Reddit definitely demands an email to register. It's unclear to me whether they verify it (I didn't bother to check), but it's the first thing they ask for.


They have changed the UI to make you think it is required. Start with old.reddit.com and click next with the field empty.


It's possibly because of abuse from bots and such. It still does a great job of letting you manage anonymous accounts and swapping between them.


You used to be able to just leave that field empty, not sure if that's true anymore.
