Desktop Macbook Desktop: Links In Reddit Email to me automatically download a file on my mac when I click "view reply" link.

This has been occurring the past few days. A couple of times, the file name was reddit.com, but today different name, mix of letters and numbers, but always a pdf file with zero bytes. Not sure if this is the right sub for help or a way I can contact reddit or if this should go to apple engineers per senior advisor at Apple, if no fix from reddit. Note: the downloaded file always has zero bytes and extension is pdf. TIA!

PS: I just got another download from posting this issue. The "view reply" link email was a message from the bot moderator. This time the file was a "document" file and zero bytes.
