Reddit bot detection

[JWASQ]

How good are reddit at detecting bots?

FYI: I am not using these accounts for upvoting.

All of my accounts have now been shadowbanned although the bot I am using hasnt done anything out of the ordinary.

I used ipv4 proxies from proxy6.

I also ensure each account has seperate fingerprints.

They're going to kill us.

I'll take that as they're good?

As you can see they're pretty darn good.

I thought I may have given it away somehow which someone may know about.

Vote correlation, webrtc, IP leak, screen res, screen canvas, account behavior patterns (no human comments) and so on.

As far as I know, Reddit is pretty strict with bots. Sorry, I think you’re going to have to find another way. Is hiring people to manage multiple accounts a viable option for you?

Reddit does not have good detection for individual bots. I have a couple of different bots using a couple of different methods to split test exactly this and honestly - they don't seem to give a shit. I've tested ones that are being clever about against ones that stick out like a sore thumb if they really look at them - and they both run fine.

What they are good at is spotting patterns between accounts. Upvotes, comments, subs or whatever else you can do to link them. If you're doing this on a big scale you'd need a lot of accounts to keep the footprint between them down and mix in some random actions.

They've also recently become much better at spotting the common type of accounts people have used for this kind of thing. I've spoken to two providers who took a beating over the last week and I'm sure there's more out there. And, from what I gather, they used to really not care about proxies unless you were taking the complete piss. I think this has changed now as well.

Edit: Ghosting could be down to your proxies (potentially) or you might be leaving a fingerprint they're looking at (depending on your bot). It also might be your accounts if your provider had a leak or you're looking too botlike on fresh ones.

Could you PM me which bots you use? I have tried out Socinator and it's absolutely horrendous, never works. I am talking to their support 24/7 and even they cannot make it work.

I don't use reddit for upvotes, I've tried my best to ensure there is no leak in account creation and botting with regards to connectivity and fingerprints.

I would recommend manual upvotes/downvotes .It works much better that bot services,because using bots will lead not only to the ban of your accounts,but it may lead to the perma-ban of your targeted domain in case they detect the pattern you are using.

Using bots that open to the public can be recognized easy. the patterns are all the same over thousands of clients who use the same services. and reddit become clever. However, if you use a private bot with unique fingerprint and no leaks, you can play the long term game. It's a game of budget and resources. I would recommend to do it just like DR Reddit Sayid.

I don’t use it for upvotes, I’m also not worried about the domain issue you stated as I’ve hoy that base covered.

I was looking into have a custom bot built but the cost is quite high for an unknown outcome, trying something completely new. High risk, unknown pay off.hmm

it involves risks and sometimes you jump on a train that you are not 100% sure will lead you to the right station but once you there you can triple-double. it's more of a question about how much you are willing to risk and taking risks that will not erase your total capital.

Nicely said. When I began this journey I decided I am not going to invest a huge amount as I don't see it being a long term stable income. For that reason I am not planning to get a custom made bot. This may be the end

May I know why this was your attitude from the beginning?

The project I am working on, I do not believe it can last very long, I don't know what the outcome will be, if it does provide $ it would not be stable + it would take an extreme amount of effort to scale it. So i have to balance my time, money and effort

May i know what you need exactly?

Do you know if Facebook has any of theese things?

The thing with bots is that they still don't show much natural behavior. They don't sit and browse random threads for a while before finding one to type a relevant response. They don't upvote and downvote threads of various areas. They don't really engage with other people naturally.

Reddit is not so good at detecting bots itself, but they are getting good at detecting unnatural behaviors.
