do subreddit growth providers make high profit margins?

I've been looking on the marketplace for subreddit growth services and they are charging astronomically high amounts. is it expected that buyers negotiate down the rate or get heavy discounts on long term work because who's actually paying for these services lol. its made me consider whether i should get into the subreddit growth service space (disclaimer: I am not currently a seller on BHW so i'm not trying to shill any services lol) because i've grown subs before in the past to 200k weekly visitors, 10k+ weekly contributions and cost me about 1/1000 the price of what these providers are charging.
so I guess my question is what is a reasonable price that you would pay for say guaranteed 50k real organic weekly visitors and is there any demand for something like this?

also to add to this: do you think subreddit growth services are on the rise since upvote panels no longer work?

Yes, margins can be high, but it’s unstable and depends on service quality.

Negotiation does happen in long-term deals, but serious buyers are usually paying for consistency and accountability rather than raw numbers alone.

is this talking from experience

convinced BHW is just AI slop now lol

Subreddit growth doesn't really seem like a service with a lot of demand honestly. I really don't know anyone who does it successfully (which doesn't mean there isn't someone). If you've already grown subreddits to 200k+ weekly visitors, I seriously doubt anyone here knows more than you. Subreddits with those numbers are probably in the top 0.01% of all subreddits.

If I were you, I would create the strategy myself, write in detail SOPs, and then hire a virtual assistant who will do it for you. That's what I do for my tasks. Strategy is all me, and then VAs just follow my directions.

I don’t think so. It’s not easy to maintain subreddit growth services because Reddit has very strict policies. The loss of accounts over time can significantly reduce profits.

Yes, people who do subreddit growth services can make money, but it’s not easy money.The truth is that simply growing a subreddit on Reddit isn’t enough clients actually pay for engagement, trust, and real community building, not just numbers.
Money is made where:
An active audience is built in a niche
Posts actually generate discussion and traffic
And the subreddit doesn’t look “dead” but rather growing

There are still many people but most of them just make AI posts to farm traffic or rep here... sadly

it's likely that providers enjoy high profit margins, especially considering the potential for significant markups compared to the actual cost of acquiring users. Negotiation is probably expected, and the demand for guaranteed organic growth at a reasonable price

If you can consistently grow subs without triggering Reddit paranoia, you’re probably undervaluing your skill

The truth is, margins can be very high, but it's not as easy as it seems, real profitability doesn't come from buying and selling individual accounts, but from scaling services or building your own tools.

For example, there are platforms that charge a monthly membership fee for plans that include automation and analytics, the cost of operating that type of service is low once the system is up and running, but the development and maintenance work is what costs money, most of the real revenue comes from the few who pay, but when you start charging, each new client represents almost pure profit, those who really make money aren't the ones who buy low and sell high, but those who create solutions to help brands grow, there are specialized consulting firms that generate six figure deals simply by creating discussion threads and strategically participating in existing conversations, so yes, there's profit potential, but it's not a business of buying low and reselling high, but of building something that lasts.
