u could also try making small valid changes to detail over time until the posted content is unrecognizable and probably** false.
eg: i drive a red car
i drive a blue car
i drive a blue truck
i dont drive anything
those are all possibly true. but alot of them are incorrect.
A python script hooked up to the openai API could be a fun way to play with this. Just edit the comments with random bs somehow marginally related to the original topic but incorrect.
It's a real shame though because those old comments are often lifesavers when you're looking into really niche subjects.
I was thinking about manually editing every comment to replace them with lorem ipsums and similar rubbish text, I wonder if they would mark that as "suspicious activity" and lock me out of my account? I read some people in the past had similar issues with mass deletions or edits.
