Check the account history before using it. If the account had previous warnings or violations, it can get banned again even if everything looks fine now.

In my opinion if every new account encounters the same issue, it is likely caused by something in the general configuration making changes one by one will make it easier to identify the source of the problem
Fresh browsers like instead of using Safari you are using Chrome?
New residential IP from where? A commercial VPN? I’m asking because some VPN providers are claiming to offer residential static ips but in reality they don’t.
Reddit and other social media platforms are using complex checkers. This depends of the previous ban. For eg. If your account has been banned for a serious reason then an IP changing and a multi browser (anti detect browsers) will not solve the problem because they have complex systems which will check your device fingerprints as well.
Check what I spoke with ChatGPT, this is what I’m using to evasion a ban.

please tell me exact your setup and the residential provider most of common proxy's are just shit (even the paid ones)
check your setup btw with pixelscan.net and look at the results
edit: and ask if you can buy account with the session cookie then you don't have to log in just move the cookie and goahead

buying aged accs is harder now, reddit flags them after first login from new device. i stopped that years ago. create fresh accs but need different device per acc or they link them together by fingerprinting. warming for 2-3 weeks with no posting works way better than any proxy setup

Reddit seems to have this really locked down now, for the time being at least. I had two accounts on dolphin browser profiles, each with separate residential proxies. One got banned a couple of weeks ago, which I sort of expected to happen. The other one was three weeks old, 500 karma, I didn't do any promo posts at all with it.
I sent one PM to someone who had replied to a thread advertising paid comments on Reddit, all I did was ask if they were still interested, didn't even mention Reddit, logged in this morning and bam, gone!
I think it's going to be a long hard slog for marketers going forward. Reddit's stock price dropped a lot, so they want people to buy ads, something I'd actually do if they let me target specific threads, but they don't.

Reddit is losing a lot of money because of this, I dont think its permanent it may even just be a bug
Lots of real users unable to user their service past 2-3 months
Their stock is down significantly because of lack of user growth

Their revenue has actually increased this year. The stock is down because they're getting less search referrals due to ai overviews on Google. Loads of people search for reddit on Google but never actually sign up. I think that's why these annoying popups have started happening to force you to get the app.
It's definitely not a bug. They announced these new anti spam methods last month, and it's since then a lot of people have had difficulty marketing. I think the only hope of this being rolled back is if their token spend on the AI moderation gets out of hand, because I guarantee they're spending a boat load of money on tokens.

A clean IP is the single most important thing you can control. Starts when you create the account and how you use the account initially.
Just because you use a residential mobile proxy doesn't mean it's clean. In fact a lot of services are recycling IPs that have been abused..
Once you start using clean IPs, you have to act like a real user because reddit uses AI to detect and scan behavioral cues. If you don't have a clean IP, there's no point in the antidetect browsers or other tools - the account is already burned.

I’ve bought around 5 accounts and created around 10 accounts myself, and almost all of them ended up getting banned. I barely did any promotional activity.
Two of the accounts I created myself reached around 3K karma. About 1-2 months, one got banned after a repost. Yes, repost one post. And another got banned after I left a link in a comment.
I won’t buy any more accounts. The problem isn’t that the purchased accounts are necessarily bad — the issue is that most purchased accounts are inactive/aged accounts. No matter how carefully you try to warm them up, once you log in from a new device, they seem to get heavily monitored. In some cases, it feels even riskier than creating a brand-new account and starting from zero.
