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?

Use that deletion app several times, separated by months.

It can edit the posts, include random stuff and conspiracy stuff.

Sonetimes stop it partway through.

In short, yes they have "something", but what do they have?
