February 2025 marked a catastrophic turning point in the Reddit ecosystem: the platform aggressively ramped up its spam filters, making effective work nearly impossible.

In this guide, I will share my experiences and debunk common myths surrounding Reddit accounts.
Origin of This Guide: This guide was inspired by a Telegram message from someone trying to sell me Reddit accounts supposedly over five years old. He showed me an account and asked how much karma I wanted. I said 100 karma. He offered 1000 or more. "Perfect, let's proceed." An hour later, the account was banned. When I informed him, he said, "Wait, I'll restore it via email" (the account was flagged for suspicious activity and required email verification). This account had 1,200 POST KARMA! Impressive on paper, but can you build an account with Comment Karma that way? No, you can't.
This incident reinforces the theory I've always advocated: do not buy accounts with only post karma (often artificially upvoted). Instead, buy accounts with comment karma, which are far more valuable as they indicate natural, conversational activity. Also, avoid old accounts with massive karma totals—they are typically sold with a pre-assigned email, and you have no idea how many times they've been suspended and reinstated.

My verdict: an account with a temporary/disposable email is often more valuable. Why? If an account linked to a disposable email is flagged for suspicious activity, it usually can't be recovered—which ironically proves it hasn't been repeatedly "cleaned." Once the account is yours, you can always change the email. I typically purchase from sites like signals sh and rakumm com

Manual account creation is undoubtedly the safest route. However, for me, it's never been practical due to time and cost. Properly "aging" a new account requires significant investment in reliable proxies, and achieving what I consider a viable age (over two months, and certainly not just a few days) takes considerable time.

The Warm-Up Process​

There are countless theories here. Here’s my method:
  1. I join an NSFW subreddit.
  2. On my next visit, I begin replying to existing comments in NSFW subs, posting one comment every 4-5 hours until I have about 10 replies.
    At this point, my account is considered "warmed up" and ready for action. I still don't fully understand why, but NSFW subreddits seem to be less aggressively policed by Reddit's initial spam filters.

Proxy, Fingerprint & Cookies​

  • Proxies: I use rotating residential proxies and switch countries strategically. For example, if I use a European proxy, I'll wait a couple of days before switching to a US-based one, performing a minor warm-up action when I do.
  • Fingerprint & Cookies: Wherever possible, I maintain the same browser fingerprint and cookies from the account's creation. This is why I prefer to buy accounts that include their original cookies and fingerprint data. As noted in a previous post, you don't need external cookies; Reddit's own session cookies are sufficient.




What I've written here is based entirely on my personal experience. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck to everyone.

thankyouuuu as always your posts are interesting. Now I understand why I don't get karma posting so easily like the accounts I buy.

Has it been difficult to find sellers that provide the fingerprint? Also, which browser tools allow for bulk importing of a fingerprint + cookie? What tools do you use? Thanks for sharing and your time, I'm willing to pay for this knowledge, I appreciate it a ton!

So just a 2-3 day warm up, then you can start ramping up with no issues?

Both of the ones I mentioned provide the cookies; all anonymous browsers allow cookie import.
 
Does activating 2FA on accounts help or simply create a footprint?

Email and 2FA for some reason just don't seem to contribute much to the account's quality. I've had accounts with email + 2FA verification yet that didn't prevent the spam filter from automatically shadowbanning. It seems like IP quality is the biggest factor in determining account's integrity.

Honestly, it's all a mystery. I also bought the xproxy equipment with UDP support, I think it's the best on the market, and I swear I'm working better with rotating residential proxies (on a monthly rotation). I believe the fingerprint has a bigger impact right now. But, let's say, a ban is always lurking; I think it's impossible to work without getting banned.

One thing I’m curious about is long-term stability. Have you seen accounts that survive fine for months but then suddenly get hit after scaling activity? Feels like Reddit sometimes delays action, so I wonder if early success is actually misleading.

I can simply tell you that my personal 10-year-old account was banned from Reddit over a tiny mistake. With the arrival of Reddit Ads, it’s becoming harder and harder to work consistently on Reddit. You must not get attached to accounts—sooner or later they will be banned. That’s why my advice is not to waste time and to buy accounts that are only a few months old, which cost less.

thanks for sharing your tips. will keep this in mind.
 
It’s always a pleasure to share.
 
As I was advised on the site where I buy the accounts, now after a week I can assure you that the IP location isn’t that important. I set up 100 accounts with 2 comments per day, using random proxies from Italy, Germany, France, and Spain. I’m at 0 bans!!! It’s still vitally important, before doing any action, to participate at least a couple of times in the subreddit you’re interested in.

Interesting. Same ASN but different locations? Or both different?

Ran similar tests - same ASN across EU resi pools + random geo didn’t spike bans for me either - Reddit seems way more tolerant on geo mismatch than people think - what mattered was clean residential, stable session + not hopping IP every action. When I mixed ASNs aggressively it got janky faster, especially during first 7-10 days - so same ASN + rotating cities worked cleaner than full random soup.
 
Thank you for your valuable insights. I am moving toward using Reddit to market my products. Your knowledge has helped me greatly improve the way I develop and protect my Reddit account.
 
in my opinion and experience accounts that can actually make posts and have post karma are more solid that accounts with only comment karma

most of the reddit accounts use to comments and have comments karma

for your issue - is normal a change on region / ip and it trigger the suspicios activity on reddit also changing email or password does do it - so is pretty normal

also reddit does not check at all the domain name of your email - it is a private information and is hashed on their ends

You should never hash an email address. A hash by definition is one way, so if they hashed an email address they would never be able to send an email without the user first typing their email address, which I can assure you is not the case.
