It seems Reddit is just following big techs lead in regards to Zerohedge.

My country banned Zerohedge in 2019 after the Christchurch attack. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/03/australian-and-nz-isps-blocked-dozens-of-sites-that-host-nz-shooting-video/

Telstra and Optus also blocked the sites in Australia. Besides 4chan and 8chan, ISP-level blocking affected the social network Voat, the blog Zerohedge, video hosting site LiveLeak, and others. "The ban on 4chan was lifted a few hours later," AAP wrote.

Twitter banned Zerohedge in 2020 for 'abuse and harrassment' - https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-twitter-idUSKBN1ZW0PZ
Twitter later restored their account: https://archive.ph/L5Epv

However after this, Google and Facebook 'independently' scrubbed Zerohedge out of existence: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/06/google-ads-bans-zero-hedge-federalist-facebook-far-right
