There’s already a big flaw in this, and it won’t work with teenagers.
If they want to access Reddit, they’ll just do something like grab a pic of their grandparent who never uses Reddit, sneak out their ID whilst they’re sleeping, and get verification without anyone getting notified.
Sounds extreme but I can just imagine teens doing this without issue. It would be extremely easy.
