It’s too late. Hopefully Reddit dies.

I see where you're coming from but I hope Reddit doesn't die. Yes this situation sucks, but there's a lot of valuable information on Reddit after years of indexing everyone and anyone's questions. Killing Reddit is akin to burning down the library of Alexandria (Not nearly as sever, but I'm sure you get the picture.)
At least before Reddit dies, I hope we find a way to archive all of that user data.
Idk, the pure volume of content could outweigh the library of Alexandra and Bagdad. Its not just memes, but every from text support, ask historians and pure input from people.
I think there should be archives available until march: https://archive.org/details/pushshift-reddit-2023-03/
Data hoarder, let's go! No one knows how long, till Reddit sues archive org using DMCA
