Yes, but if you look closely all of those submissions were made on the javascript subreddit. It's entirely possible that this sub was still private on the 24th, and went public on 25th. I don't know for sure but that seems to be the most likely scenario.
Edit: Looking at the blackout tracker, javascript was still private on June 24th, which is the day that the OP of the video was manually deleting his submissions.
If the sub were private that time, wouldnt it have prevented him from being able to delete the comment in there in the first place (bc he wouldnt be able to see them when its privet?) In this case he was able to see them i guess because he was able to delete them specific. But am not sure
Yup, I couldn't see my own comments or posts on subs that were private. When I tried to delete them via API/script it got me an error too.
However, there's an exception. If you are a mod or approved user for a sub, then you can see and edit/delete as normal. I have never tried this scenario but maybe in this case when it go public again, any deletions are undone (because of the caching issue).
