This is a containment board and reddit follows you around on IPs. If you switch accounts, ‘they’ will still follow you.

If you switch IPs, they do not.

A friend told me.

But, site admins as sophisticated as reddit use any number of published lists of common proxies, so you have to have access to some alternative way to get a different IP, and a different geographical/owned IP.

Which your average non-Development Tech worker has. Say your company has offices in several cities in the US and a few overseas, and you have access to other companies and overseas entities that are completely divorced from the Technology field other than using the internet as a networking medium, well then, reddit is powerless to stop that. None of those IPs are on any proxy lists, you are switching IPs with no common geographical site… that’s impossible to ban as reddit would ban/shadowban/contain entire nations.

But, reddit uses text recognition and syntax recognition. There are actually several companies, sanctioned and unsanctioned, and possibly hundreds of academic studies running on reddit at any one time, reading text and matching it. Now reddit sanctioned ‘operations’ will be more efficient, as you can get access to their data on their servers. But again reddit is public internet so it can be done and is done simply by loading pages created by the reddit system. After all, this site doesn’t operate unless McDonald’s, Nutella, and SpaceX aren’t getting tons of exposure. Same with Bull Nye the ‘Science’ Guy and Black ‘Science’ Man shilling for PRC PVC manufacturers and Siemens windmill.

This site is a great indication of how the Corporate Sphere absolutely and without reservation totally owns and runs the Liberal media. Alex Jones is cartoonish LARP compared to what goes on on reddit. This place is a shithole of Corporate Think.
