I did do it a couple of weeks before the API policy change, so I have a bit more confidence that they were really deleted. I know that they made some backend changes right before the API policy change, which prevented such actions from being permanent. I really did go back and look through past posts in past comments even from many years back, and my comments really are very much gone. Sure, I can’t go and see all tens of thousands of them, but spot checking from a year ago all the way back to nine or 10 years ago, they’re all gone wherever I’ve looked.
But you’re right, they are not going to get one more cent out of me, in time or effort. Thank goodness I never actually gave them any real money.

The data request shows comments/posts you can’t find anymore as a user.
