So, to shred or not to shred the Reddit account? (beehaw.org)

After many days i finally received my GDPR data request, which i supplemented further with reddit-user-to-sqlite, so i have a nice full local copy of my account. Now I'm torn on whether to fully shred the data of the account or just delete it:

On one side, i highly dislike the idea of willingly contributing to a Wisdom of the Ancients scenario, although it might be a moot point anyway since it looks like Spez wants to wall off Reddit after all
On the other, fuck Spez and i don't wanna contribute a single cent to their profits
And as an additional point, it's rather unsettling the amount of info you can gather of somebody from their Reddit posts, just from a privacy point of view

What are your opinions on this?

Edit: Just deleted my RemindMeBot reminders, somehow that felt like it had almost the same finality as deleting my account somehow...

There is a need for some kind of reddit archive type of site with nice search, where we can just plug our data requests with options to filter out cats, memes etc.

Download data request file, upload file there, uncheck any sub content you want to not add and done.

I don't know how much space you need to store this stuff though or who would pay for it and keep it running and also traffic and yeah

Maybe maaaybe one could index just posts titles and store rest like on a p2p network in a circulating basis so if you need to see some comment answering to 'how to repair xyz' you press download and then can seed it to someone else

Forgive me if it is ridicolous but I am just shooting ideas
