It's tougher for new users, but I can understand why. Without those limits, a lot of communities would probably get flooded with spam.

Yeah, Reddit is definitely harder for new accounts now. The restrictions are annoying, but they help keep spam away. New users just need to spend some time engaging before jumping into posting.

I have definitely felt Reddit being much more strict, but I think that it is mostly due to the increase of spamming and lazy self-promotion. New members usually fare better when they take some time to study each subculture before posting anything.

Reddit can be difficult for new users at first. you should just read the rules, join discussions and build some karma. after that it becomes easier.

It’s definitely gotten harder, many subs now require karma thresholds or account age limits before posting. It helps reduce spam, yes, but for new users it means you need to engage gradually and learn each community’s rules before jumping in.

I think Reddit is a little harder for new users now. The rules are stricter because of spam, but it can feel confusing when you are just trying to join a conversation.

It's both difficult and expensive. But it can be very useful in terms of generating leads.
Be sure to buy aged accounts, use mobile proxies (don't forget to change your IP), and use anti-detection tools. Let the account warm up for a few days with normal activity after purchase, and everything will be fine.
