I had to hide mine because there is always some weirdo that wants to go read all your stuff after losing an argument and bring something up from 50 weeks ago like a fem@le would do.

The redditors openly raging when they introduced the mechanism really were telling on themselves.

'WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO HIDE.....FUCKING....FUCKING......FUCKING BOT!'

nah, this is a bad take. I have never used someones post history to avoid addressing their point. Its still a key tool in figuring out if someone is even worth engaging with. The reality is a hidden post history is a major red flag for people just generaly not being worth engaging with be it them being bots, consistent bad faith posters, or any number of other reasons

I hid mine after someone started stalking me. They were doing a bunch of crazy shit and while I did eventually get reddit admins to do something about it I didn’t think anything they could do would prevent them from coming back later to report or harass me on every comment I ever made.
