I'm reduced to using throwaway accounts I made over a decade ago because those are the only ones that have the age to get past the spam filters. I tried making fresh new accounts multiple times only to run into the same issues as OP. Not that there's even much reason to spend time on Reddit anymore because even the niche interest communities have been overrun with Lefty political spam. I'd say this is unsustainable for Reddit, but I'm certain the only reason that site still exists in its current state is because it has more value to its owners as a propaganda outlet than it does a functional website.

Didn't they try to sell it or offer stock a while back? I forget. They figured it was worth billions.
