I had an 11 year old account that I deleted all my old comments and posts from because of the API debacle. Does that make me selfish that I felt like Reddit wasn’t holding up its end of the unwritten agreement?

Boot licker.
At the time? It was spelled out in their announcement 10 months ago.
That spells out what they were doing. It doesn’t explain why they were doing it.
