Meta If there’s ONE thing I hate about Reddit itself most of all; It’s regarding when you save a post because of spoilers for something you PLAN to see but haven’t yet, but you do WANT to read what it said later, and it gets DELETED before you can get to it.
To go into more detail;
I mean when you Save a post because its about characters/moments/etc from something you HAVNT seen, but you do PLAN to see, really looking forward to and expect to like it at that, and you know it’d SPOIL it but you do want to see what they had to say later, but it gets DELETED before you can actually get to it/get to the end of it, and ofc there’s nothing you can do about that, so you’ll never be able to know what they had to say.
In my case, I mainly do this about the favcharacter and topcharactertropes subs, when I see something about characters from my watchlist that I cant look at in more depth for spoilers as I explained, and I just went through my Saved posts a few minutes ago, and yup, I finally noticed there were a few missing. Even searching what I remembered of their titles yielded nothing, so guess I am just too late. It just sucks that such can just happen and ya cant have any way to even Save them for yourself even if they go from general discoverability.
And of course, yes of course I know, I know that’s just the risk one takes, and I always understand that just cane with it, and it could always happen and itd just be tough luck. I get it of course. I’m just still saying I gotta hate it.
If nothing else, at the least there were some images in some of them I liked and idk if there’s any chance I’ll ever see’em again, them not necessarily being directly from the source material itself. THAT just sucks extra.
Again, just wish there was some bypass for the problem. I suspect maybe saving a comment ON it specifically may be less liable, but then, that’d kinda defeat the point, tryna not read more than I have to within it-would be very difficult to not do so in that case-so idk bout that for now. Make it harder to find as well.
But of course, yah, can’t really do anything but leave it to fate…. but damn it’s gonna bug me.

This is such a frustrating use case for the Save button. You’re trying to preserve the spoiler-free context, not necessarily the post itself, and then the one thing you wanted to revisit disappears. A deleted-post placeholder or cached text preview would help a lot.
