Reddit's cofounder Steve Huffman said in its early days he filled up most of the site with content using different accounts until it got more users.

Now the social media platform is aiming for an IPO in the first quarter of 2024 with a valuation of $15 billion, and has been in talks with potential investors like Goldman Sachs and and Morgan Stanley, per Bloomberg.

    I’ve read that some of that problem with the mass delete was that some tools for that were sending requests too fast and reddit supposedly sent back an error message within a “succes” HTML code. Someone did some tweaking of such a tool to make it react correctly to those messages and the mass deletion took 2-3 days when it was rate limited to what reddit would allow. Don’t know if that can help you now.
