Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

I know. When I got permabanned after 12 years and a million Karma, I started using a new account, and lasted about 3 months. After that, they tracked me down faster and faster. The last one permabanned me in minutes before I could post my first message. They got my number now, and it's probably gotten even tighter with AI.
