Do the advantages of deleting one’s entire Reddit history outweigh the disadvantages?

I have previously nuked my first Reddit account because it felt satisfactory to be completely detached from a platform one considers unethical/bad. Though, I have garnered quite some history on a second account—because Duty Calls*, of course—and I’m considering doing the same.

However, I don’t want to do it impulsively. I think I might be blind to some disadvantages. What do you think?

    That assumes that your deletions are actually deleted and not just unlinked. Even then they almost certainly still have all that data in the form of backups. There is a near 100% chance it has been sold and used to train LLMs.
