Because reddit makes you think it’s needed. It’s cheeky you have to skip the email entry or leave it empty with nothing telling you that it’s optional.
@Ilandar You get penalized if you don’t. In particular, if reddit decides to “lock your account for suspicious activity, please change password to re-enable” you can’t do that and your account is just gone
@Ilandar you care if you aren’t using an app designed especially for ban evasion, because you’ll have to subscribe to your favourite subreddits again. And if anyone knows your account, now they don’t.
@Ilandar also the form presents the field as mandatory. To not enter one, you have to click “next” on “please enter your email address” - which is the FIRST STEP - without entering an email address. Who would ever try that?
@mrbubblesort @gsa32 no, but they’d have to answer with whatever they do have, which is your email address and IP addresses
Email address isn’t required either. I don’t know why people sign up with it.

Who cares? Just make a new one.
Are you saying you do not care about internet points? Outrageous!
