Are aged high-karma Reddit accounts becoming more valuable after the recent bans?

With Reddit becoming more aggressive about spam deletion, account filtering and subreddit moderation, it feels like aged accounts with strong karma and natural posting history are becoming much more valuable than they were a year ago.

For those actively working with Reddit have you noticed a significant difference in performance between aged established accounts and newer ones? Are older high-karma accounts now essential for consistent posting and visibility or can well-managed newer accounts still archive similar results with the right approach?

Older accounts with good karma and a natural history usually have an easier time, especially with subreddit filters. But well-managed newer accounts can still do well if they're active, build karma naturally and don't rush into posting or promotion.

totally agreed
 
Yeah, aged account definitely help, especially with subreddit filters and trust. But I have also seen newer account do well when they are used naturally and not pushed too hard.

For me, account quality matters more than just account age
 
Of course? Aged, high-karma accounts have absolutely become essential insurance policies against Reddit's aggressive automated spam filters, because while a meticulously managed new account can still technically archive visibility, it operates on a razor-thin margin of error where a single rapid action or submod report will trigger an instant, permanent shadowban
 
yes reddit account with good karma are definitely performing better than recent stricrer moderation but well managed accounts can still get good results if they are used carefully and build up properly
 
No! Seems like they easily now detected even older farmed, karma accounts.

Not entirely convinced. I had two Reddit accounts that were around 3 years old with decent karma. One got caught in spam filtering by mistake, and the other was banned after being linked to the same IP. From what I have seen, account age and karma help, but they definitely don't make an account safe or guarantee visibility.
 
Every platform is upgrading their spam filter system, and Reddit is one of the top active platforms in the list. If someone is going to do one normal user-like post and then going to do the next marketing post, they are highly likely to get caught.

That makes sense. I’m curious though, for newer accounts, what do you think is the biggest trust signal Reddit looks at first? Is it mostly karma, or does comment history inside the same subreddit matter more now?
 
it was never about karma. It was always about age. Karma is necessary where subreddits have filters. I had high karma accounts banned just because i triggered the spam filter somehow. But with aged account, 70% of the time I got away while spamming.
