Im quitting reddit for a while ... Maybe permanently as a service.

I'll still be incubating new stuff but my focus is completely going elsewhere as I'm out of gas to be put short.

Reddit wont be the same I believe by the time I come back .

And I see arbitraging opportunities elsewhere.

So for those of you who've been wanting to ask me questions, here's your chance.

Only 1 Question per person however. Im giving away my secrets.

Is it possible to un-ban a profile?

Yes. The Format process never worked for me though.

I had accounts unban randomly at points when they would make changes to their system. Happened yearly .

I've 1 account that were banned 2 or 3 times over.

What was the Reddit strategy that made you the most money while you were doing this?

Owning my own network of subreddits

You can use them to karma farm, promote your own sites or material, or even sell posts to clients.

The only real mistake I had was trusting a client from here to not spam the subreddits I sold him before i removed my accounts as mods. He caused me to lose a lot of A-grade subs and some old accounts.

But on the flip side, it was also a wake up call. I was putting up around 150 pieces of content daily, that I carefully curated (downloaded & uploaded) as part of my daily routine. Just a massive load of work. Kinda broke me out of that habit to start looking at other things because the conversion of $ for time wasn't really so great - especially once I started winding down on the premium accounts i had.

The reach I had with my accounts was far better than typical reddit accounts allowing me to top search with posts, etc
 
What's you secret for creating quality accs so quickly to use them for promotion/marketing and pls one more how would you grow a subreddit from scratch today
 
what was the earliest sign that made you realize reddit wasnt worth scaling anymore?
 
Recently reddit is filtering all the posts from my network of accounts. Some accs are fine but most of them are not. Random. Can you suggest how can i get rid of this scenario? i have tried warming up 2-3 min daily with a comment,

I was never 'scalling' . I've registered 100+ reddit accounts since like 2012. I always sold accounts before every blue moon............a few accounts, every so often, as just a pickup.

It was never a main focus.

After the people I was working with for in marketing the last (nearly) 3 years had to scale back due to the crypto market slump, I wanted to see if it was viable as a main income business . I sold out all my old accounts that I could find / regain entry to and now, I just dont have anything else left and not going to try to arbitrage other people's accounts as it's not the service i offer. I dont lie to my clients.

I really only wanted to deal with high end clientele & people who were serious.........who paid properly.

Did a lot of good business, now it's just over. I'm out of accounts. I have run out of Premium accounts to sell.

Deep question. Not sure I can answer this on a surface level.

What's your setup ? Phones? computers?
 
From my understanding you crated only SFW subreddits right? Do you think NSFW subs are worth it or not?

Yes, I only did SFW content.

NFSW lowers your windows of opportunity and makes it so a smaller group of people will want your product/services

NFSW can be fruitful though for sure ... I mean between Crypto and Onlyfans, the last 4-5 years on reddit have generated many many multi-millionaires .

BUT, again, NSFW creates more risks and narrows down your potential clientele

in SFW i built a single client's portfolio to nearly $3M so imagine me caring about NFSW at that point lol
 
Sorry for asking the second question, really interested to know what kind of SFW niches worked best for you in terms of growth
 
You are going elsewhere. Where are you going?

Ex client is back. Hiring me to work again exclusively, and it could last a few months.

Then I also have my Peptides project.

If i had an endless supply of premium reddit accounts it might work out pretty well but producing quality reddit work is something most people dont understand the value of nor do they value it properly.

But more importantly, I like to feel like i own what I do.

And here I was thinking people missed my creations.

I was trying to create daily comic strips for branding ..... and nobody even mentioned. I feel validated now for my creativity. Thanks.

Where can I buy a Reddit Ads account based on a percentage of spend, so I can run ads and pay a 10–20% fee? Thank

Nothing related to what I do. No clue.

What platform or opportunity you’re focusing on next?

Only talking about reddit.

But if i were looking for something to do. I'd consider creating an Ai character. People are killing it with this right now and we're still at base level for where that will go I believe.
 
Is it possible to change the Reddit username?
I mean I registered and I got automatically username what I didn't want. So can I change it some way?

Yeah, if you can find a phone number for Steve Huffman he can probably do it

Other than that, no way lol
 
NSFW is easier to monetize
while SFW is harder but Price point is higher.


Which Niches other than AI would you focus on in 2026 and beyond on Reddit ?
 
One of the reasons you're leaving is beacuse it's almost impossible to work normally now on Reddit? What would you suggest to people who are still trying to make it work? What is the best way to keep account safe and to post links?
