I’ve always meant to do this, but after hearing about the AI thing I want to get it done. Is there no free solution? I have too much history to clear manually.
EDIT: PowerDeleteSuite did the trick, thanks!

If I overwrite or delete the comments, other users won’t see them. So I won’t be feeding reddit ad traffic with all the content I created for them.
Perhaps they will decide to unedit and undelete my comments, and sure I won’t be able to do anything about that. But I want to at the very least make them put in that effort, if not successfully remove my comments from view.
That doesn’t work. I went in and manually deleted EVERY. SINGLE. POST. I had on a banned account. I checked back later and they were all still up.
I’m glad you feel satisfied, I really am.
I’m not invested in this conversation to break you down or tell you you made the wrong choice.
I just think it’s much better for people to live in the reality of the situation. And the reality of the situation dictates a few things:
Any effort to remove your comments in a permanent way from Reddit servers is not happening, and the technical reasons have been described; effort to prevent the sale of your comments in this manner is fruitless.
Reddit leadership, administrators and developers have gone on the record saying that they simply restore deleted comments and those from deleted account at their sole whim and discretion.
The natural conclusion is to accept that you got burned by Reddit, and if you don’t want to contribute to them anymore, the only method to do so is by not participating in their app or site. You cannot retract your past participation and people need to understand this. Every time the discussion comes up about deleting one’s comments and account, it should be clearly pointed out by informed individuals that it will not achieve the desired objectives.
I really think it is better to describe how hopeless it is, so people get an understanding of some of the more sinister motives and machinations Reddit has.

Your comments are coming up FOR YOU.
You are so far out of your depth and you know “just enough to be dangerous” - I wish you well.
