I don’t know man, but I feel like I’m supporting a maniac CEO with every second I spend on reddit.

    If it makes you feel any better, your comments probably aren’t deleted and are still in reddits database. A lot of companies just set an ‘isDeleted’ flag to true/false. So even though the data doesn’t show up via the API, reddit still has all the data to sell to clients.

      Probably true, but if a lot of people delete their old comments, lots of Google searches will end up showing bad results for Reddit.
