I get that, but Reddit will be (and has already been) monetizing the content you created. They will also be selling the content to LLMs (large language models) to train AI models. So while I agree you are doing a disservice to people looking for useful content, you are also allowing Reddit / spez etc to monetize your content while giving a big finger to mods, volunteers, communities and 3rd party app developers.
