Questions people ask about accounts & karma

Why are my Reddit posts removed right away?
Usually because of the subreddit's automatic filters: minimum account age, minimum karma, or a ban on links. Check the subreddit's rules and your account's age and karma first; if every post disappears everywhere, test for a shadowban.
Can I avoid building karma before marketing on Reddit?
You can post from accounts that already have it. Bazzly posts replies from aged, warmed-up accounts it operates, at 10 credits a comment, so your own profile carries no risk. Posting from your own account through the Bazzly extension is free.

Skip the karma grind

Post from aged, warmed-up accounts

  • Aged accounts with real karma
  • Automatic refunds on removed comments
  • Or post from your own account, free
