Reddit has device fingerprinting. Bots that try the sign-up page get hit with an intense fingerprinting script and probably a captcha but the fingerprinting script is probably the main thing. If they can't fingerprint you well enough or it throws up flags that you look like a bot then they probably shadowban that account or demand email verification.
