This isn't going to work.
Reddit has a new filter tool of sorts which automatically removes "hate" speech for moderator review, termed "crowd control". Since the accounts are new and untrusted they'll basically end up talking into this void, which is essentially a shadowban in all but name.
Getting banned isn't the issue, it's that any contentious comment from a new account is now removed by default. It's the final stage in Reddit's cancer.

Why not make the account write inoffensive normie comments for a month or two before switching to based mode? Make it just write "love it", "this" "yes", "I love reddit", "orange man bad".

People already do that, it's how most account farming works and Reddit is increasingly wise to it.

The problem is that reddit is increasingly clamping down on drama, both organic and created. Eight years ago mods would let flame wars go for days, no the thread gets nuked within minutes.
Sadly I see a future with no drama left for us.

So basically an /r/politics GPT bot before utilising the 4chan bot.

Aging accounts fixes this. I've been manually flooding the site with hate speech for almost a year now. I use reveddit.com to ensure my comment is not removed. When it is removed it is almost certainly due to the subreddit's policies.The manual review thing applies to very few subreddits. But yeah this will be a great difficulty as the AI will need to be changed to make it subtle enough to bypass it. Either way, I doubt many subreddits will implement it anytime soon.

Maybe have an inbuilt hate-meter so that it starts off innocuous to gain karma and gets slowly more offensive over time?

I think what you're suggesting is just using normal gtp3 until you want to turn on the hate

If you go through all the trouble to automatically farm accounts, you'll probably sell them instead.

It's being enabled by default soon and I can guarantee that most of the powerjannies will use it. Reddit using AI to detect wrongthink is no secret, that's how they're so quick to ban alt accounts.

The proxy part is tricky in that they might have already been blacklisted in a geoip database or something and your comments end up shadowjannied. I've seen comments from a same account shadowjannied on a VPN connection but show up if I comment using a residential ip

That's ultimately the goal. Baiting Reddit into blacklisting major VPN providers will greatly cut their traffic.

You saw how anal they were about net neutrality. A lot of their users care about internet privacy and freedom, just in a warped lgbtq-friendly corporate sense. It would cause a lot of uproar to know that they are blocking VPN users.

I suspect they only cared about net neutrality because it would allow internet providers to collect rent from them. Even 4chan bans VPNs and people mostly don't sneed about it.

Lkke every YouTube video is shilling for VPN, of course redditors are going to be behind them for their cp and such. If they blacklisted vpns all of /r/teenagers would be empty

I saw the video and also immediately thought of applying to reddit. Hereโs the problem though: even if you age the accounts, the second they say something wrongthink they will get banned. Sure, you can flood the site with them, but :marseyjannie: work overtime to counter hate.
I have an idea that is rather out there though. What if we made the entire site genuinely unusable the same way /r/politics is. Make the comments in a conforming language, to be sure, but make them absolutely r-slurred, overly political, and obnoxious toward whoever they reply to. Flood slightly smaller and more niche subs with them to corrode the userbase. Then, leave that subreddit and move onto the next, leaving it void of users (who have all left because it became unusable). Most people who actually use reddit donโt go on the big subs. The companyโs actual revenue would be more harshly affected if the people who give gold and read the ads just up and left because of how unbearable it was.
Just my two cents.

small subs are harder to flood with bot spam. The userbase seems more "human" in small communities, unlike in the default subs. I know the NPC meme is already a dead horse, but I think it really applies here.

Reddit doesn't work like that and you are putting waaaaay too much effort and resources into this. I'd give you the touch grass award but I am too poor, like for real go outside more lmao.

Having experience with Reddit's API, you cant really "flood" them with anything. If you spam requests to the API too quicky, it will give you an error message that says something like "you are doing that too much". Reddit isnt very nice to bots. Even bots that are designed by mods to help moderate.

That's OK we don't really NEED it do to any of the stuff listed here. It would just be more convenient to code as we wouldn't have to use a browser robot to interact with the website.
