I might be missing the point but I don't plan to do this when I leave Reddit later this month. It seems to me like it doesn't hurt Reddit (the company) very much, but it can hurt fellow human beings quite a bit. I think investors probably care a lot more about current engagement numbers than they care about a deep trove of old, intact discussions.
Meanwhile, I often get Reddit conversations in my Google results, and regularly see threads that are riddled with [deleted] comments. The worst is a deleted comment with replies along the lines of "Thank you!! That's exactly what I needed!" The answer I was looking for was there, but now it's gone.
Then again, I don't think I said anything particularly helpful on Reddit, so maybe it doesn't matter whether I run the script or not :)
