If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?

Yes. I was IP banned from Reddit and my wife’s account got banned as well on her devices (I never once used her devices to log into my account).

This can be circumvented with a vpn, but why bother. Reddit is a toxic site that is meant to show you ads and get you enraged so you engage.

Or by browsing from your data plan, or refreshing your ip address. Unless you pull a static ip for which you pay for a dynamic one is going to change. Just power cycle the modem and it'll likely change. Sometimes it takes a few tries or leave it disconnected for a bit.
