Found a few vendors selling Reddit ads accounts.

Was wondering if you could use these to boost subreddit members?

Thanks in advance

Just add your subreddit URL as the destination URL.
 
Sorry, my question was more geared towards - do you think this will piss off Redditors?
I know they despise any form of ads usually.

Who cares? In marketing, you care about numbers, not about people's feelings.

That's an oversimplification by other marketers who got banned for spamming. Yes, some communities will hate ads, and some won't.

Generally the more older the audience the more ads they tolerate.

For example, I have subreddits where I have a scheduled post that repeats the same AD every day at 8PM, and people don't care, I think they don't even know how to report the post.

While in other subreddits they'd report me to the admins for this.

Anyway, I suggest you take action and learn by trial and error.

Those who despise ads have adblockers on.

And you won't know until you try.
I would also suggest creating puppet reddit accounts, and using them to comment "r/your_subreddit" on related posts, use other puppets to upvote that comment. Much better than paid ads and you will get organic impressions with very high click ratio
Good luck

Thanks for this idea.
Have you done this before?
Won't Reddit see the puppet accounts doing this again and again and block them?

Nope, I haven't done it before.

Mix the task. Make those puppet accounts lurk on related subs, randomly upvote posts and other comments. From day 2nd or 3rd day, scrape old content from those subs and re-upload.
This is how you can maintain the health of your puppets.

But this will consume a lot of traffic. You will have to make it efficient.

Redditors will get pissed off every now on then. Is the fun thing about reddit.

Ads on reddit are tricky IMO. You have to be creative.
Haven't hammered reddit ads to know for sure, but as a user I have seen only a few ads on reddit that made me curious.
One of those was a video ad, which I rarely see but captured my attention in 2 seconds.

there's a huge shit show going on with people getting so many clicks but 0 conversions.

thing is with reddit, there are so many scrapers scraping the site and bots, your add is listed as "another post" and as such - gets so many false clicks that you would probably lose money on reddit ads
