It’s because reddit wants to be a safe space for fascists, and public profiles make it easy to spot them in the wild and ban them from non-fascist subreddits. So now they let fascists hide their profiles so that mods can’t see that they are posting nazi shit.
Probably to prevent crawlers indexing information for AI. This way only reddit has it.

Not that I’m defending Reddit on this… but can’t mods still see a user’s history even if they hide it? I thought that was the case.
I found it very funny that Reddit was bitching about some LLM scraping “its” content. It’s not reddit’s content, it’s our content.
