Comment karma is hard when you’re a spammer. When you’re a redditor yourself who understand the hivemind it is easy. Redditors always repeat the same jokes or same comments. They are so repetitive sometimes, I wonder if you could use machine learning to create artificial redditors.
This would be pretty easy to write yourself if you know some python. Also that way you could be more subtle about the way the bot comments, not just “spamming” blindly.
How did you grow the subreddit? Would you mind sharing which part of the POS you didn’t comply with. For example: using multiple accounts to cheat upvotes, using multiple account to circumvent a ban in another subreddit, getting too many reports from users, etc.
OP, chasing karma is pretty pointless, what you want is subscribers to your subreddit. While posting to gain subscribers you will also gain karma but it’s not a goal by itself.
Think of the subreddit as a twitter account or a facebook page, it’s complementary to your blog, not its own thing. Ultimately the only thing that you own is your blog (domain name and content).
The time and ressources you spend farming user accounts and upvotes could have been spent growing your own subreddits organically or semi-organically.
User accounts are worthless, subreddits are digital assets, as long as they don’t grow too big (then they totally belong to Reddit not to you).
Like you said hobbyist communities are friendlier, and he respected the rules of engagements: he showed that he is part of the group by contributing highly specialized knowledge, and then posted the links by mentioning he wrote them himself.
It is always the same jokes that get repeated and upvoted ad vomitam. Find them and you are golden.
If you spend enough time on reddit, the hivemind will penetrate you.
If you don’t cheat with upvotes, and don’t spam other people´s subs, Reddit doesn’t care if you have multiple accounts. Basically as long as you stay contained within your own subreddits you’re good to go, you don’t need to use proxies.
