Reddit seems to really have shifted over the decades to promote throwaway accounts with no lasting identity. You regularly see users casually mention that their previous account was banned and they were using a new account.

The culture where people even black out the account name of Twitter postings when sharing a Tweet screenshot also seemed ridiculous. Like the assumption that every posting was a witchhunt when someone was just sharing an amusing Tweet. With TikTok it was even more absurd, you could see the video of a human person - but not share their TikTok account names.

It left a situation where Rich and Famous people would have their names left in Twitter screen shots, but everyday netizens had theirs blacked out. What are they thinking over there? “Stand up for the Big Guy”?
