i wonder if it will impact existing accounts too?

another thing if its just an email or phone requirement then why dont they just change it now cause right now you dont need it
so if it was mrely just that they could change that literally instantly no need to wait to implmenet that part

Phone verification will cost me money

 

[blackhattersnew]

they could require that now. so its odd why they are making it seem like its some big announcement that takes months to do.

they could do that part months ago. or even years ago.

but maybe they will require that too in addition to other stuff but are just waiting?

I hope they won't start asking for IDs

is there a service that will do mass phone numbers that are new at reasonable cost? i dont think its even possible to do it on a mass scale of new numbers never used by reddit before for activation that wouldn't cost huge amounts of money per account?

You can use online virtual phone numbers the problem with those they can block those with reverification.To deal with that you need to buy a lots of sim cards which can be problem and the cost of maintaining them.When you buy too many sim cards it trigger suspicion you are running a phone farm.

I need 2000 accnts per year NEW. how practical would there be a wokaround using virtual numbers? lol

OK i dont need to reverify them i would just use the reddit accnt one time if i have to so to speak as long as its not constantly asking every login
but i still would need 2000 virtual numbers never used before per year just to register in that case lol

Are you are using a bot to run all of those accounts that is lot of accounts.

Manual

I just created almost 4000 in the last 6 months all are in good standing

 

[blackhattersnew]

Unlike everyone else i use mass quantity approach i have and need thousands of accnts. dont really care if it would require reverify as long as its not on a 2nd login or every login. ill just dump the accnt and move on once i get what i need out of it from the beginning dont need ot reuse it to the level everyone else here is doing
but thousands of virtual numbers never used by anyone wouldn't work either probably
so i think most of us would be screwed?

you have a lot of time on your hands

LOL keep in mind i was making 30K (and on path to make more) USD per month before the major changes in marhc 2024.
so i had huge incentive to spend a lot of effort and make things systemac

now my income has dropped alot since then but im in a rhythm and know how to do the workarounds so i keep up but its not as fun knowing im only making alot less now lol

you have a lot of time on your hands

it might come in useful if they dont change it on EXISTING accounts already done

by the time this is implemented i would be sitting on many thousands of accounts that were never used for spam and are in good standing lol

I was actualy gonna ramp up the speed of my registration a month ago cause i worried aobut something like this but it seemed like reddit got funny if i tried to get too crazy with how many i registered per day

you have a lot of time on your hands

i stand corrected i looked at my numbers its more like way less that number for on standyby never used for links yet and in good standing still
but i have registerd probably like almost 4000 in 6 months but not all of them survive

thats why with this online stuff you have to ALWAYS strike when the iron is hot. its the same story in all my years of doing this stuff everntually things change or evolve and eventually it becomes unfeasible. Reddit almost became like that last year but you had to do some workarounds just to get a fractionof the pie still. this could be hte final nail

CEO Spez announced more about this today. I think it could be good in some ways, it might kill a lot of your competition and others on the platform, however, they still need to keep users anonymous, as that’s the core idea of reddit. So they won’t require ID verification, instead, they will just make the filters stricter to detect and counter AI-generated content

Spez can do what spez wants
redditors will just bend over as usually
grumble and what not but ultimately take whatever spez throw at them
