Dormant Reddit Accounts Bought to Spam Competitors for AEO Visibility
lilyraynyc · x · 2026-08-23
Veteran SEO Lily Ray flags a case worth investigating: people are spamming Reddit to game AI search engines (AEO).
The exposed account was inactive for 3+ years, then suddenly resurfaced 9 months ago—dumping on Semrush and Ahrefs while promoting a competitor, with its posting history shifting from random life content to SEO topics. Classic pattern of buying aged accounts for Reddit AEO visibility.
