i waited a whole year and was gauging reddits bans, they leveled off like last year, because they realize they were banning too much people, which would generated content for ai scraping. i dont use mobile for reddit anymore, except for lurking. i use librewolf as the desktop browser, since its a new browser i never used with reddit. its harder if you are spammer for your "business/income" they...

Maybe they will start profiling cell service IPs, but so far I've been in the clear with them. I think spam / proxy IP database lookups is weighing heavily in reddit's profiling. Using Claude I cam up with a reasonably seamless way to have Firefox and Brave on my home PC use my phone's data connection instead of my cable IP, which is very very static and long blacklisted.

reddit is definitely doing that, for people who are spamming thier own businesses. i created an account after a year of getting shadowbanned, from brave, i think what set it off during early last year, when i was using brave, reddint dint notice, but when i switched to a different browser they immediately shadowbanned the now deleted account. as long as you have different IP/device, and browser you are in the clear. the spammers i was talking about have multiple devices(phones) so they can do the spamming. i only use the phone to lurk now and on desktop i avoid any of the problematic subs.

They probably can't profile cell IPs because the collateral damage would be too great.
