Reddit Account Bans - Looking for Insights

nice! Just wondering. What is your strategy towards warmup? Like how often are you commenting each day per account?
For the first few days, only browsing. Then, upvoting for the next few days, and then I will focus on leaving comments. I haven't worked on the comment part of the program, which I will work after new year. Till then I have to keep the accounts alive. :D
 
UPDATE:

So I took the advice shared here and switched to mobile proxies. That said, before doing that, I had already created around 400 accounts using the same set of datacenter proxies. Yeah… I can already hear the “are you serious?” comments, but stick with me. :D

I started warming these accounts up a couple of days ago, and surprisingly, the suspension rate has been pretty low so far. I’m still holding judgment for another week, though, because that’s around the time my earlier batch started getting hit.

Overall, this has been a fun (and slightly nerve-racking) experiment. Definitely challenging, but I’m enjoying the process and the thrill that comes with testing things hands-on.

==================================================
SUMMARY
==================================================
Total accounts checked: 405
Banned accounts: 11
Active accounts: 394
Errors: 0

Will update again once I have more data. ;)

Any feedback or suggestions? I'd be happy to hear them.
what's the setup for such numbers?
 
I wish that reddit is that easy
Just antidetect browser and proxy
That setup will never work

Yet it does, because Reddit dropped out of the cat and mouse game of antidetects and now relies mostly on CQS.
 
Hey guys!

So I finally decided to test the Reddit hype everyone’s been talking about for a while now.

About two weeks ago, I created roughly 100 Reddit accounts using separate proxies and an anti-detect browser. Everything looked fine initially - no issues, no instant bans. I didn’t really touch the accounts after creation, though, just let them sit.

Fast forward to a couple of days ago, and when I checked again yesterday, almost all of them were banned.

Now I’m wondering if not logging into or warming up the accounts after creation triggered the suspensions, or if Reddit is just getting way more aggressive with detection lately.

Has anyone here actively working with Reddit marketing experienced something similar? Would appreciate any insights on what might’ve gone wrong or how to avoid this next time.
Honestly, it sounds like your proxy provider might be the culprit here. If those residential IPs were even slightly 'dirty,' Reddit’s anti-spam system would have nuked the whole batch regardless of whether you warmed them up or not. Also, 100 accounts in one go is a massive red flag. Quality over quantity is the only way to survive on this platform now.

Anti detect browsers are detected by most platforms. I personally switched to using a google pixel and installing grapheneOS on it. This allows for 32 sandboxed accounts on the phone that can’t be detected.

Register on the Reddit app using a Google account. Create a password in the Reddit app after registration in case G kills your account.

I have more than 300 accounts this way for more than 8 months now. I don’t have to use them daily. Some have sat for months and they are fine. I used one non rotating mobile proxy that matched the SIM card carrier for all of them.

The catch: The phone needs to have a real SIM card and have been activated within the last year by the company that made the SIM card. The SIM card does not have to remain activated but you need to keep the same SIM card in the phone at all times.

2nd catch, the phone has to be sold directly from Google so you can use OEM unlocking. That is very important. If you buy a used one on eBay like me verify with the seller that OEM unlocking isn’t greyed out. I learned that the hard way.

Reddit is easy. Google and discord are harder.

''I used one non rotating mobile proxy that matched the SIM card carrier for all of them.''

It seems something that works in the US, I guess proxy providers won't offer me a specific mobile proxy matching the SIM card carrier of my country here, sad. How would you deal with that? Order a US SIM card or is there any workaround? Maybe I'm tripping and they offer local mobile proxies matching the carrier in other countries, need to check that.

I'm not using any proxy right now, since I just have 2 accounts xD, no experience with that

They're rotating proxies, so I think I am good.

Damn. How do you handle so many accounts? :D

DM me details about your mobile provider I bet we can figure something

Even if you got to do it phone by phone I have a solution.
 
What do you mean?
Search for it. It's an automation tool, I would say, just like Selenium. If you want to automate some stuff inside a browser, you use these libraries.

It will work. I will make it work. Wait and watch. ;)

Not bad but let’s check in 90 days what the stats are before we get confident
Hehe, guess you were right after all. :D But I had to try for myself.

UPDATE:

I’ve received numerous suggestions, and the biggest takeaway is that account quality and the longevity of accounts depend heavily on proxy quality.

I tested commenting with accounts that had been warmed up for quite some time on datacenter proxies, and they still got instantly banned. In contrast, I created a few accounts using the exact same process but on mobile proxies, started a thread, and one of them is already sitting at 50 karma.

So it’s clearly a case of quality over quantity. This approach will slow things down a bit, but the target remains around 3,000 accounts per month, properly warmed up and ready to post.

Will be posting the stats soon. ;)
 
When you warmed up these accounts, did they gain the ability to successfully upvote comments and posts? Or I'm guessing you're only using them for OFM posting right?
 
what are you doing to warm up an account? Is the process like: after creation, browse, join subreddits, comment, and post very infrequently for 1 week?

Yep, I can successfully post comments and upvote posts and comments using these accounts without any issues.

Yep, browsing only at the moment. Working on automating the comment posting, which will take some time.
 
I completely agree with you on the importance of using residential proxies, as datacenter proxies can be easily detected. It's interesting to see your strategy for growing Reddit accounts from scratch using Dolphin + Chrome + residential proxies. Can you share more about your experience with Anti-detect profiles and how you manage to avoid triggering Reddit's bot detection? Additionally, what kind of warm-up automation are you working on, and do you think it will make a significant difference in account survival rates?

That's nice to hear that you can vote. Do you generally use those accounts for voting purposes or only for OFM posting/advertizing? I've made several new accounts but a lot of times even though they don't get shadowbanned, I lose the ability to vote. And I never use bots.

Nothing complex. Just creating accounts using anti-detect + res. proxies. Still new to this, so figuring out stuff along the way.

I am new to Reddit marketing, so just setting up accounts at the moment. I will be using them for OFM later on.
I've found that 30 days is when accounts can stick, up until then they are fragile. What do you guys see?
The res. proxy accounts are only 10-12 days old, so I cannot answer this as of now.

My accounts are fine from day one.

Right after I register I make a comment, then check to see if it’s live in a private browser. If that first comment goes live the account is fine. I don’t have problems with accounts at all. And I don’t do any “warming.”
