Most people will fold and get the account

Well, except for the (apparently) vast swathes of long-time users who get permabanned for bullshit reasons (or no given reason at all) and then can't make a new account because of "ban evasion." I guess they just aren't allowed to experience Reddit at all, even lurking.

    I got banned for ban evasion recently. I do have two old accounts, but neither were banned before so idk why lol.

    Their website is so shit that I can't even ask why. The auto mod sent me a DM and says if I want further info to reply to that message, but I have to accept the message request. Which I can't do because I'm banned.

    the reason is that, permban has caused many to just lurk on the site instead. even the ones that still have accts are afraid to login. they want people to login, but htier AI moderation/filters are still yay high. plus its not even stopping most bots / AI botting anyways, they can just create a single use account, post and move onto the next thing.
