Reddit Upvote business potentiality. Do you have any experience?

[blackcommoner]

Hi friends,

I have already developed a bot which can upvote very quickly. Like within 2-3 mints it can give 100-200 votes. I am now working on banning issue, and will be solved very quickly.

Can you please share me your experience on this service business or as a buyer how much you are spending now for upvote, downvote or comment?


Thanks in advance!



N:B: Please do not ask me about bot, it is not for sale. Also i am already in talking about JV with someone from here. So i am not asking any JV too right now. If fail with him, i have a plan for JV too in future. But not now.

I believe you are using headless / http request for reddit. You are in for a long banning issues. If you could figure out a way to provide quality service you will make lots of money

I know about banning issue, and i can fix it.
But what you mean by "lots of"?
Actually i just wanted to know if i start with 2k accounts with 100-200 karma in each, how many order can i expect??

I wouldn't pay more than 0.03 per upvote from an "expendable" accout. If the accounts have proper comment karma, it can go fot 0.15+
Upvoting posts get go for a bit higher.

The amount of orders you will make depends on the quality of your service. Samething goes for every type of buisness. You should strive to keep all your customers which will only be possible if the quality of your upvoting system is very good else you won't get repeat orders. If the quality is bad they will only try once and never comes back again.

Those you don't mind tossing away after a few orders. Fresh accouts with low comment karma.

I got it. But is there any difference between upvote from high karma or low karma account?

I have a bit research on reddit algorithm and got that, this has not a significant or no difference for upvote.
Maybe for a fresh account with a very low karma has algorithm block (i do not have data on that, just guess)

As the purpose of upvote is to stay on top of subreddit, so can you please share your thinking why high karma is matter here? You infect can not see who gave you upvote.

It's night and they. Buy some upvotes from a microworker site and see for yourself. You'll need hundreds of these to compete with 20-30 upvotes from hq accounts.

Nice information. But i really have doubt on that. Cause the "TOP" really depends on timing.
However, as you have experience on that i agree with you, and i will give it a test will share the result to the community.

Test it out, I found myself needing 250+ upvotes of subreddits where the top posts only needed 50-60. My timing was great, too.. I know about timing and that you need to upvote as soon as the post is up, it wasn't the problem there.

Do you struggle with bans but of accounts that upvote or accounts that get those upvotes?

There is definitely a difference between high karma accounts and low karma accounts, but age also plays a big role.
For example if high karma account (aged) upvotes some post, it is almost certain that it will be counted as a legit upvote, but with low karma accounts (also aged) there is big chance that it would not count the upvote.
This is done to prevent shady, new and inactive accounts to do vote manipulation.

thanks for information.

Also to go with your word:
Aged low karma accounts vs new high karma accounts. You think who will win?

I would say low aged karma accounts (from 50-200), as you can get karma easily (and reddit knows this) but you can't just age accounts, you need to wait months. That is why aged accounts are more priced than high karma new accounts.
