It’s an interesting dilemma and I do think that’s the inherent value in deleting your account and nuking your post history. Otherwise, you’re just leaving it there for posterity for Reddit to benefit from into the future, as long as Reddit itself exists. Because there’s no guarantee future generations would be able to access it anyway. And TPTB at Reddit might scrape all that info and dump it onto a new monetized platform forcing everyone who could potentially benefit from it to go through their paywall anyway. I say nuke away.
