Reddit will require human verication

I'm trying to do the maths here. To be clear, you're saying everything you do is MANUAL?

Adspower cost for 4000 profiles $497/month
View attachment 443213

I have 55 accounts which I post/comment twice daily manually per account - takes me around an hour with the use of ChatGPT for comment variations.

My monthly average spend for proxies and bandwidth use based on the above is somewhere around $120/m again, for 55 accounts.

4000 account spend? Even if you're managing to do it 75% cheaper than me it would still be $2,181.82/month. At the same price it would be $8727.27 per month.

What I'd like to know is;

1. Why would you ever need (or want) 4000 accounts - and the fact you have - why and how are you managing them manually? How many do you actively login to each day?
2. You state you create them all yourself. Meaning brand new; so they'd only be of use for post/comments on small subreddits 25k< at best (anything higher would guarantee comments are filtered/collapsed/hidden - unavoidable). Unless you're also warming them and generating karma?
3. You state you were making $30k/m circa 2024 from 4000 accounts. Thats $7.50 revenue per account per month is it not? Minus costs? I've just done some quick maths and my revenue averaged (again - I'm no expert - and a lowly 55 accounter) in April was $118 per account. So again, I'd ponder whether 4k accounts makes any sense? The costs are astronimical. Happy to be proved wrong - just my written thoughts.

4. The following quote makes no sense to me?



When it comes to multiaccounting; you either successfully make your fingerprint consistent or you don't. There is now lower or upper limit. Also, worried about reddit getting funny? You've stated ITT you've created 4000 accounts in 6 months. If that's true I wouldn't personally be concerned about pushing to... to say... literally any number.

You're either implementing a genuinely unique method (Which is possible) or you have much better contacts than the rest of us!
your making some other assumptions on many things i never explictly stated. I dont want to give details on why/what i do or how cause of competitor reasons.
I create alot per day manually some of those are used and some im currently stockpiling alot of those for situations like this where it may be harder in the future so for rainy day

If this causes the scripts to stop working, I'm sure many users will move to microjob sites like Sproutgigs.
 
FB already does this facial recognition and GOVT id, plus they do autoban people not using approved list of emails too, and the site is overrun by AI bots and right wing trolling.
CEO Spez announced more about this today. I think it could be good in some ways, it might kill a lot of your competition and others on the platform, however, they still need to keep users anonymous, as that’s the core idea of reddit. So they won’t require ID verification, instead, they will just make the filters stricter to detect and counter AI-generated content

its already strict as it is, how much stricter can they get, the goal seems that they want to mimic FB, and FB is making bank on advertising and AI trolling.


cmqwer0: i think people are addicted enough that they will give them thier ID, just look at FB.​

It looks likes humans are born to be slaves time to go off grid :)
 
Reddit is unlikely to introduce document checks, they have chosen the path of content moderation with filters, using AI. Any provision of documents online exposes you to enormous risk
 
KYC all accounts is a death sentence for any social media site. It shrinks your sites content making it more exclusive and will bring more quality but at the cost of losing casual accounts.

Your calculations and your question are correct!!
I’ve also said in other posts that I have more than that number of accounts, but I’ve never grown them myself because, as your analysis shows, the costs in terms of proxies and time would be too high. I’ve always bought them, around $15 each. Ahhh, $60,000 worth of accounts purchased — and trust me, it’s actually much more than that.
But I don't spend much on proxies. Around 90% of my accounts are inactive, and I just do a quick warm-up once a month to keep the cookies active.
But why are my accounts inactive? Any account of mine that generates even just $1 a months stays inactive to avoid getting banned.
Every month I add 10–20 more accounts to my fleet. A percentage gets banned, and the rest stay inactive if I manage to place a link.

Don’t keep accounts around hoping for better times. Things can only get worse, and you could end up losing everything, as happened to many people in February 2025 with the elections...

REDDIT WILL NEVER REQUIRE AGE VERIFICATION — IT WOULD BE THE END OF THE PLATFORM. THEY’RE CURRENTLY DOING IT IN EUROPE BECAUSE A LEGAL REQUIREMENT HAS BEEN INTRODUCED, AND IT’S EASY TO BYPASS.
