A detail, but I've been browsing Reddit on a VPN since OSA.

So has much of the UK. So I don't think their VPN checks are very good.

What about trackers that collect data to be sold to advertisers? Seems like enough of a privacy concern to me.

Yeah sure, I was just noting that if Reddit does try to block VPN access, they're really bad at it.

And people have been using third party client with their own API keys even after the API became paid.

They've never been good at any kind of check, it's just supposed to be annoying enough to bother the average user

Well I'll just say it hasn't once stopped me and I've bounced around a lot of IPs.
