Take this post for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/northernireland/comments/1ll6ocg/see_it_say_it_censored_kneecap_is_not_the_story/

Speaking from experience, people in Ireland are overwhelmingly pro-palestine.
There is this user in the comments: https://www.reddit.com/user/EntireCourage308/
Its a nearly year-old account, it started posting about a month ago, it made some innoculous posts, then pivoted to posting far-right misinformation in the r/northernireland subreddit.

There’s loads of other accounts just like it.

    I wonder if one of these astroturfers would be interested in purchasing my now unused account that is still in the top 1℅ of highest karma users… 🤔

    I’ll take no less than $500,000. Don’t lowball me. I know what I’ve got.

          If your shittit account is:

          ∘ 18 or 19 years old ∘ Has a 3 letter username (example: u/hey) ∘ has a million or more karma (the more the comment karma, the more the better)

          Your account would be worth 2000+ USD. I have personally seen one account satisfying the above criteria selling for 2500 USD.

          If you have one such account it’s the best time to sell now.

              I have personally seen one account satisfying the above criteria selling for 2500 USD.

              This was on Ebay a couple of years ago before they banned the sale of online of online accounts. Now most of the Reddit account sales happen on playerup and blackhatworld. If you’re going to sell your account on either of the sites make a post proving you actually have control over the account like go into your user profile and type a post saying “This is for playerup. This account, [enter username here], is being sold by an individual and not through some agency or marketplace. Please contact me to buy the account. Individual buyers only. Agencies and marketplaces please avoid” and record a video of it and post it on the product description. If you can’t directly upload videos use sites like imgur. This will instill confidence on the buyer since most of the posts claiming they have a 18 or 19 year old accounts are straight up scams. Also PLEASE post this in your product description to help the buyer to prevent your account getting banned by shittit’s spam filters:

              My account was created in [Enter country here]. Always use an anonymous browser ( incogniton, morelogin, octobrowser, adspower, dolphin-anty ) Use a your phone’s 4G/5G connection as a hotspot for your PC. As for VPN, right now only Mullvad VPN seems to be immune to Reddit’s spam filters. Use the airplane mode button and check if it assigns a new IP each time. Check if your configuration works on both of these sites (https://iphey.com/ https://proxy.incolumitas.com/ proxy_detect.html). Avoid changing the email or setting the account to NSFW in the first few days. Reddit is placing a lot of importance on Google’s reCAPTCHA v3. Before accessing Reddit, our advice is to visit around 100 websites (including Reddit) and accept cookies. Save those cookies and use them in your browser. This will make the account activity appear more natural. Work Strategy Day 1-2: Visit the communities where I have posted comments, browse posts, and leave a few random votes (twice a day). Day 3: Repeat the warm-up process, find a post, and reply to a comment (do not comment directly on the post, only reply to a comment). Day 4: Enter the subreddit you want to work in, join the subreddit, and for the next two days, browse posts and leave a few votes. Day 7: Start leaving a couple of replies to comments. Day 10: Your account is ready to work. Post-10-Day Strategy From day 10 onward, vary your account’s actions: 1 day rest,1 day comment, 1 day only browsing, 1 day any action you choose.

              Another note for you: but bans are always a possibility due to various reasons (bad links, poor-quality or flagged proxies) or flagged VPN’s.
