Doesn’t work for me. The Continue button is only enabled once you enter an email address. Furthermore, activating 2FA requires a verified email address.

Edit: It works when using the right URL, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34742134 below.

It only works on the desktop site. Did you try on mobile?

It works when manually going to https://www.reddit.com/account/register/ (both on mobile and desktop), but it doesn’t work when following the Log In / Sign Up links from the Reddit page, which have additional URL parameters attached. Maybe this is also an A/B testing situation, as the additional parameters have “experimental” in their name.

I might be thinking of old.reddit.com. I know that the mobile version requires an email there but the desktop version asks for it, but if you click continue, it doesn't check if you've entered one.

That experimental part is interesting.
