Comment on Reddit Logging in with Google Accounts Automatically

In the security page on Google’s account site there is a card with the title “Your connections to third-party apps & services”. Go there, click “See all connections” and click Reddit. From here you can remove access for Reddit and/or delete all connections between your Google account and Reddit.

Does that equate to actually deleting the Reddit account in question though? I assume only the connection is severed, but Reddit still retains the userdata from now a disconnected ghost account.

It doesn’t do anything except divorce the accounts.

I’m 98% sure you can still log in again, it just invalidates the access token that Reddit has received from Google. The effect is that when you log in next time you end up at Google’s authorization screen when you have to explicitly give Reddit access again.
