Google has a function to limit or remove third party connections/accounts from your google account. You should be able to change that if you wanted to.

I’ve just never had this happen with any other service. Usually you are expected to click through something to log in with google. The fact that Reddit is looking at every google account your computer is logged into, and then forcibly logging in any that are associated feels like a serious violation of privacy.

  Definitely agreed. Then again, Reddit has stopped being user or privacy friendly for a long time now.

  That’s not even possible. As somebody else pointed out, you’re logging in unintentionally on your end, probably with the Google password manager.

    The only time that account has ever been used on that computer had been to log into YouTube.
