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?

    Correct.

    But nobody is enforcing compliance.

    So they can just keep it on American servers and sell it to OpenAI or share it with the US government.

    Also, there are a lot of bots copying everything on reddit and other sites. Even if reddit would comply with GDPR, these bots cannot be traced and cannot be fined.
