After scandalous media attention perhaps.
I obviously don't know how long you were on the site, but most of reddit's worst actors lived long and healthy lives, while some interesting ones (e.g. Unidan) got zapped on easy technicalities.
Unidan was intersting but he still used alts to manipulate votes
Yeah, it's not to say that he didn't violate ToS
more that a user like Violentacrez had to go down like the Hindenburg for their account to be removed while the funny trivia guy is permabanned for vote manipulation. Just saying that reddit isn't authoritarian, they're corporate; they hide their ugly niches and collect revenue from them until they become unprofitable.
It is certainly authoritarian now. It might have been different 10 or 15 years ago but now it is authoritarian.
I think a lot of people just use alts to escape algorithms and data nets, get to see the world from different perspectives so to speak
Wasn't Spez a mod on Jailbait, or did someone just make that up to make him look worse?
