    Pretty sure even a VPN does nothing if you’re on a cellphone as well isn’t it?

    Like all cellphones carry a unique identifier, that’s how, say, reddit can keep you banned even if you start a new account under new email and a vpn.

        Well I’m not sure how else they keep you banned. I was fine on my desktop under a new account and email but even with a VPN and fresh accounts it banned me, sometimes within seconds on my cell phone. Got a new phone like a year later and could get an account (obv)

        Between just my uncommon device, my languages spoken, and rough location (timezone), I’m actually crazy identifiable, yikes.
