Can someone explain to me, what's the reasoning behind Reddit sending EVERY KEYSTROKE in a comment as a separate API POST request, instead of waiting until you clikc "Send" and send the whole text at once?
This approach results in 200 ms input lag when typing, which is super annoying and distracting

alas - it smells like keylogger, but its only within the single page which is weird...

maybe trying go extract even more personal data by analysing how people formulate their thoughts and how they are correcting them? and if they are auto-censoring themselves?

It sends the whole content of the textbox after every keystroke. So with each letter typed the request payload grows larger and larger. So with longer comments or posts EACH REQUEST is like 200-300 B. It sends 200 B every keystroke. So with average 40 WMP it's 200 letters per minute, so it's 40 kB/minute from every user.
