I really hope not a lot of people does that. Looking for knowledge or guides i don’t want to be stuck with the worst part of the internet as what blogs have become. There’s a reason all of us are using site:reddit.com.

Yeah, that's totally reasonable. I guess it comes down to personal choice. Do people want to leave their content / writing with a company that doesn't have their interests in mind?
There was more discussion about this exact issue in the thread about Shreddit from the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36257981
Unfortunately, the alternative is to let Reddit continue to profit off content contributed by users who Reddit has now decided to spurn.
A lot of people are using Reddit's data request form to get a copy of their own content before deleting it.
Maybe somebody could set up a site where users can send in their personal backups, and they can be combined into a sort of 'shadow Reddit'.
