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?

And why should an American cooperation care about that? They can basically do whatever they want without ever having to fear any consequences.

Remember, when they simply restored accounts, posts, and subreddits that were deleted during the API protests?
