Are you doing posts or comments only? With or without links?
Are Reddit account fillters getting stricter in 2026?

I’m doing both posts and comments, with and without links.

That's great. Well done. So your posts with links are not getting removed? Can you share what is the average account profile (age + karma)? And is that domain you're linking high authority and reputation?

Some of them get removed, of course. It depends on the subreddit and what I post. Sometimes I have to edit the post and add the link afterward. The average age is over two years, and karma ranges from 13 to 5K. I link to two domains, one with high authority and one without. So it’s a mix.

I just made a test, I bought a couple of accounts, one is 4k karma, organic grown, excellent activity, but 1m old only and the other one is 1k karma and 1 year old, just a few posts, spammy look. I posted a link to my new website, both times added in edit after few minutes, different subreddits. It was removed after 1 hour on 1 month old and it's still up after 3 hours on 1 year acc. So the age could be the benefit. This was a test on Macbook Pro. I tried with a few posts without links at all on PC and they were removed after 2 minutes which means that accounts are already flagged and they're probably finished. The best solution probably is to farm accounts manually from scratch, 2-3 accs per one IP.

Of course, age always matters, but did you check the CQS scores of those accounts? That’s also a big factor in some subreddits, so don’t rely just on age and karma.

yeah, i've noticed that too. it seems like Reddit is paying more attention to the overall pattern of activity rather than just whether a single comment looks normal, so an account can get filtered even when the individual posts don't seem particularly suspicious
Regarding the 6-month-old accounts I mentioned that I bought empty, I’m not using them for links, only for comments. For links, the amount of karma isn’t important. I don’t understand people who buy accounts with even 1k post karma — it’s obvious that it was upvoted.
I use accounts with around 100 comment karma; that’s enough as long as they have at least 10 activities on the account. I do a couple of warm-up rounds in the subs I’m interested in, then I post a few comments, usually 4–5. After a few days, I add the link to one of those comments.

keep us updated. my accnts are well over 6 months old and even with no previous promotion activity it didnt help me on edits.
how many warmups in the past did they have . and was it over a year they did them slowly?

I’ve noticed that ever since Reddit started using AI to moderate content, things have become much stricter.

its a lost cause for the amount youll be able to squeak by in the end its not worth the the amount of work involved.
the amount of bans and removals i had to do just to get a measley 2 links as straight up link drops not edits that wound up sticking (edits are no longer working at all) through isnt worth it so i gave up
i think the only way to do reddit at this point is to completly hold off and hope in the fuutre someday see if they ever roll back the algorithms cause its too strict
but i thought they were gonna do that a year or 2 ago either stop making them stricter or roll them back cause i thought surely they cant make them worse and sure enough they made it so bad now its basically impossible
have you thought of doing a written comment for the link instead so just say domain . com as text in teh comment? conversions will be drmatically lower but i guess its someting
this would only work for one of my niches and with low conversions it would be a lot of work for not much money so i wont bother

I don't think I can do it with the domain as text instead of the link. I might try do posting for couple of hours until the filter remove it, depends on the acc shadowban rate. I also might try Reddit ads to see how good conversion will be. I don't know if I verify domain with Reddit Pro, maybe that will put the website on the whitelist, what do you think about that?

like i said i promote domains that are the most used sites on the internet (think like the top few on the internet thats how big they are)
reddit filters them out now but was allowing them no problem before september so it wont help if you think you can start makign your domain trustworthy

This link drop method is cooked now for me. I had a micro worker drop one yesterday, four year old account with tons of karma, and it was instantly nuked.
That could be due to that particular phrase being filtered, because I had various workers drop that exact phrase over a thousand times over the course of about 18 months, and my main worker was banned a month ago, taking all my links with it, but that's what I'm seeing my end.
I think Reddit is toast for me.

i got like half banned from instnatly dropping links on the first attempt. i actuallly never had success doing link drops in the past but i did with edits but edits are not working for me now at all so thought id try a hail mary and do instant link drops. i actually surprisingly like i said got 2 to stick cause even before september that neverhappened before ever so not sure why they did. however most of my attempts lead to bans and removal of all previous posts. i even used a few never used for promotion accounts that had been warmed for months and some of those got banned instantly on an attempt of a link drop.
Were these accounts purchased or created? How old were they? Did they have organic comments in that subreddit? How much comment karma did they have? Are you using an anti-detect browser, and what type of proxy are you using?
