How do points 1, 2, 3 and 5 lead to such a conclusion? Just because it's Russian doesn't mean it's bad. Not everything from Russia is somehow connected to Russian politics; please take care to keep these matters separate. Only point 4 is a bit strange, but it'd be strange if it were an EU or US service, too. Let's not use the word "honeypot" here prematurely before any real analysis. Otherwise it's just FUD.

Hello! This looks like a relatively new Reddit policy, not specifically aimed at VPN, but at any IP address not assigned to residential ISPs. In this case access is granted but only after you have logged in. Just tested from all Japan servers, including Taphao, and we could access. After the login all Reddit is accessible, as far as we see. To maintain a robust anonymity layer in Reddit you need an anonymous e-mail address created with the protection of AirVPN and/or Tor, of course. Follow the instructions you have published in your screenshots to login (the login page does not block access from Tor or VPN or datacenters). Two years ago Reddit started to prevent users to post more than a comment every 10 minutes if the connection came from a datacenter IP address ("if you are accessing from an hosting provider" hints to any non-residential IP address). The behavior you report seems quite new and we confirm that it happens even from dedicated servers completely unrelated from our VPN activities. However the system is still coughing because, on the other hand, as @mazurka7 correctly wrote, some VPN servers are not subjected to this filter. Kind regards
