Frankly, I don't care what you think is ideal user behaviour. Users on reddit are by-and-large such feral pieces of garbage that deleting one's account and starting over every couple of months is a necessity anyway.
Once the trolls there start stalking you simply for making comments, you'll understand.
1. Why do you think deleting and creating a new account helps? The data isn't account-bound, it's aggregate.
2. Do you realize there's an option in the account settings to disable it? Deleting your account only serves to reset that option.
3. If you're against reddit's behaviour, why do you continue using the site?
It's funny, your post feels pretty representative of what I've come to realize is "privacy extremism". In the name of privacy, refusing to tolerate or even understand what websites, companies etc are doing. It's counterproductive to your own cause. I mean, even if you thought you were doing yourself a favour deleting your own accounts, you're a fool if you think it's not possible to associate your old accounts to your new ones.
