It seems they also recently started requiring you to login if it notices you are on VPN. At least for me it's being doing that recently. And it seems they use browser fingerprinting, which tracks with the data selling.

Yep. I tried to lookup something on it yesterday and I had my VPN on. Wouldn't let me onto the site unless I logged in, when I turned the VPN off it let me onto the site ok. So glad I don't use it often. The only times I check Reddit is for info for Kodi add-ons and old stuff, in the case of yesterday it was about a TV.

Not on old thankfully. Although who knows how much longer it'll be around
