I don't have numbers, but I did. Took Redact 9 hours to overwrite & delete the 17,000 comments on my 17-year-old account. But watching them scroll by, most weren't really worth keeping. I saw several 15+ year-old active accounts do the same before I left.

Wait, how can it find all your past comments? I thought Reddit only have you a list of the most recent 1000 or something like that?

Through the API - well, it was through the API before they changed it. No idea if that's possible now.
