How does reddit do it?

reddit limits account creation to 1 account/10 minutes per IP address. iirc there are some ways using the public code to get more info about voting for a specific post or comment, but most of the "bad votes" are thrown out automatically by reddit's code

Browser fingerprinting.

Fingerprinting the fuck out of everything you do, and also basically allowing use of multiple accounts as long as they themselves are able to keep track of them.

I've never had to use an email to create new accounts and I always use a VPN.
