Similar experience.

I guess what orgs and companies do these days is paying some sketchy middleman for preprovisioned Reddit accounts.

It seems Reddit also punishes ban avoiding. If they find a way to associate my banned accounts with a preprovisioned account, that account can also get banned?

I don't know how they do it, but I have tried using a completely new IP and private browsing, getting a new account, and posting in r/CatAdvice that r/NewToReddit says is newcomer friendly, but still got shadow banned.
