I was considering reddit for traffic but after this I'm kind of glad I backed off at the moment. I want to know what the ban wave was for as well?

This is the weird thing. THey dont spam.
Reddit is just banning everything currently.
I think they just want to control who has the resources.
I know people who literally just wake up and try to entertain people through clip-farming content as a hobby................ doesn't matter. They are banning everything.
I lost 3 accounts recently and i've never lost a group of accounts in nearly 10 years. The oddest thing, they give no reason, I wasn't spamming.
You can still make marketing worth it however. I just thinkg investing 'time' into reddit is the problem now
I think this will rev up spamming and make them lose serious content spreaders

Actually I trying to weigh all of my options for getting organic traffic through social as the starting line but after the fiasco with X(Musk takover) and now reddit I'm glad In started reconsidering. This what you are now reporting is not reassuring at all...
Thanks however for the heads up.

yeah noticed it too, seems like they cracking down on anything automated or too aggressive. the aged accounts thing is real, older profiles with history are harder to nuke instantly. been using private proxies and rotating them more now, seems to help but reddit getting too risky these days with how unpredictable the bans are

What's really weird though. I overlooked this case.
They banned EVERYTHING and EVERYONE in these subreddits
The content went from like 100k posts to less than 100 . That's insane.

Accounts are often banned because users fail to follow the platform's policies. It's better to follow Reddit's rules rather than trying to find ways around them for profit.

This is a lousy take. Reddit has itself expressly permitted you can make promo comments, provided you don't go overboard and actually contribute more generally.
I was doing this for 18 months, was pretty successful at it, no problems, bans or shadow bans. Suddenly it changes, no warning, account banned with no reason given. My account was eight years old. An appeal was ignore too.

Bogus. Reddit just banned a house filled with digital nomad nerds who just curate content for past time. There was no spam
On top of that, they banned a ton of users on the group too LOL
By this time next year. Nobody will care about reddit at this pace , except people who just go in and straight spam.
Mark my words on this date. Come back in 1 year and remind me.

Reddit doesn't even take their own rules seriously.
Lol I think you're on the wrong forum.

What irks me about this is the arbitrary nature of it. If my posts were generally unrelated spam, why were they allowed for 18 months? And why did I get thousands of people to my site as a result if my posts were so unhelpful in Reddit's eyes?
If they want to make money, then let people pay to make posts in a thread and limit the number per thread if they're so concerned with threads being overrun.
Forums can make money, but not the billions of dollars reddit thinks they can make. Banning everyone and forcing people to sign up when they just want to read on their mobile browser, isn't going to work in the long run. They're gonna be left with people trying to spam, and people who are already obsessed with reddit who don't click on ads anyway, and actively hate them.
Trying to compete with tiktok and meta is going to fail too, people use reddit for text based communication, they don't want it to be yet another infinitie scroll video platform. There's already plenty of places for people to go to for that.

I've told people this, forever on this forum.
Reddit is a resource ran with gatekeepers governing everything and was always set up for this
The top groups are designated to a small group of people and the money to be made from them, goes to those people. I dont know if the gatekeepers are direclty linked to the creators but it wouldnt' surprise me.
They know subreddits are a resource and do not want to allow others the opportunity to dilute the treasure on the site..
I have a few accounts left . Im debating if i want to sell the business and just focus on something new.
Reddit stuff sucks compared to what Crypto was lol I transferred a handfull of forums yesterday and thought it's good to make a little money, I just thought ............. is it really worth all the work I put in to manually do these profiles? Definitely not. I'm just being lazy not looking at new avenues.

Yeah, I noticed something similar today. A few accounts that normally seem pretty stable were suddenly hit, which makes me wonder if Reddit has changed something behind the scenes.
Could be a wider ban wave, but I think it's too early to tell whether it's a temporary purge or a broader crackdown. Definitely worth keeping an eye on over the next few days.
