The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.

The bans are mostly meaningless these days tho. Its so easy to make a new account and bypass detections.

not on reddit though, much harder to bypass since they upped thier bannings and detection methods this year and recently too. the ones that are bypassing on reddit usually are using hundreds of account at once and earning some money from doing it. additionally they also are using AI to indiscirminately ban people.

Its still super easy just search the web how to. Use a new browser window with new email on mobile network connection - its literally impossible to reliably fingerprint this.
