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...

I just deleted my account I found that many of the tools to shred my data just didn't work or maybe they do work and I just did it wrong? But in any case for me I just wanted out so I deleted my account.
