That to me was an important feature of reddit :(

What I suspect is that they were getting flooded by bots…

    That’s extra work, throwaway services are often blocked, and it also defeats the purpose of having a backup contact in case of loss passwords etc.

    But as I said, I hate email in general and wish there were at least other options to “verify my humanity” or for those other purposes email is used.

      Never had any issues whatsoever, it is less work to me than logging into my mail account and confirming my account, but I also like to have a separate account for every service and never use the “login with facebook/whatever else” option.

      That’s true, but if you actually want to be able to recover your password, there isn’t a way around providing your email.
