Well, as a Reddit user i dislike these "delete old comments" scripts since i very often read old discussions about topics i find interesting and when i hit the occasional "deleted by script foo, do it yourself too because reddit evil" i get irritated since they make following that old discussion hard.

It is your account of course, but i still dislike the practice since it goes counter to the entire purpose of a discussion site.

Several sites ingest and store Reddit comments forever. Scripts that overwrite old comments are ceremony for the user, nothing more.

Only a small subset of users would be interested in those sites, and they likely don't come up in searches nearly as much as the original reddit post, so there's much more value to the deletion scripts than you are giving credit for.
