Everybody’s different. Personally I was proud of my 15-year-old account on reddit (until they banned me for reporting too many ads as spam). People tend to trust your opinion more when you have an established account.
Having an old account makes it less likely that you’re shilling for a company when you recommend a product, for example.
I was staring at your comment for quite a long time to understand what the Austrian money has to do with recommendations, but at least I learned a new word, thanks!
I have an alt for my main account. I just link back to my main account from there. I mainly use it when my main instance goes down. Likewise, I link my main account to an older account I had originally that I migrated from (all same username). That way, even if my new/alt looks really new, if someone cared enough, they could follow the trail backward to other older accounts.
I don’t see why accounts should be valuable enough to be worried about.
When I was on reddit, I would start a new account every 2-3 years.

Huh, interesting. The only time I looked up someone’s post history is I couldn’t tell if they were a troll or serious.
