Two key things to think about before pulling the plug:
Edit or delete your comment history. Spez confirmed in the AMA today that the turnaround on API pricing came when they realised how badly the AI bros need good content for their models and how much they would be willing to pay.
Consider selling your account. Old accounts with lots of karma can sell for a decent amount of cash. There are a few specific sites, or good old eBay if you’re cautious. If Reddit don’t care about how much harder it will be for mods to do their jobs in future, neither should we.
Haha, I saw someone suggest it today which came just in time for me.
I’m now going to start the editing side off tomorrow and then think about the selling side. I’m probably not going to hard delete my account either way as my experience with Twitter means I know that dead does mean dead to me (6 months clean!)

Too true, I sold mine last year with under 100k karma for $250.
