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?

I haven't done so personally. A lot of my old activity had to do with helping people with programming questions, so if it's still useful to someone on occasion, I don't feel inclined to remove it.
I left reddit a little over a year ago now, and I don't really care about what goes on over there. I made my statement of displeasure by simply ending all activity on the platform. I figure whatever legacy I left will eventually descend into irrelevance without my having to physically delete it all. At this point, that just sounds like work.
