Yeah my 10+ yr account was like #340 in comment karma or some shit, I was clearly a contributor, but they banned me for nothing. Wish I would have sold it now.

you can sell an reddit account?

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah they can be worth quite a lot too

[–] creisel@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

How much would be quite a lot? Like 100 or more like 10000000?

[–] dil@piefed.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

couple forums and older ones have decent value, you can even sell suble ad like posts, didn't see that til after my permaban, people will pay you money to post on your account with karma/age about their stuff lol, makes me really dislike that system more, like most new ppl cant even get help because they can't comment/post in most subs.

blackhatworld is one, i think

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

How much karma was that? I lost 3 accounts and one had over 100k comment karma, so they lost another good user here as well.

I loved to post solutions to problems that never got solved on several subreddits, oh well.

[–] AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So how does a person sell their account !?

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I'm also interested. Why not? Better to sell it now that has value than just getting banned.

Woah... what's this? I had no idea reddit accounts hold value!
