Excerpt:
In our last email to them, we stated that we wanted $4.5 million in exchange for the deletion of the data and our silence. As we also stated, if we had to make this public, then we now demand that they also withdraw their API pricing changes along with our money or we will leak it.
We expect to leak the data.

The article doesn’t say, but if I had to take a guess, it’s either
- internal data from the company - exposing a few skeletons in the closet
- user data - showing that Reddit is unable to protect its own users.
Either should cause quite a bit of damage to Reddit, in addition to the protests.
