An ad tracking company can determine your approximate location based on your IP address. They may also be able to identify your Internet Service Provider (ISP), device type, operating system, and browser information. Some companies might even use more advanced techniques like geolocation or machine learning algorithms to infer additional details about you, such as language preferences or demographic information. However, it’s important to note that not all tracking methods are accurate, and privacy concerns exist due to potential misuse of this data.
I understand that you should be able to access websites however you want. But what reasons would someone have to use a VPN to access reddit?
I use a VPN all the time primarily because I don’t like the idea of being a data point for profit.

Why does there need to be a reason?

They don’t. They do care to whom they serve data using the bandwidth and servers they pay for.
My mobile provider manipulates and likely sells my network traffic. Also it hides tethering. My home ISP was confirmed to snoop and sell.
