I have already sent a GDPR request to Reddit and they refuse to comply.

I asked them to delete everything they have about me, including my account and they told me that I need to login into reddit and ask it from there which:

I don't have to since GDPR says that I can even do it verbally and I don't even have to write to a specific email, I can just let any employee of that company that I want this and they should honor it.
They straight up don't even have the option to delete your data there, since I requested for the complete erasure of my data as that is also in my rights.

Reddit literally refuses to comply with GDPR rules and tonight after work I am going to lodge a formal complain about GDPR violations as I do have proof of this in my emails.

Fuck Reddit I hope it crashes and burns.

How much could they get fined for this?

But even the catalogue of less severe violations in Art. 83(4) GDPR sets forth fines of up to 10 million euros, or, in the case of an undertaking, up to 2% of its entire global turnover of the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher.
