Would Reddit detect if I only use mobile data plan?

I was wondering if reddit would detect if I used only single mobile data plan on my android phone and like few brave browsers for each account, and every time I wanted to log in, I would use airplane to change IP.

How many accounts would this work for if at all?
 
I have to ask what are people posting on Reddit that they worry about getting caught with multiple profiles?

Reddit really doesn't give a shit about multiple profiles unless someone is somehow being a scumbag.

So I'll ask again... What is someone posting that they're worried Reddit super admins will freak out.

Reddit don't care if you're using multiple profiles, IF you don't use them to like/comment on your other accounts's posts/comments. +, ofc, the other details, like spam, scam or doxxing people. It's called Reddiquette.

I have nothing to worry about, I just don't want to be shadowbanned for example. I love to make troll posts with AI on AITAH subreddit, boost them with upvotes and they get can get up to 1-2K if good story, and then I post on my profile some weird kink and the people who read my AITAH post are then mad that they believed fake story, it's just fun.

Although, if subreddit bans me, I get shadowbanned almost immediately.

I am asking if one the accounts got banned on my device, would Reddit detect the rest and they would get shadowbanned too?

Using a single mobile data plan and airplane mode to change IP can work for small volumes, but Reddit can still link accounts through other fingerprints (device, behavior).

If one account gets banned for spam or suspicious activity, there’s a risk Reddit monitors that IP and flags other accounts recently connected from it, especially if their activity is linked in time or through interactions.
To reduce these risks, many people use dedicated mobile proxies or completely isolate account environments.
 
Reddit can see your provider but not your plan, and they don't care about it.

You can manage thousands of accounts with a single plan. Just ensure the IP changes each time and disable background activity on profiles.

Otherwise, when you switch the IP for one profile, all other profiles will use the same IP, risking your accounts being banned. Be careful about this specifically.
 
Yo ContactAronas! Reddit’s sharp, but mobile data + airplane mode IP swaps can work for a few accounts if you use separate Brave browser profiles Limit to 3-5 to stay safe! :p Got multiple devices? :D
 
Yes, it can work short-term, but Reddit may still flag patterns over time - like device fingerprinting, cookie behaviour, or reused IP blocks. Switching IPs via airplane mode helps, but mixing devices and user agents improves safety for managing multiple accounts.
 
Reddit won’t limit how many accounts you create, at least not until they detect something suspicious. I think your idea of toggling airplane mode to refresh the mobile IP is pretty clever. I actually used a similar method for creating Gmail accounts without phone verification. But by the fourth attempt, Google started asking for a phone number, which probably meant the new IP I got was already flagged or reused too many times for account creation.
So yeah, mobile IPs do rotate, but that doesn’t always mean they’re clean. And another thing, if you’re using the same device for too many accounts, Reddit might eventually pick up on that as well, especially if your behavior patterns look automated or too similar. It could lead to mass bans.
If you plan on creating dozens or even hundreds of Reddit accounts, I’d honestly suggest using an antidetect browser like GoLogin, Hidemyacc, or similar, paired with clean proxies. It’s not only safer in terms of fingerprint separation, but also much easier to manage than juggling multiple browsers on one phone.
 
You’ll get away with it for a while, but once you post links, all bets are off.
 
Yes, Reddit can detect if you're using a mobile data plan through your IP address. Mobile networks assign dynamic IPs, which are often flagged as mobile. However, this alone doesn’t typically raise concern unless paired with suspicious activity.
I am using mobile android device, so it's a good thing.

Not posting links, just making fake AI posts on AITAH with upvotes boost. I do think that if I get banned from subreddit, they will ban my other accounts but haven't tested yet.

I would assume Reddit knows which mobile carriers most likely used for spam but might not be able to do much except device fingerprinting. It's less expensive using your own carrier mobile data plan than buying a proxy.

It's not a foolproof plan either, since Reddit could track mobile carrier name and bans + device fingerprinting, so if they detect the same device IPhone and Android info, since you can't change a lot on mobile it wouldn't be that hard. They could presumably be more biased towards older phones.
 
Reddit don't care bro about sim plan unless you spam the s**t of the reddit or do bunch of upvotes to certain content

Reddit cares about everything, it's not like Discord where you can use VPN to create a new account and do same thing again.

Reddit is far superior in their technology detecting banned users and imposing restrictions if they try create account again.

spammy/botting behaviour is very easy to get banned from, even if you might not be consciounsly doing it. also people will get banned when they engage in controversial subs too.
 
Every time you change your account, you must change your IP, Reddit doesnt care which provider you use. The important thing is not to have the same IP or fingerprint
