I still don't get how those 1000 posts tallied with previous UUID would get correlated with the new UUID. If it's only source IP address or similar finger prints, those are relatively easy to get rid off, hide, renew.

(At least, when your goal is to do as many fake attestations as possible rather than use your device for something more useful)

The point is that you can flag accounts/uuids based on monthly attestation count alone, without correlating all the posts to a given account/uuid.
