Here are the latest community stats in attachment. Community is around 8.6k followers.
In the mean time I have bought another community is the same niche, this one has 50k followers so I'm using it to push the smaller community as well.
I have also built a temp-email service which I'm using and planning to use automatically asap.

I have also started using account creator https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/reddit-auto-account-creator-2022-3-days-trial-and-more.1419879/
Works well, but doesn't confirm emails. I did pay the owner few bucks more to customize the app a bit and soon I hope to get the one which will be creating Reddit app automatically and send me the output with ID and secret. It's my first day of running this thing it, 24 hours didn't pass and it created more than 400 accs.

you seems addict to buy reddit tools jk
at least the tools is giving you great results
looks like you want scale to the moon
keep you good work and keep us with updates
 
This last purchase I need as a part of my puzzle, but seeing how valuable accounts get over time, it's a no brainer to set it up on a VPS and let it do it's job. I could easily fill those with karma as well. Looks like a money printing business, every account is 1$ after few months.

Is the account creating app using selenium ja chrome drive?

I had a problem of mass banns after 3 hours when creating these accs. I think the user agent etc were the problem.

How have you solved the problems of user agent?

I will try to build subreddits, accounts, karma, bots and I hope it will become a business in the end. If I reach the business level I will get my Jr tag again and start selling here on the marketplace, however I won't be selling my service before that so please do not contact me about it as it would be against the BHW rules.

Currently I have around 100 accounts from 1 - 400 karma, some few years old, some few months, some few days. I did get Incogniton browser Professional edition but soon I might need to move above 150 profiles. Then I hired a Ukrainian developer on Freelancer and got myself a bot which uses selenium to automate Incogniton for post upvotes/downvotes and comment upvotes/downvotes. I've spent 500$ on this thing but it works and my accounts are not getting banned for upvoting/downvoting and I manage to push my post to the top of 500k subreddit easily, and I haven't tested the full potential yet.

I did grow one NSFW subreddit in the last 2-3 weeks to around 800 subs. Not the best result if I compare with others posting here and claiming thousands new subs per day, but it's trial/error type of process to me as I need to learn Reddit boundaries and how it breaths before I can become stable without suspensions and shadowbans. But currently its going pretty well, around 100 new followers per day, I guess I'm getting a hang of it. In so far process of growing subreddit I would say crossposting is a way to go. I did try to spam comments with my community link but you will eventually get shadowbanned for that. Crossposting from other accounts (not from my personal which holds the mod position + few others) seems to give the results and I hope it will lessen the chances of the community getting banned at some point.

With current traffic of my subreddit I crosspost great posts in the niche to my community with new accounts and I'm manage to get around 10 -20 karma per post which helps me grow my accounts. Goal for the accounts is around 500 karma per account which combined with account age unlocks you doors to post/cross-post to almost all communities.

With proxies I did have a struggle and it's still in this trial/error stage for me. For example with InstantProxies I would get spam alerts all over the social media and google, I guess their ip's are spammed to death. Sometimes I would open a new Pinterest or Reddit account and not do anything with it but still get it banned I guess because those IP's are just used for eternity or by same users at the same time (even tho their support is telling otherwise ofc).
Then I've tried ProxySeller, also from BHW which has great IPv6 proxies which are mega cheap BUT Reddit doesn't support IPv6 so you need to use IPv4 which are expensive like 2$ a piece which drops few dozen cents for larger quantities. Therefor for the sake of the accounts health Ive decided to give it a try with residential proxies which are expensive but what I'm trying to do is block images/videos to try to same some bandwidth.
First I tried SmartProxy - too expensive for my needs.
Next one to try was Proxy-Cheap which has an dashboard with a delay around 1 day which means you cannot track anything there, you just lose all your GB at one point, also seemed to me like GBs are disappearing unrealistically to what I'm really spending.
StormProxies is what I'm currently trying. They delivered 3 non working residential proxies gateways and after 24 hours of waiting still no replacement. Support did respond to my ticket however after few hours of waiting by asking me this amazing question https://prnt.sc/2OEokzPI40p2 the remaining working ones are not the fastest but ok cheap.

I think I will have to go back to private proxies if Storm support doesn't pick it up.
If you have a way to upgrade my setup please let me know I would appreciate it.
I also hope you'll get some good tips from me as well.

Great read, thanks for sharing. But what's the end goal? how are you planning to monetize this, are you going to sell the accounts? sell upvotes etc etc. Im also assuming you run the bot on a vps, is that the case?
 
Any updates?
You do lots of work and money spent but how you monetize it?

How you motivate yourself without seeing income from all this?
 
My reddit accounts keep getting banned, I'm thinking it is a problem with proxies.

I use storm proxies at the moment. Cheap and slow but does the job.

My commenting script should be done in a next day or two I hope, this should solve my karma automation.
Then the next one is cross-posting script which I'll need as my list of crossposting subs is pretty big already and it's becoming time consuming to cross post.
Community passed 2500 subs, the activity is nice, it's pretty much self going already.

Are you using Selenium to comment on posts/replies? If so, where do you get the reply?

No, I'm using a python script for commenting.

Here is a little update, I haven't posted in a while as I haven't been doing much on the subreddit. I think I might start crossposting more seriously again these days.
Subreddit is at around 22k atm growing pretty much on auto pilot.

I've started growing a Twitter page using sticky comment and sidebar button. It's on 140 followers atm, growing around 10 followers a day.
Current monetization is running through welcoming message and sidebar linked images.
