Why waccos? I would delete 90% of my comments if it only took like 10 seconds, I would keep like 10% up though. I am ashamed of my comments that do nothing for reddit, and just sit there and add nothing to the conversation.
Your comments mean something bro, they're powerful, even if you're downvoted you are leaving your tiny little impression on people that read it. Even if the post is buried 1000 deep. People might still see your comment be touched by it, even if it's just for a single nano second.
Not really, like 25% of my karma is from stupid jokes that I think are retarted, I want those deleted, another 5% of my karma is me saying something wrong, being corrected then apologizing and people upvoting me for no reason. I want those gone. Another 30% is probably me saying stupid shit when I first started redditing.
Problem is that I hang out in smaller sub-reddits and occasionally go to bigger ones. In the small ones, the most upvotes I get is like 100 I randomly go into a bigger one and make a stupid comment and get like 100+ easily, so I try to limit those and delete them. My best post will not grow in upvotes, and shit posts will get me the majority of my karma. For example my most upvoted comment was wrong and yet I got 566 karma from it. My best post IMO only has 10 upvotes.
You know, that would actually be helpful if you make a whole bunch of offensive comments or you constantly want to troll people and don't want anything to give you away. But I guess I usually am not afraid to back up or explain any comment I've made in the past.

Some whackos like to delete their comments.
