Hi everyone, thanks for starting this thread.
I’ve been testing this model in my spare time as well mainly promoting adult content through affiliate links.
Right now I’m using a setup based on creating accounts + uploading videos with a small watermark (soft branding) which then redirect via external links. I can confirm the method works but content production and scheduling take quite a bit of time.
Now I’m trying to focus on social distribution specifically on X (formerly Twitter) since I’ve noticed there’s already a lot of this type of content on the platform and i’d like to test posting there as well.
I’m creating accounts with a basic warm up process (gradual activity, interactions, delays between actions, etc.) trying to keep everything as organic as possible. Despite that all my accounts end up shadowbanned after a short time.
What I’m seeing is:
- Reach drops hard (almost zero impressions)
- Content doesn’t get properly indexed
- Visibility in threads and search is very limited or basically zero
Also there’s no official notification I can only detect it using external tools or browser extensions.
From a technical standpoint I’ve already tested a few setups:
- Same machine
- Each account on a different residential IP (no proxies, all public IPs)
- Access to a fairly large IP subnet
- Also tested across 60 VMs, each with a clearly distinct IP
Regardless of the setup the result is always the same after a few days the ban consistently shows up.
Has anyone here managed to post this kind of content successfully?
Does anyone have insight into how X handles account checks or moderation on this?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience.
