Anyone know the new rules about new Reddit accounts
When can you start to upvote is a big one
I like so many have had quite a few oldish 1 - 2 year plus 200 Karma accounts banned - not shadow banned just plain deleted.
The only thing I can think of is that I used selenium originally to make them.
All my "Hand Made" ones, on 3g IP's seem to be immune to the ban wave at the moment ( fingers crossed)
Anyone else seeing a pattern ?
BTW I do use some PRAW and some automated web but I don't use stealth browsers or TSL like puppeteer and selenium anymore.
 
Things like selenium and puppeteer are easy to detect, to write browser bots, use a common real browser like chrome & their devtools protocol. Reddit sometimes don't ban the account right away, but instead set the account to be banned automatically on the next post/comment, to make it harder for you to pinpoint the reason.
 
Selenium and puppetter even with their so “stealthy” plugins are still detected. U need custom solutions and unique ip for each acc created
 
I see reverse engineering API requests is the best solution right now
 
It s not. Web is. Unless u want to run tens of thousands of accounts. I run with web around 1000 accounts with no problems so far
Do you think it would be fine to use incogniton or adspower anti detect browser for 300-500 accounts on proxies and i just want to follow 30-50 people per account a day? Or is there any automation software good for this? Like socinator?
 
Reddit has had a tumultuous month after announcing changes to its data API. In the last month, Reddit's CEO gave interviews defending the company's decision, the social network had fights with developers and moderators, and the platform saw a large number of subreddits going dark and later protesting in different ways.
 
All I would say is that try using the api as much as you can. You don’t even need praw (btw, how do you manage proxies with praw?) to make a request. You could do it with simple http requests without having to use any plugins.

When you use browsers, it gets tough real soon.

Hi news bot.
 
So Ill break it down the way I work :

I create accounts using 4g IP's and I use desktop automation so no Selenium or stealth browsers
I use 10% of the accounts to do PRAW querys
60% of the accounts use HTTP requests
and 30% are my main accounts which again use 4g / desktop automation.
BTW I use all my own g4 routers and VMware
