You’re not wrong, but also I’d like to move away from the world of “site:reddit.com” being the go-to troubleshooting/advice-seeking search, and my posts turning up in such searches would be driving traffic to reddit, which I don’t want to do. I also don’t want my account history used for advertising purposes, and across the life of an account I tend to share more personal specifics than I’m comfortable with sharing in aggregate.

But you’re not wrong, either. I can see both sides of this one. Maybe I’d feel differently if I had a higher proportion of tech support posts and similar that are the most likely to show up in searches and solve someone’s problem I might feel differently, I don’t know.
