They are good at this but FWIW if you create a new account it will not be banned. They do sweeps and ignore future account creation.

i've created a few new accounts and they all got banned within a couple weeks. i think because i used the same browser to create those as the other ones. i'm going to create some more accounts using a laptop this time for a different fingerprint and then use tor browser with them on my other computer. should be good i hope.

Also, if you have mobile data on your phone it's a foolproof alternative

Totally different IP address, while at the same time not being a VPN or tor exit node

wouldn't the phone IP link directly to me though?

That is true, yes. It is a downside. Hadn't thought of that.
