Can you disclose which VPN you are using? I sometimes use ExpressVPN + a different browser to protect my identity, but it would be annoying if I lost my account

The charitable interpretation is that Reddit got a lot of abuse from individual IPs, the IP didn't seem to be shared to them, and they just blacklisted it. I assume they don't generally blacklist IPs from abusive users, since otherwise university campusses would quickly have problems :-).

They likely buy databases of IP addresses which have likelihood of fraud attached to them from third parties like Neustar or Geocomply or Digital Envoy. Being a VPN address is a great way to get a giant red flag on those databases (correctly).
