What's the difference between me deleting my Reddit account and me just not using it?

By editing all posts and deleting the account, Reddit no longer has any content or information on you worth selling. As it is now, Reddit keeps selling everything they can of yours to everyone they can find who wants it.
It's nothing big, just if you don't want Reddit to make any more money off of the content you added to the site and information you revealed about yourself.
Edit: They'd probably keep selling the profile they already built on you, I'm not sure but I'd guess you accepted this in a previous privacy agreement.

Ohhhh, thanks, I was totally unaware that they sell that kind of information! Edit; So if I deleted my account, does it actually delete from their servers etc or does it just stop me being able to log in and show that the account was deleted on posts I had put up?
