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?

What's better is to edit every comment and keep your acc active so they can't roll it back.

I asked through support whether they keep previous versions of edited comments and posts, which they claimed that they don't.

I just mass-edited my Reddit account with https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite. Powerful features and free.
