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?

    It’s too low priority in my life compared to all the real life challenges on my plate right now.

    But I would want to save an html file of the entire thread and any media. Then I would host it somewhere in case anyone needed it.

    I don’t care about the AI angle. I just don’t want my posts benefiting the site.

    If I had tons of time, I’d edit my comments to be carefully crafted nonsense. Maybe by using a cut up machine.
