I'm developing a reddit analytics tool and today I noticed so many 403 errors. I was away from pc so my fetcher engine was blocked for 3 hours.

I fixed it and found the cause was the fingerprints. So reddit changed the way they "see" my engines. It was easy fix but i just wanna give a heads up about this blockage.

I don't post on reddit or have any accounts running but to anyone having multiple accounts with proxies setup, be careful. Reddit is getting smarter in detecting bots, crawlers and scrapers and i suspect that a wave of account ban is coming
