What's the oldest reddit account you have? Does it exhibit any benefits with reach or anything?

My oldest is 9 years old (going on 10).

Yes, my own personal account. I registered many accounts years ago when i was lost to reddit and i dig tthem up when I need something new. So there were gaps in usage maybe twice.

I honestly don't see it getting great benefits on reach just on age alone . Its' better than new accounts but if the account has let's say 2 years and active, always getting engagement, it doesn't tend to outrank much.

HOWEVER< if i stop posting for aweek on both , then make a post ... Yeah, the age seems to get more benefits by far. It seems like reddit gives you a 'welcome back' boost

Aged Reddit accounts can have some advantages, but age alone is not the biggest factor. Reddit mainly looks at account history, karma, engagement quality, posting behavior and how naturally the account participates in communities. i would say the best-performing accounts are usually aged accounts with a natural history.

Wow 9 years is amazing. Mine is 11 months old. My main account was banned lol. I need to understand the limits and what is triggering specific actions / words.

I was actaully wrong . My oldest acount is 13 years old.

I just wasn't paying attention.

The only real benefit i see of it though is that I think reddit 'respects' the old ones with activity through the years on it. Kinda like a credit score.

Oldest one is currently 16 years old but it is my main account I don't post much on it.
The one that is "monetized" is 9 years that one has over ~2.5k posts/comments on it and has few subreddits.

The main benefit would be that any comment/post made with it is usually always up. Also with those old ones I can post I feel like over 50-100 posts a day without issues, which with newer ones with warmup could be possible but much harder.

As for reach like yourself I haven't really noticed any difference that reddit boosts posts that are made by aged accs. It would kind of make sense that reddit would push content from older users but I haven't really noticed it much.
Some newer accs I have sometimes outperform those old ones by a lot.

Though when it comes to being reported there age plays a big difference you can tank much more reports without being banned. Newer ones are more fragile on that part 100%.

You're doing good with the Reddit earn program?

Nah I've seen people post their abysmal earnings with the program when it came out, so I didn't bother. Most monetization comes from owning subreddits though, much better to spend energy there than on farming posts for pennies.

I haven't check the program recently those stats were from like late 2024 early 2025 maybe they have improved it.
