I ran an ADB anti detect browser + rotating residential proxy setup for a while and it stopped working last year.
At the height I has 2,000 accounts on this setup. I currently have 1,200 browsers on the same setup. 20 reddit accounts are still live and actively used. It seems that those 20 just have good browser fingerprints and they slipped through the cracks, those are an anomaly and not a good enough ratio to run an operation and team payroll on. After ADB stopped working, I tried a bunch of things, got hundreds of (mostly in-house built) accounts banned and I tried warming up the browser for several days before going to reddit and once on reddit doing nothing (no upvotes/comments/posts) for 2-4 weeks and as soon as you upvoted or commented after a month of warm up the account got banned. IDK, I guess other people are figuring out how to run ADB in here, I could not.
Over the years, I've bought and built from scratch thousands of accounts, no automation ever, just a team.
Last year I was building an automation bot, was very close to having it finished and then Reddit put a stop to all basic setups, basic as in selenium/playwrite type setups, that does not work anymore. Automation can be done, but your setup has to be all custom coded (like how the top upvote vendors are doing).
I think ADB are over for Reddit.
I think if you get them to work, they are very fragile. Your whole operation is on thin ice, it seems to me from my experience and understanding of all this.
I read in here people that still say ADB are working for them, I bet you can get them to work with finding the right browser fingerprint and proxy, until Reddit finds a way to block it.
Does anyone feel differently about ADB?
No hate, all respect but... I always see a lot of comments in all the reddit post about this topic (not just here) saying "oh just do this" automation this, anti detect browser that, oh that will work just do that. Is automation and/or anti detect browsers really working for you?! How many accounts are you running? Don't say stuff unless you really do know from experience.
