Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

And their bans really stick. If you piss them off enough, they connect every account you've ever had, somehow, and the ones they miss, if you log in it's a matter of days before they catch on.

It's kind of impressive, actually.

    I know. When I got permabanned after 12 years and a million Karma, I started using a new account, and lasted about 3 months. After that, they tracked me down faster and faster. The last one permabanned me in minutes before I could post my first message. They got my number now, and it's probably gotten even tighter with AI.
