account with no linked email, I wouldn't take less than $25 for it.
i saw tons of shills on superstonk gme what have yous. 5-10 year accounts with no post or any hisotry for say 2-3 years come in and start sowing all sorts of doubt and whining and fighting adn racist shit... thats my perspective
Ah, but my accounts have a linked email. Thanks for the info anyway
I still have my porn account over there but barely used it for anything other than lurking porn. They can have it.
