i’ve seen some on forums, just search for aged accounts for sale. But be careful, because those bots are usually bought by:
- crypto scammers
- election disinformation groups. and sold by some shady sellers residing in some sanctioned countries.
Aged reddit accounts don’t worth much though, 2000 karma goes for like 20 bucks max, probably lot lower.
So, is it worth selling it for 20 - 30 bucks that might come around to scam your parents, sway your election, or maybe even getting yourself on some watchlist.
11 years, a username with no numbers, and over 120k Karma is worth a lot more, but I’d rather keep that handle in tact rather than change it everywhere unless it was a truly stupid amount of money, like erase all my debts money. I have been offered (very low) 5 figures more than once. No way of knowing how serious those offers were though, could easily have been scams.
10 years and 150K karma, I probably wouldn’t sell it but would love to know how much its worth.
“I made a G today” “But you made it in a sleazy way”
I don’t have much moral quarrel with crypto scammers compared to election disinformation. They only affect people dumb enough to fall for it.
Election disinformation potentially affects a whole country.
EDIT: added compared to election disinformation.
“I don’t care about protecting the vulnerable. They deserve it. You know, for being vulnerable.”
Well you have a point. I was trying to say that crypto scams aren’t nearly as harmful as election disinformation is.
Before you do that. Anyone ever done a GDPR request and seen what type of data is provided? Is it just comments and posts or some more extra user identifying details like ip addresses used and outbound clicks and so on?
It contains 31 CSV files, including evert comment, post, everything. Except which alt accounts they think you also have. There’s one for any Twitter accounts you’ve linked, and it has files for everything you’ve voted on.
The real benefit of getting it is you can use the post and comment CSV files with the github version of shreddit (the website version charges you $15) and actually delete everything. PowerDeleteSuite only gets the content on your profile, under New, Hot, Top & Controversial, where each list is limited in size - old comments with lower karma will be excluded.
Also reddit has been restoring deleted content. This may be to do with how reddit CDN servers work, rather than something intentional, but it’s scummy regardless. You have to do it over several days to make sure you get everything.
A full list of what I got:
- account_gender.csv
- approved_submitter_subreddits.csv
- chat_history.csv
- checkfile.csv
- comments.csv
- comment_headers.csv
- comment_votes.csv
- drafts.csv
- friends.csv
- gilded_comments.csv
- gilded_posts.csv
- hidden_posts.csv
- ip_logs.csv
- linked_identities.csv (this was empty for me, but obviously they do know my alts as they banned those as well as my main)
- linked_phone_number.csv
- message_headers.csv
- messages.csv
- moderated_subreddits.csv
- multireddits.csv
- poll_votes.csv
- post_headers.csv
- posts.csv
- reddit_gold_information.csv
- saved_comments.csv
- saved_posts.csv
- scheduled_posts.csv
- statistics.csv
- subscribed_subreddits.csv
- twitter.csv
- user_preferences.csv
I’m in the process of doing that right now, it’s been a few days since I asked for the data request, they’re yet to get back to me.
Edit: almost 2 weeks later and nothing! Edit numero dos: July 3rd, finally received my data.
Perhaps that best idea to mess with reddit
Or mess with yourself when a very wrong person buys it and they’ve your IP logged countless times. You might get away if you tell them that you were hacked, but there might be some trouble and a need for a new door.
