Hi everyone, new here. After a year of trial and error I'm ready to either throw in the towel or change things up. I've successfully been promoting my wife's Onlyfans for years, mainly on Reddit. Since Reddit always worked so well for me, I got approached by a friend in the porn industry , whether I wanted to start a business together, promoting pages of other women in the industry. We'd pay the models the normal rate for a shoot, we'd edit it, create their pages, do the messaging, and if we get money, that's split in three, with what the model already got paid, detracted. As I had done it before, I agreed. I made some Reddit accounts, got plenty of diverse content to share, I knew what subreddits would work well for each niche, how to engage with the people there, no problem. But after a while all of these accounts started getting shadowbanned. I tried buying multiple phones, each with a different sim, I tried residential proxies, I tried buying aged accounts, I even built an automatic scheduler in Python that could run automatically on Android without having to use a proxy. I made sure to leave time between posts, not post the same things as not to be spammy, post quality content... but eventually they all started getting shadowbanned the moment I got some traction. I could focus on other social media but none have the same ability to post to such a big audience while also being able to automate so much of it.

After the millionth shadowban, I'm ready to give up. I know it's possible as my wife's account is still going strong and bringing in plenty. But every time I think I got it figured out, I'm back to square one. So, here I am, sitting with what I believe is quality amateur content, 4 models working with us and more that are interested to start, pages ready to go and a team ready to do the work, but I don't seem to be able to promote it to a point that it's all worth it. We've made our investment back already, but at this point it's too much work and uncertainty for the reward. I've been looking for a professional team to help, but 90 percent of those are scams and not sure where to find trustworthy ones... Or somebody that actually knows how to do what I'm trying to do with Reddit... At this point, any advice is welcome.

How many times did you post a day?

You're doing everything right, which makes this more frustrating. The truth is Reddit’s system has become more aggressive against adult and promo content, especially once you start scaling or gaining traction. Shadowbans are now more about patterns than intent, and even solid setups get flagged once your behavior fits certain internal signals. At this point, automation alone won't cut it. You might need a hybrid strategy. Mix organic engagement with carefully controlled manual posting. Rotate model identities and posting styles. Build up a few “community” style accounts that don't post links at all but just comment and engage to warm Reddit’s trust. Then funnel traffic through those.
Also, consider building your own audience via Discord or Telegram tied to the Reddit traffic. That way when accounts get hit, your follower base survives.
As for real teams, look in adult-focused marketing Discords or forums with verified success cases. Most legit people don't advertise publicly. You’re close. You just need a smarter rotation system and a softer approach on Reddit's radar. Keep your wife's account as a model, literally and technically. There’s still a way forward.
 
Consider funneling traffic from Twitter/X first to avoid direct Reddit bans.

Reddit’s gotten brutally smart at pattern detection. The fact that your wife’s account still works tells you the system favors long-term organic history. New accounts even aged ones trigger flags fast, especially when promoting adult content. Right now, Reddit isn’t scalable for new OF promo without real human interaction, varied posting styles, and deep warming. Instead of scaling horizontally with many accounts, try vertically with 1–2 deep, slow-growth accounts that mimic real user behavior. Cross-promote using Telegram, X, and even Threads to soften the Reddit dependency. Also, consider working with mid-tier creators who already have some presence. You don’t need to quit—but the system you're trying to scale is outdated. Time to pivot from brute force to finesse.
