Same here. That's why I came here and never looked back. :) There is no point in trying to reason with or figure out a profit driven, bot riddled platform like Reddit.

Yeah, I literally got locked out for "suspicious behavior" (me changing from gmail to protonmail and being more active on the platform) and then it said for me to change the password and reddit wouldn't allow me to. I fucking hate reddit.
It told me to change password, then made me make a whole new username and account!
It's how I ended up here. My first impression was that this is how old reddit was. Just let reddit die and move on.
My takeaway here is that the VPN's no longer provide you with privacy.
