Is it just fair to say, to be successful in Reddit Marketing in 2027 andf forward you will just have to expect to lose accounts & posts?

Is it just fair to say, to successful market on reddit now you just have to expect to lose accounts & posts?

I really jumped off reddit marketing on a manual level after all the updates and thought I was quittting all together

Then I had someone reach out and we've got a centralized system now and Ai agents have been trained to do what i once did.. Not perfectly, but they do well enough to be useful.

However, my question............ Do you all think when reddit marketing now, you should just expect to lose accounts and comments / brand mentions?

I do. However, the percentages I'm not sure of.

I think you should lose 10-15% if you're really skilled
Lesser skilled will lose 50-70% probably

What's everyone elses's take?

i think account loss/shadowban ect should be expected for any kind of social media marketing when you try to scale and automate.

I'm talking Automated or Manual

Reddit wasn't like this just 6 months ago.

I believe in finding the best setup that works for you and see good results. Losses will come nevertheless. I agree with you ratio and separation, however there is one thing which you cannot control: banned keywords/brands/terms/you name it. Once you post a few times with those, your account is bye bye.

i'd be more interested in why those accounts and comments are getting removed than the actual loss percentage. if most removals come from a few specific subreddits, that's a different problem from reddit banning accounts sitewide. i'd track removals by subreddit, content type and whether the posts were automated. losing 10% might sound acceptable, but if those were your best performing communities, the damage could be much bigger than the number suggests.

Depends on how much time it takes to find a solution if you can sustain taking a few losses because you expected it.

Never put all your eggs in one technique basket.

You're probably closer to losing 30-40% the more accounts you have.

A lot of accounts are shadow banned and don't even know it. You used to be able to tell just by visiting the profile, but Reddit is testing shadow bans where there's no notice.

Only way you can tell is upvoting an obscure post or comment and then visiting it with another account or not logged in and you'll notice hours later the upvote didn't register or isn't sticking.

I reckon niche matters a ton here, a technical subreddit with strict mods is a completely different beast from a broad discussion community

I think if you are posting in communities that you don't moderate, you have a much higher chance of getting comments/posts removed. I remember reading that just above 50% of removed content on Reddit were by mods instead of auto systems.

I've found accounts that receive good engagement during the warm-up process typically do better versus the accounts that don't receive a lot or negative engagement, even using the same setup/warm-up process. I hate to use the term "luck" here, but I'd say there is at least a layer of it. I'm sure we all have stories of a high performing post being removed by mods for no valid reason lol.

Sure, there are things we can do to reduce removals/bans/shadowbans, but I would be skeptical of someone claiming they can 100% guarantee the outcome of all these actions.

(Keep up with these Reddit threads, we need more marketers on Reddit discussing theories like this!)
