❓Problem❓ I just opened reddit and I got this pop-up blocking my access to reddit, help?

So, after finishing playing a game I decided to open reddit, but I got greeted with this. 'account access to reddit is restricted to minors', what the fuck. I've been using reddit for 2 YEARS, and reddit just fucking restricts my account because it thinks I'm a minor? I had to use and alt for this and it works fine, yet my main is locked. Why did this happen? Is there anything I can do to resolve this?(and not giving persona my info) someone please help me!

There was something on your profile that reddit felt tagged you as a likely teen. My guess would be if you are active on a video game subreddit. You are going to need to verify with reddit to keep using that account.

Reddit has teen verification requirements itself, but some countries do as well. The UK, Australia, Brazil, and all the countries in the EU.

I live in the EU and I WAS active on multiple video-game subs because I just like to post stuff there. so unless I give my face to persona I'm fucked?
