I've been wanting to ask HN about Reddit & PII, I have never had an account and generally only use reddit.com when something in a public libreddit instance isn't working - for example a video.
Reddit seems to target me with sponsored posts very specific to the industry that I work in, despite the fact that I do not have an account.
- Exclusively use iOS private relay - Do not use apps, only use web versions of services - 1blocker iOS installed - I don't use any Google products or the search engine
I raised a GDPR request with Reddit, and they stated that they have no way of knowing who I am when I use the site if I am not actively signed in.
How is reddit able to target me specifically with sponsored posts that are specific to the industry and skillset I'm in? What PII do they hold and how can I request they remove it?
