Huh, that's weird that I basically got away with that. I used to switch to a new account every 6 months or so. It started when some weirdo started to follow me and commenting on every single comment I made. I think it was in 2013-14 somewhere around then. Ever since then, I threw away one to two accounts per year. The past few years it was more like every month or two. I was very active in /r/Formula1, they had 1 month time limit on new accounts, so once I was allowed to comment there, I'd throw away the old account. At times I used multiple accounts at the same time, one got suspended, I just logged into another. I know it was ban evasion or whatever, though it started as a way to keep the weirdos at bay. Anyway, I never got burned because of that. I guess I wasn't bad enough to be on their radar.

> I guess I wasn’t bad enough to be on their radar. You were a frickin' saint, because the things I did were either stupid (to call infractions) or really minor. lol. Or you were lucky or I was unlucky. heh. > time limit on new accounts, That's what finally has let me let reddit go - so many subreddits have a thing now where you have to have karma in threads that haven't hit /r/all yet before you can comment, and that takes time and effort when I just browse /r/all. heh.

I as well had people following me around, but also seeming influence agents overly familiar with me, talking down to me like they knew my personal details, which they should not have been able to know, but they might have because of Israel and corporate bullshit. Fuck Reddit. As I saw on a username here, better dead than reddit.
