    It wouldn’t matter. Deletes on reddit (and all social media sites) are soft deletes. The data is not actually deleted. They can still sell it even though it’s in a “deleted” state, as they have a perpetual license to use anything you shared on their site in any way they see fit.

    In addition, they are actively restoring deleted comments when people use any of the various reddit account wiping tools.
