Browsing reddit while using a VPN is verboten.
Good grief I despise that smug, winking snoo with a effing fedora that goes along with the error page.
woah there pardner!
Better than me getting shadow banned from reddit for using one, I appealed back then
first time? I was banned from reddit entirely 8 times
Were you banned or shadow banned?
I was only shadow banned once, however never banned normally.
yeah, seems like they really don't want site visits or something! oh well, its cooler here.
Untraceable visitors are worth nothing. From a cynical point of view, better off without them.
A lot of reddit's most popular content is stuff like TrueOffMyChest from throwaway accounts. Robust privacy protection would result in more of those posts, and more traffic overall, but reddit doesn't care about making the site work, they've dedicated themselves to milking the individual users for all they're worth. It's a bit like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Because look, now we're all here, generating content on a competing platform
