Confusion with Reddit

I've had a Reddit account since 2016. I only read and posted in the Python forum (1 million subscribers!). Yesterday, I unexpectedly received a shadow ban. This means that my comments and posts are invisible to others. Essentially, it's read-only.

I created several new accounts from different IPs and devices. It turned out that email verification is no longer required. This process takes 15 seconds. On some accounts, I verified the email, but it didn't help. Here's an example of a newly created account without email verification, and it's still active because nothing has been done on it: https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Half8140/

If you have the ability to receive a verification code via email like dff35fghf@hfhlltgf.com, you'll automatically get a free PRO version of the account, which includes advanced statistics and other perks. However, the account remains in a "pre-ban" state.

Upon testing, I found that all new accounts are in this "pre-ban" state. This means you can change your avatar, read, vote, and the accounts are visible when logged out or from a private browser window.

However, attempting to post on your own wall (which automatically appears upon registration), write any comment in any discussion thread (even in /askReddit and /NewToReddit), create a post in any group, invite someone as a moderator to your wall, or follow someone without karma results in an instant shadow ban. The account becomes invisible from a private window and logged-out devices, the avatar turns red, and it cannot be changed.

The symptoms are the same for all IPs and languages (English, Polish, Russian). ChatGPT says that this is how it is now, and a ban is very likely. However, I see some activity in groups about Moscow and St. Petersburg, which means people somehow manage to pass this test... But how?

AI Reddit is going wild!
