Reddit keeps blocking more and more vpn IPs also, they are desperate to identify you to farm your metadata. Shit like this is part of what it could be used for.

Reddit is truly indefensible at this point, absolute shit in overall content quality, UX, user respect, could go on and on

Even through my self-hosted VPN I can't access reddit! It's alright, though... It is helping me get over my reddit reflex.

Well yeah, you expect them to give up that info to a film studio who just demands it? No, they'll exercise their first amendment rights to not disclose it, and they exercise their first amendment rights to sell it for the right price.
