Does reddit take into account image metadata?

[GreenHorse]

Hi, so I've recently been getting banned on all my reddit accounts. I've been using an antidetect browser, warming them up for 4-5 days, posting sfw images on the profile first, using a high quality clean residential proxy but as soon as I post, even if it's on a small subreddit, I get banned. Anyone know why? I'm starting to suspect they look into the image metadata.

UPDATE: Tried to remove the metadata and post on a small subreddit with an account I had been warming up. Still got banned again

As you find out image metadata might create some flags, but to an established/trustworthy account that should at the most just remove the post.

Maybe you're managing the accounts correctly, but how they were created is also an essential factor, you might need to refine creation.

That's the thing, I purchase aged accounts from https://redaccs.com/, they're really high quality

I doubt reddit is paying close attention to image metadata. I see many reusing images with no problems.

Reddit does pay close attention to user behavior (not properly warming up) and IPs. Buying something expensive does not mean its high quality. Test by slowing warming up an account and doing no promotion/link drop. See if you still are being banned. Double check that you aren't leaking any browser information or reusing the same fingerprint.

Yeah, Reddit's been cracking down hard lately. If you're using the same images across accounts, it's possible they’re looking at metadata, especially if it’s been reused. Try stripping the metadata with a tool like ExifCleaner before posting. Also, check if you're posting too frequently or if your accounts look too "bot-like" to mods. Maybe switch up the content style a bit and spread out your activity across different subs. Could be a mix of things. Basically try a few premium accs - you ll get info like if its an account or proxy problem. gl

It's not likely that images would cause an issue but more likely that it's a factor in a big pool of things they look for so you're not wrong with fixing the issue

I think the problem are more likely old accounts suddenly coming to life triggering some blocks. For image, you could possibly use imgur so you can rule out the image metadata being the issue.

You should probably stick to comments for some time before posting threads.

Were you successfully doing the same things before and only now are getting banned? If proxies and device fingerprints are good then more likely it's behavior patterns that get you banned, as in, if the reddit accounts have been inactive for a long time, created in a different location and suddenly come to life. And while image metadata is less likely, it's still possible so try as others already suggested - remove it.
