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?

Solution: create a static mirror of Reddit for preservation of the single digit percentage worthwhile content, nuke the main site entirely to stop new trash being added to the dumpster fire.

Repeat the process with Twitter, then 4chan or whatever they call it this week.
