  During the peak of the great purge, it was quickly becoming pointless. A lot of results were bringing up deleted posts. It took a while for search engines to catch up and start filtering a lot of those results out.

  In regards to the editing part, sure, I’m sure they can track your edit history. However, on a large scale, most edits are going to be to correct things. To determine if an edit was to poison the text, it would likely require manual review and flagging. There’s no way they’re going to sift through all of the edits on individual accounts to determine this, so it’s still worthwhile to do.

  The trick is to turn everything into randomized garbage and then delete it later. A lot of those purge services offer that feature. It just swaps the words with others; so on the surface it looks like proper written text, but it makes absolutely no sense.

  Aside from removing your content that they’re profiting from, it also feeds AI scrapers pure garbage in the event that your content is restored.
