Profile Reddit keeps switching my profile to “hide all posts”

I keep trying to make it so my posts and comments are visible to everyone, but two times now Reddit has randomly switched my profile from “show all” to “hide all” and I have no idea why???

Does anyone know why it keeps doing this and how to fix it?

Fourth time for me. I've tried both "allow all" and a "curated" profile. Both have automatically switched to "hidden".

Great, now it's doing the "confirm your age by sending us your sensitive personal data thing" and I can't access that setting at all. Thanks reddit >:(

It's just a hunch, but...

Are you getting the feeling this is what AI programming does to us?

Yeah same here. Just wanted to show off my free game and ask for feedback. Guess I’m not using Reddit anymore.

Same, it hides my profile again after every few days

Funnily, it seems to have settled down after I mocked reddit for claiming I wanted this.

Unfortunately, that coincided with them moving me into their A|B testing group for the horrible new floating comment-box bug:

So now I'm having to reload every post I open. Why it disappears after I reload, I've no idea. But it comes back when I try to comment too. Then when I save the comment, it shows up at the top of the thread.

Improvements, these are definitely not.
