Reddit captcha - Flagged as bot?

[Rollfic]

Hi, when creating a new Reddit account, it asked to solve a captcha. I created the account and verified it with Gmail.

But, is it a sign that Reddit flagged the phone and detected it as a bot?

FYI, no accounts were ever banned and only 2 accounts were created last year (not on the same day). Accounts still working, not shadow banned (checked thoroughly).

When creating this new account, the previous accounts were not logged in.

I think even Outlook implement captcha-solving for all users worldwide but didn't know about Reddit till now.

No, it's not a sign you were flagged. Captcha can appear for many reasons. In fact, i don't think i've ever created an account without seeing a captcha. That means nothing.

A better sign that they suspect of you is only being able to comment every 10 minuts or so in EVERY sub. I'm not taking about the filters from specific subs. I'm talking about site wide filter, which exists. If you're using a proxy or a VPN, for example, you may be limited. If they suspect of your account for whatever reason, you may be limited too. I'm limited when i create accounts without a regular residential Ip. If i create an account in someone's house, i'm not gonna be limited.

They actually always give captcha even for real legit users

Captcha is always given when creating accounts on reddit, that's one of their ways to battle against bots

I noticed an error with the captcha when I tried to create a mail from outlook and you know the verification didn't work.

They detect different parameters of the device where you create the account, it is a bit delicate because even if you manage to create several, if you do not take measures to separate them at the time of connection in the maximum possible aspects, you will get tired of verifications and blocks.

Is it a social network like Facebook and Instagram?

Thanks for assuring me, I was scared xD

As I created the account on my phone using my phone's internet, can I transfer the accounts to a VPS after 2-3 days?

But I think VPS (DO) IPs are spammed to hell and not good quality. Will it affect my account?

I registered three new Reddit accounts a week ago. When I registered the first one, there was no captcha. When I registered the second and the third, the captcha appeared. As a result, the first one is still alive and has good karma. The second and third were blocked within 24 hours, I did not even start working with them. I wrote appeals, they were not unbanned! Make a conclusion - good or bad appearance of captcha when registering Reddit accounts ...
