I've been running an multiple accounts that automatically comment to mention a product. It worked fine for about a year, but now the accounts get banned after just a few weeks.

Is anyone else seeing this? Any workarounds?
 
Yes a lot of peoples are seeing the same thing Reddit has become much better at detecting automated and promotional behavior especially when multiple accounts repeatedly mention the same product or use similar patterns

Accounts that post too frequently have low engagement history or mainly exist to promote something tend to get flagged much faster now

Instead of relying on automation many marketers are focusing more on building aged accounts participating naturally in communities and only mentioning products when they genuinely fit the discussion

The workaround is usually to make the activity look more authentic but Reddit's detection systems have definitely become stricter over the last year
 
How often were the accounts posting or commenting? That could be a big factor.

Almost every day (just one neutral comment), promotional comments are 1 every 3 days or so.

This strategy worked for more than a year without problems
 
Unfortunately Reddit doesn't reward lazy AI/bot systems anymore, even human accounts can be tricky... this shit is stricter
 
maybe increase the ratio between comments that dont mention the product. Reddit could be detecting the rate the accounts mention it.

what are you using for automation? your own program?
 
I think that's only to be expected. It's very difficult to avoid Reddit's detection systems when using automated posting tools.
 
No doubt, nowadays reddit has become much better at detecting repetitive and automated behavior. Your strategy may worked for you around a year but now everything is completely changed. If multiple accounts follow the same patterns, it is not surprising they get flagged by reddit filters. You should focus more on genuine participation and mixing in normal activity instead of replying on automation.
 
Try different anti detect browsers, random human like delays, clean proxies.
 
I've noticed Reddit has become much stricter with automated activity. From what I've seen, accounts that rely heavily on auto-comments are more likely to run into issues over time. Focusing on genuine participation and following each community's rules has been a more sustainable approach.
 
Maybe start with manual first, don't start aggressive, especially on fresh account.

Yeah reddit's stricter nowadays at supervising accounts and their posts. I'm afraid there's no workaround.
 
That's quite a wide problem to have, but let's go through everything step-by-step. Firstly, you should see if your accounts on r/WhatIsMyCQS have a low CQS (Contributor Quality Score), in which case Reddit will continue shadow-deleting your posts and comments since they have little to no trust of you on their platform. There is nothing to do about it except make unique and valid comments and threads (not automated nor copy-pasted) with natural posting intervals.

The second thing that you should consider is whether your automation tool uses realistic behavior and technical signatures. For instance, such things as random mouse movements and scrolling play an important role here, as Reddit is very keen on detecting bots and will simply ban your account due to its suspicious activity.

Finally, the third and perhaps the most basic aspect – proxies. What you really need are rotating mobile proxies; otherwise, any residential or datacenter IPs will be instantly detected as proxies. For example, FloppyData has good rotating mobile proxies which work fine on Reddit platforms. Feel free to contact me for further questions.
Can i DM you for some questions?
 
I have a feeling that the problem is the ratio of promo to non-promo comments. I never post links, I just mention my product (The brand name is three regular english words.)

Last year, my product was unknown, so maybe Reddit recognizes it now and marks those posts as promotional?

I don't know. That's just my guess. Has anyone had a similar experience?

are you posting from mobile phones or antidetect browser? I have had bans recently on old established accounts on antidetect browser randomly
 
all the 'botted' stuff.........the techniques.. being exposed publicly are pretty much done.
