    I get this even when signed in. Reddit really doesn’t like VPNs at all these days.

          It used to be that you didn’t need an email to sign up. The account I had before the API crap this summer didn’t have an email associated with it. Couple that with using an always on VPN browser anti-fingerprint measures, and you could theoretically maintain a reasonable degree of anonymity, assuming you don’t dox yourself. I assume a lot of this also has to do with users utilizing VPNs to circumvent band as well.

            But they can still use everything you’ve written there to work out stuff about you. I bet they don’t do it well though, given how poorly targeted their advertising was

        Probably because they have some geo-locked content now (e.g. NFL games) and also because VPNs and proxies can potentially be used to bypass ads.
