I am using this based off my RC_2018-05.xz Reddit comment dump. When a user removes their comment, the metadata remains but the author and body fields become [deleted]. When a mod removes a comment, the body field is [removed] and the author field is still [deleted].

I'd like to see a graph of this metric (% removed comments) per month over time for as long back as you can calculate.
