Since when does a reddit account require me to submit ID proving I am indeed 18+? I literally see no difference in reliability between requiring an account where one claims to be 18+ and a banner where one has to claim to be 18+. In both scenario's you are relying 100% on user input.

I didn't say they required you to supply id.

Also the difference is in legislation, business certifications and responsibility.

Like I also said, in the end these measures don't matter to end result of the user (other than now needing to make an account, but still able to lie through it) but they do matter when a company wants to work with another that require all of its partners to have specific certifications and whatnot.
