It looks like DAUq was flat or declining until Q3'21, then started ticking up, but really popped off in Q3 and Q4 of 2023 after they killed third-party clients.

DAUs seem less useful for an anonymous service like reddit. I have like 3 throwaway accounts and it takes 5 seconds to create a new one.
Yeah, they say as much in the risk factors when discussing potential issues with their metrics:

"Moreover, a single person or organization may hold multiple accounts and may use more than one account to perform multiple views within a relevant period."
