How to create Reddit upvoting bot?

Looking to create a Reddit UpVoting software application bot.

I am looking for either advice on how to do it or a developer recommendation.

Advice I am looking for:
- What kind of setup/ tech stack does it need to be?
+ Use Reddit API or 3rd party bot/scraper/crawler?
+ What kind of IP/ proxy? AWS or Cloudflare with using Reddit API or residential proxy when using bot/scraper/crawler?
+ Is dedicated proxy IP needed or is rotating okay?
+ What kind of normal activity is needed for accounts? For example: upvoting other random comments in addition to the comment you want to upvote to make it look normal and no footprint
- How often can you use accounts? How often can you use an account for upvoting? For example: 1 upvote every 30 minutes or hour, per account

Things I know:
- Use aged Reddit accounts with decent karma
- I will be using JavaScript language
- IP matters, use proxies
- Footprint matters (accounts can't be identified as vote manipulation)
- Reddit API (and the voting feature) is for 3rd party applications (like mobile apps) that have real users (real humans) that upvote, so this Reddit upvoting bot I want to create will need to be some sort of "creative" approach

i wouldn't use the api, real human users don't use the api from datacenter ips. rest of what you said sounds very good, you definitely did your research, just start with these ideas and you'll see what you can optimize, you're spot on with most things

Find high-quality proxie, use brevo for different pages ... then you will see

Hey thanks. Ya I've been marketing on Reddit for a few years, spent $80K so far on upvotes from one of the top vendors, thought I'd try to bring it in-house. We already have account creation and karma building in house, among other things, so seems to make sense to bring upvotes in-house as well and hopefully can save some money doing it.

I currently have 1 developer working on it. We setup Workers via Cloudflare using the Reddit API. But as we soon found out, that will not work.

Do you have any idea what sort of bot tech stack software setup we should do?

if you have that kind of budget do mobile automation, android. phone farm.

Thanks! What will Brevo do? How exactly does Brevo fit in to all this?

Phone farm won't work for Reddit.

I too would be interested in knowing this, as far as I can see Brevo is a mass email management system and nothing more, the free account which offers 300 emails a day can be done by companies such as Mailchimp can't they? Or am I missing something here?

do you know what will work? What do all of the reddit upvote vendors do?

You wrote everything correctly except for the use of the API. It is better to automate a mobile app or a web version
