    Deletes don’t actually delete, it just sets a flag in the system to not show it so they can restore the comment (apparently this has already happened). Edits actually do overwrite the content of the post in the system and if you actually put readable but irrelevant content they also waste people’s time when browsing the site so it makes it less usable (rather than a deleted comment which people will just skip over). Also, if you edit it to be gibberish it makes the data much less attractive to those training AI. Make them have to work to turn it into something monetizeable.
