ELI5:Why do some users that have top-rated comments with thousands of likes eventually delete their comment?

Many times over I have seen the top comment to be from [deleted]

It's (probably) because their inbox gets flooded by PMs that they really don't want. They'll get sent threats from people angry at them for what they posted or just for getting top comment/gold. People start looking at their private information, trolling them, going through their old posts, sending them annoying questions, etc. That's a problem with being anonymous online- the crazies can attack you personally without revealing themselves. This results in them deleting their account/post so that they will stop being harassed.
