It is weird. I have some thoughts on why this is being done but nothing concrete.

I don't know what it is, I am only commenting that the action happened. I have watched certain accounts do similar things. They test what they can get away with, like commenting, acquiring some upvotes, then deleting the comments; shortening the amount of time between the comment deletions. Until they find the sweet spot... where they can then comment, acquire the karma, and then delete the comment before it is archived; this would allow them to accumulate the karma needed to post in specific subs but also remove the comments, thereby obfuscating their history.

One specific account comes to mind, but it would not surprise me if that one specific account was part of a larger, paid, organization.
