Why would it work better when reddit are blocking IPs? It's an arms race you can't win in the long run.

It is working better because previously Reddit was blocking IPs from accessing the JSON endpoints, but Redlib doesn’t use those anymore, we emulate an official client, which currently doesn’t have any kind of IP blocking (they don’t want to ban any mobile VPN users probably).
