Ahoy hearties! Here what I be thinkin’. Reddit be chargin’ tens of millions of doubloons for third-mates to access the API, aye? They be claimin’ to deserve a share of the booty for providin’ trainin’ data for AI (and obviously to kill competition with third-mate apps to boot).
Methinks if yee MUST chatter with those landlubbers (such as for the purpose of recruitin’ new mates or cussing out mutinous scabs), then yee ought to make any text data yee provide unappealing and unusable to potential AI-training-customers.
Paintings of (Sexy) Captain John Oliver will only sully the attention of the human users. But (pirate) coded language mayhaps be an obstruction for bots? For those who find pirate speak to be too much effort, an alternative be to speak “sdrawkcaB”.
I can no longer cast my bottled messages to Reddit’s shore, so any of you seadogs are free to pass it along.
moreover, if machine learning is occurring on reddit now, it’d be absolutely hilarious if it developed a wee bit o’ the speech impediment.

Make your data unclassifiable.
Yarr, ye should also use homoglyph attacks, mayhaps with this confangled tool https://onlinetools.com/unicode/spoof-unicode-text
The scurvy dogs will have a mighty hard time parsing the heavy sea o’ randomized data obfuscation
Any way to integrate this with shreddit to replace and save comments instead of deleting?
Shouldn’t be too hard to implement https://github.com/picatz/homoglyphr in the shreddit code, I don’t know how it compares to the web tool I linked but it should be enough to make data cleaning a real pain in the arse for reddit
If ye find writin’ in Corsair speak too difficult, probably maybe also fer non native speakers, then ye can use online tools t’ convert yer text fer ye!
