Reddit has a lot more tracking and fingerprinting going on in their own app too that they obviously want you there for. Once you log into multiple accounts, it fingerprints you as the same user on all accounts. I had a few accounts; a work related one and a couple personal ones. Ended up with a temporary ban on one from a dick head mod, and ALL of them got banned together for 7 days because of that with a message (forget the exact wording so I'm paraphrasing) basically saying "don't try to make another account to get around the ban because we'll still know its you". They're mining the shit out of user data now, and also really starting to connect the dots on multiple account holders which I'm guessing will be to "deal with" people who detract from their IPO goals. Glad I left.
