Reddit banned Paul McCartney over phone-free concert photos post in their subreddit

2026-03-30 08:16 UTC

Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

    Reddit will ban you for even the mildest of takes. Their AI admin is draconian in metering out bans. The platform seems to really want to get rid of all of the pesky humans still there and just be a safe space for bots.

    It’s funny how a lot of the complaints I’m reading here are about how Reddit is unfriendly toward left-leaning people but all the right wing people complain about how Reddit is a cesspool of liberal propaganda. It just goes to show that the platform plays both sides just to promote hate and anger. I visited after I got banned and the default posts that show up without logging in (therefore uncurated) were all so irritating that I had to assume they were all ragebait.

    My three notable bans: 1. Banned from politics for quoting the Constitution on treason punishment 2. Banned from gym for arguing with a "pro" claiming there are no stupid exercises and bad form doesn't exist. 3. Banned from child free for saying not every one that is child free hates children with the passion of a burning sun and wants them all to die. Edit: I forgot to mention when time number 2 happened. I asked the mod "Why was I banned?" Then my entire account got a 3 month suspension for "Mod abuse" by the admins.
