Is it safe to buy aged Reddit accounts for marketing purposes?
Been thinking about leveling up my marketing game on Reddit, but I keep seeing people talk about buying these “aged” accounts, and honestly I’m torn. On one hand, my fresh accounts get slapped with limits or shadowbans the second I try to post anything even slightly promotional. On the other hand, buying accounts feels kinda sketchy, and I’m paranoid about getting nuked or scammed. I’ve put a lot into my project and don’t wanna blow it over something dumb. Anyone here ever tried this route or know if it’s even worth considering, or should I just stick to growing accounts the slow way?
I get the frustration, but it’s not all doom and gloom. A lot of people hit the same wall early on with Reddit. If you’re patient and take a value-first approach, accounts do open up over time. Commenting consistently, being helpful in niche subs, and easing into promotion can actually build solid traction — it just takes a bit longer than we’d like. Slow growth isn’t wasted effort here, it usually pays off.
Been in the same boat, and yeah, buying accounts gave me the heebie-jeebies at first. But honestly, I grabbed a couple aged Instagram accounts for a different project from a site that vets the accounts and delivers fast, and it was way smoother than I expected. As long as you're not blasting spam and actually engaging like a human, they can save you a ton of time and headaches.
