Reddit requires KYC now

WTF!

KYC to do what? anyway, my reddit account was banned. A lot of house cleaning is on-going over there maybe as a result of going public. I hope what happened to Tumblr after Yahoo acquisition doesn't happen to Reddit.

Like someone else said the whole point of Reddit was anon chats (a large share of which were obviously fake or made up)

Their conversion sucks though so they're probably going for legit ads sales now which requires them to have real users

Asking people for an ID before registering on a forum won't in any way encourage a REAL user to join the forum, unless they absolutely need to.

The higher spending demographics don't care about signing up. See Apple and Tesla and others.
 
This is normal, they are trying to stop VPN users. They will never implement KYC on Reddit—that would be stupid. There's nothing to worry about.

True that.

I just checked again: 4G without Proxy; yesterday, they somehow banned my Dedicated IP from PureVPN (I mean, they are shi* anyway, but the dedicated IP was always good to go).
It could be that the reason behind this was just the use case with my VPN. Now, with ExpressVPN (Switzerland), there are no issues.
Dont use proxies for casual surfing - only for work.

Yes, so: Somehow, this shocked me yesterday; it was not really clear to me because I checked the news - relevant live tickers, etc.- but still, apologies to the ones I "attacked" yesterday verbally.

But still:

I know people who signed up to banks with just their second first name + last name (missing their first first name)

I have no problem with you, BUT even though you are most likely an obese boy, you are cute. That is not banking knowledge; that's just live experience; you will get it someday.

I don't think they will ask for that is like people being asked for ID to create a facebook account, no one will give it and just move to the next social media, maybe a special request to access dev tools on reddit or for API access makes more sence but for any user doesn't seems to be a right play for reddit that will be their doom if that is the case.
 
That warning means your IP is suspicious on reddit, datacenter IPs can still be used just not dirty ones or widely known ones.

They have been doing this for a while now, just didn't look as fancy as now. Before it was a white page with "whoa there pardner" saying.
It started in the late 2023, but there was a loophole, you could use old.reddit without any restrictions, but as of late march this year they disabled that too.

On the bright side, they will never implement true KYC because that will destroy one of the biggest and unique features of reddit: anonymity.
Doing such will literally destroy 1/3 of their traffic if not more.

But they will absolutely become more strict in future for bots/spammers/advertisers probably.
 
I am not stop using reddit if this is about to happen or happening
