I think they want real users because they want to sell their data for LLM training, but that might mean purging accounts that are “too political” to be of use.
Comment on Permabanned from Reddit?

Reddit has been on this trend for a long while. It might be because you posted in a sub that’s gotten scoured. It might be because you said a word or set of words that tripped their algorithm. You might have been reported by someone for some reason.
Personally, I’m of the vote that Reddit actively does not want real users anymore. They just want lurkers and bots. You might have genuinely been banned for no reason whatsoever.

In all seriousness, though, thank you for that answer.
