Have you tried it? Every new account will be shadowbanned and if it's shared you often get blank page 429. None of this was true before the API shutdown.

That’s not my experience, using various VPNs, public networks, Cloudflare and Apple private relays. A captcha is common when logged out but that’s about it, I have not encountered any shadow bans. I create a new account each week.

That's not the same as "blocks all data to non-residential IP's"?

See my other comment. I agree there's a non-zero amount of VPNs that are banned from reddit, but it's also not particularly hard to find a VPN that's not banned on reddit.

  • Probably not hard but my poor little innocent VPS at Hetzer that I have had for years is denied and that makes me sad.
