So recently, all my Reddit accounts got banned. Pretty sure it’s because I wasn’t using any anti-detect browsers or proxies.
I kinda blame myself for this. I should’ve listened when people were suggesting ADBs and proxies. I created accounts with no ADBs or proxies for protection. I was fine starting March 2023, and then two years later, all of my accounts got permabanned.
I was also interacting between my own accounts. A friend told me not to do this because posting on one account and then commenting on another, Reddit admins will still see your IP address and basically treat it like sock puppet accounts for farming. I didn’t upvote them or anything, but I did promote pretty heavily. I followed the 80/20 rule (80% non-promotional, 20% promo), but that still got me flagged. Heck, I even join and engage in subreddits that are in line with my own personal hobbies and interests, and even start posting my own personal stories and shits just to make it look authentic. Not sure if using upvote.shop is another factor.
Maybe It’s the Links Too
I think the real issue was probably all the links I promoted. But before I post a promotional comment with a link, I always make sure to interact with the subreddit first. Still, maybe avoiding links altogether is just the safer option. Let me know if that works better for you guys.
Some Posts Are Still Up
The one silver lining is that the posts and comments from the banned accounts are still visible. So not everything went down the drain, at least I hope. I just need new accounts to keep going. I’m not sure if buying new accounts and then logging them into an ADB plus proxy setup is a good idea.
Looking to Start Over with Proxies and ADB
Now that I’m basically starting from scratch, I’m looking for advice on how to properly farm Reddit accounts. Also trying to figure out what the best (but cheaper) proxies are. Mobile proxies like IPRoyal are the ones being recommended here, but $130 a month is rough. The rotating residential proxies from IPRoyal start at $1.75 per GB, so not sure if that’s worth it or not. I looked into static residential proxies like SmartProxy, but I’m open to better and cheaper alternatives if anyone knows any.
IP Might Be Burned - Trying to create 20 backup accounts on a different location
I’m thinking of farming like 20 plus accounts in a different location and another 20 plus in my own location, even though my current IP might be flagged but I'll be using ADB and Proxies this time on my own location. A bunch of my accounts and even my account farmer’s accounts got banned, so either my IP or theirs is probably flagged too.
I was also wondering if it’s a good idea to use multiple anti-detect browsers under their free tiers. Like maybe 10 free profiles on Dolphin Anty, 5 on AdsPower, 10 on another ADB, and just buy 25 proxies to run each. Or maybe just stick to one mobile proxy, log in and out across accounts, and hope for the best. But I’m not sure if Reddit flags that kind of pattern too fast.
Using different devices?
Also, last thing. Do you think using several different laptops or mobile phones is worth it for this? I have a plan to buy cheap laptops and have, like, 5 accounts on each device with different ADBs.
Would love to hear your thoughts on how to do this right. Especially if you’ve gone through something similar. Just trying to get back into action with client work and keep things running more safely this time.
Thanks in advance.
