Why do i see so many comments that are missing? Sometimes they are in threads that are getting heated and I could understand someone deleting a really bad take but other times it’s in a shitpost like the example.

        There is some record of this comment.

        The evidence of its existence is disputed among comment historians. However, they are unanimous about one thing: if it existed, it was a stupid comment that should have been deleted immediately after it was written.

        Some also claim this comment was edited, but the evidence for that is highly questionable, borderline fabricated.
