A warning about subreddit manipulation. Three prominent accounts and frequent commenters have been suspended from Reddit, all were accounts I frequently suspected of manipulating conversation and/or personally attacking people.

VPN, throwaway account, you could easily give everyone else the info.

Even with VPN they can tell you are making fake accounts. There's something called "fingerprinting" and engineers spend a lot of time finding obscure ways to identify your computer specifically to prevent fraud, bots, etc... After working at FB for so long, I learned the only thing you can really do is have integrity and don't play games.
