Fun fact, Reddit only soft deletes your comments. So all those people using Reddit deletion/comment mangling services to protest only deprive their fellow users of their insights. Reddit Inc. can still sell your data.

Reddit will restore your comments even if you replace them with lorem ipsum with a script.
