I keep reading that former users of reddit are scrubbing their old accounts out of spite. So I wanted to know- What is it? Why are people doing it? Does it actually hurt reddit? What are some good bots that will do it for you?

They are editing their posts/comments and/or deleting them.
Why depends on the person own reasoning, but API changes, disrespect and lies CEO told and just wanting to move off from the toxicity are a few common ones.
Impossible to know specifically as they are not a public company (yet). But using logic, it would make sense that less content is not a good thing for the company that exists on user generated content. The biggest damage it can do is medium term, for their upcoming IPO, the value projections were already slashed in value a few times.
