girl typing a very specific question into google search bar, scrunching her face as she takes time to make sure she hasn't made any spelling errors, hitting enter, shaking her head as google only presents her with unhelpful websites that don't answer her query at all, moving her cursor back to the search bar and clicking on it so she can carefully write 'reddit' at the end, hitting enter again, sighing with relief as she finds a link to a reddit post asking the exact question she needed answered posted in a subreddit for a very niche topic, finally moving her cursor to click on the link, wondering why she didn't go straight to the subreddit earlier, only to be met with a deleted comment with a reply from the OP stating 'that was very helpful, thanks', sighing with frustration as she moves her cursor back to the search bar so she can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine,

Replace "reddit" with "reveddit" in any reddit url to reveal deleted or removed comments. If the comment/post was deleted too quickly after it was posted, it may not pull it up, but it works most of the time

unfortunately reddit has recently updated it's API stuff to prevent sites like reveddit from being able to show deleted comments/posts from after the update. the girl is going to have to try the wayback machine again :(

girl sitting at her desk in her dark room, reading reblogs by @okbae, @whatdoyoumeanitsnotawesome, @christinaseas, and @xoxoemynn on her post on tumblr dot com, realizing with a sinking heart that a vital tool beloved by internet users is now basically unusable.

girl CRYING AT COMPUTER OUT OF FRUSTRATION. Girl staring at computer screen with ANGER and MALICE towards Reddit for updating their API and therefore nuking the source of the information she seeks! GIRL SHAKING FIST AT SPEZ.

Girl also angry because the API changes mean that third party apps will become unusable, and these apps made up for areas where the official app fell short; redditors used them for their better accessibility and content moderation features, and also because they were much better than the official app in general...

...girl sighs.

girl clicks her browser's search bar yet again, typing "wayback machine" with care so she does not have to use her jammed backspace key, hitting enter, lamenting that one of her favorite sources of information on the internet will probably go to shit soon, moving her cursor to click on the first link on the page which leads to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, pasting the link to the aforementioned reddit thread, clicking "Browse History" and waiting, waiting, waiting patiently...

(thank you @okbae, @whatdoyoumeanitsnotawesome, @christinaseas, and @xoxoemynn for the information. I didn't check over this post's notes in a while so apologies for the delay!! I should've noted the API changes before the older version had a chance to spread so much :| )

someone who is good at ADHD please help me budget this. i'm unemployed
