How are Reddit UpVoting vendors providing their service?

[factory24]

The Reddit vendors, like the ones in the BHW marketplace, that are selling votes - how are they doing it?

Are they doing it with:
- software via Reddit API?
- software via bot, scraper etc. (in instead of Reddit API)?
- Phone farms?
- Crown sourcing?

 

[SeasonedCode]

there is no single method every seller uses something different but most of the bots either use browser automation
or depend on private API (Not official API provided by Reddit) either web or mobile API

 

[Kiemash]

Hardly anyone uses a phone farm because it would be far too expensive for the seller and the customer.
Some vendors I know use a private software [bot]

Can be mobile automation or browser automation

depends what works best for you based of your location, both are quite effective

but bear in mind that is way too much tricky and will take years of testing and studying it

Regarding "way too much tricky and will take years of testing and studying it" can't I just hire a dev to make it for me?

Not any dev can handle it

Your accounts might even get blocked

No, it wouldn't be worth it. Even if someone built one, these types of services require constant updates to function properly, so you'd have to hire someone to continually maintain your panel. There’s a reason the majority of panels just resell others' services.

Two years ago I had my own bot written in c# using private API. It had worked great with subreddit joining/following an user/voting a poll and commenting, but it never worked for upvotes/downvotes.

It's a lot more complex and expensive than it seems. You can hire someone but if they don't have experience with Reddit automation they will either give up or it'll take them forever to finish it.

Thanks!

A couple questions I want to ask you:
#1 - I spend 3 to 6K USD per month right now. Do you think it is worth making my own?

#2 - Is this the same case for automating comment and post publishing as well? I want to automate publishing posts and comments too.

#3 - Do you know any Dev that can do this?

#4 - How much would it cost to build? How often would it need to be maintained/fixed and what do you think that cost would be each year?

Yes, you are right about "if they don't have experience with Reddit automation they will either give up or it'll take them forever to finish it." Because I have a current dev that made several apps for different features using Reddit API but we were not able to figure out upvoting, which is what led me to asking BHW.

I have had some private chats with a few people who seem to think it is a walk in the park for a few hundred dollar fee, what do you guys think about that?!

That's quite a lot of money. I'd reach out to the panel you're currently working with and try to negotiate a better rate.

Thanks, I did that and pay 10 cents per vote.

Have spend around 80K usd over the past 2.5 years. That is why I am looking to build my own, take it in-house if it makes sense to do so. That is what I am trying to figure out right now.

Thanks, ya I already did, got a 25% reduction. Have spend around 80K usd over the past 2.5 years. That is why I am looking to build my own, take it in-house if it makes sense to do so. That is what I am trying to figure out right now.

I get where you're coming from. I'd start by testing as many providers as possible to see if any compare to your current provider in terms of speed and reliability. Then, begin negotiating the rate. You alone would outspend quite a few panels, so make it known that you're actively searching for the best deal. The issue with taking it in-house is that now you have to deal with both development and upkeep. What do you do when the program inevitably stops working? You're better off letting someone else handle those headaches, even if it means spending a little more.

For sure, thanks. I negotiated probably around a year ago, so I will take a look at all vendors now, since things may have changed.

Are there any vendors you recommend to look at?

Its a hard thing to build

I can build it

The issues is it requires a lot of support
1st = Reddit Spam filters ban randomly
2nd = The upvote might not stick
3rd = You burn a lot of proxies

But seems you have enough budget it could work

Ask for live demo where you see the bot upvote and the upvote works before any payment

Good luck

thanks, what sort of realistic budget do you think it would require?

Like i said to do the bot might not even take 1-5hrs the main thing is will it work

So you should budget from $300 - 2000

i have one coded i just need aged accounts and proxies and someone to basically 50/50 into it, i run 3 models and i spend around 3-6k usd on upvotes at 0.005 usd/upv. I need someone with as much or more models then me so the accounts dont only upvote the same 3 models thats why such services are being sold. So i need someone to spend 50/50 on aged accounts and mobile proxies, around 50-60 usd per proxy and minimum 10 proxies is needed and around 2-3k aged reddit accounts weekly is needed. dm me on telegram so we can discuss @addmeyall
