Reddit is too hostile towards new users

I'm not a regular Reddit user. On the rare occasions I want to post or comment here, I make a new throwaway account. I've been doing this for over a decade. Reddit has always been hostile towards new accounts, but lately it's become fucking impossible. Every new account gets a sitewide shadow ban within days.

A few days ago I created a new account and posted a single support question in r/fidelityinvestments and a comment to a thread in r/paraguay.

Neither of these contained any advertising, broke any Reddit rules, or said anything remotely inflammatory. I don't use VPN's. The account is now shadow banned and the post and comment are deleted. Why?

On top of this, nearly every sub has lazy mods that auto-remove posts and comments from or shadow ban accounts that aren't of a certain age or karma threshold.

This has no effect on bots or trolls. They have 1000's of hacked/purchased accounts with sufficient age/karma. Or they use their own bot network to karma farm on new accounts. Which is why the entire front page is always full of shitty reposts and ragebait.

It's literally impossible to be a new user on Reddit. If this keeps up, the site will become nothing but bots talking to each other, and unaware shadow banned users talking to themselves.
