How to send cold dms in Reddit without account ban

Reddit is nuking my DM outreach accounts no matter what I try, is this happening to everyone right now?

I've been doing manual cold outreach on Reddit for a few months. I'm getting banned across every device, proxy, and aged account I throw at it, and I can't tell if it's just me or if Reddit's cracked down platform-wide.

Here's everything I've tried, in order:

1. Mobile account (main phone)
Sent 15–30 DMs a day straight from my personal phone. Banned in 5 days.

2. Brand new phone
Bought a separate physical phone, made a fresh account, kept volume super low, just 2 DMs a day. Still banned within a month.

3. Laptop account(8 months old) was banned along with another account which has anti-detect setup residential proxies, and a proper anti-detect browser with spoofed fingerprints. Kept it to a strict 5 DMs/day. Ran fine for 3 months... then got permanently banned two days ago. (Both account banned on same day) . Felt like Reddit connected it back to me almost instantly.

My actual workflow, if it helps diagnose anything:

Find recent hiring posts in relevant subreddits (video editing, logo design, etc.)
Screenshot the post and feed it to Claude AI
Ask Claude to draft a short, personalized DM ofcourse there is variations inside this template, mentions relevant experience, ends with a low-pressure CTA just asking permission to share a portfolio
Copy the message and paste it directly into the Reddit DM box, no links in the first message, ever

is your account also getting banned, or is it running successfully? If it's running successfully, how? What are the things you do?

Never promote your service directly in Reddit DMs. Keep the conversation genuine, and if they’re interested, you can move the conversation to Telegram and continue there.

reddit's linking accounts way deeper than proxies or fingerprints now, they're tracking behavioral patterns across your whole setup. the fact that both accounts got nuked on the same day tells me they clocked the connection through something else - api calls, mouse patterns, timing between actions, or just the templates being too similiar. cold dms are basically a losing game at this point, most accounts get flagged within weeks no matter how old they are. you might need to warm them waay longer or just pivot to a different strategy alltogether

Sounds like Reddit is catching the outreach pattern itself. Getting banned even at 2 DMs a day is kinda crazy. I’d probably change the outreach approach instead of burning more accounts and proxies.
