There are easier ways to get an ID for someone if you have admin access.

Seems like a lot of effort to go to in order to collect a small amount of personal data.

Also, the fact that /r/me_irl is run by cancer is highly suspicious to me.

Can you elaborate on this? Is that why there's no /v/me_irl? I was thinking about starting one; I thought it was weird that there isn't one here.

The mods on that sub are socjus and socjus types seem to delight in doxxing people. Seems a bad combination for a sub where people post their IRL info.

Edit: I was wrong

You know, when article about facebook started to mention them using facial recognition to help tag and organize photos was when I noped out of there. I wouldn't put it past reddit to use similar tactics.

This is hilarious, /u/misha_is_here, I ran that campaign! Definitely not an effort to gain personal info. (of course I would say that... dun dun dunnn) Just like I mentioned in the OP over there, I sent a PM to 57 people (you were one) who posted sweet pics for their permission to post on our instagram (and tag their handle with photo cred) to share their efforts with our followers. 49 said sure it was ok, and the other 8 never responded. Now that I look through our Instagram account, it seems as though our social person never wound up posting your photo to our account, or else I would have passed the link over to you, as promised since you said you didn't have Instagram :)

examples here, here, etc

Steve (CTO@Hipmunk & new reddit CEO) actually had nothing to do with it, he purposefully removed himself from pretty much all internal reddit discussions.

Not a bad theory, how about you post it over in /v/conspiracy, though?
