If someone is against how a website operates, why would they continue to freely contribute things that would give profits to that website? People found out random specific information before reddit, and people will still be able to find that information after reddit.

Personally, I look at it as I'm grateful that people freely share such information in the first place. When information is this available to find (we have almost the entire internet's worth of resources), I'm not going to complain that I can't find it on one website.

Having attitudes like the one in this post can discourage people from sharing these things in the first place. No one wants to feel obligated to change their personal accounts to suit the liking of complete strangers, especially after they're ready to move on. No one will want to be helpful if it just leads to complaints and grievances. Life's just too short to deal with that noise, frankly.

Some of these posts are almost implying that an individual person providing valuable information for free for multiple years isn't enough anymore. It implies that your own morals and wants don't matter anymore, if someone else has to look a little longer to find something.

I'm sorry, I'm just sick of all the complaining and the expectations being placed on complete strangers to likely go against their own morals. Just use other websites, or create your own community. No one is beholden to go against their own morals just because it makes searching easier. That is not a great thing to expect of others.

You don't see the problem here... I'm sorry, I just can't see a common ground on which we can discuss this problem.

And I have shared info for free as well, wheter it be reddit or some other place, doesn't matter... and I will continue to do it... and it will never ever occur to me to delete said data from any site or social media, forum, whatever. Data and info is just too valuable IMO and not you or me has the right to remove it once it's been shared. That's my stand on things. Most people won't agree with this, but this is my reasoning.
