I’ve been doing a lot of testing lately and have noticed that most ‘badly made accounts’ will die within 48hours. This can happen on a proxy or off.
I first noticed this when I purchased scrapers and forgot to use them after a few days. They all were dead!
This is a user I have always bought from, but I just thought that most scrapers would die within that time anyway. Then I realized most would die within 48hours even without scraping.
I have been trying to learn how to make amazing accounts for the last 6 months and in my opinion my slaves are perfect. I never have issues with them.
The scrapers however have been a pain in the ass to figure out. I make my slaves by hand and didn’t want to waste time making hundreds of scrapers.
So, I tried at least 5 account making bots, scripts etc and they all had one thing in common. The accounts die within 48hours. I decided to make some scrapers by hand and left them on a proxy for a week and all of them stayed alive. They also lasted longer with scraping. (They still got captcha, but passed it easier and got more api calls done).
So, my suggestion is to buy or create a small batch of accounts and leave them on a proxy for 48 hours to test how many get captcha. Then see if it is scalable. A good account should be able to stay alive with no actions and even no proxy attached to it. If they don’t last, buy from a different supplier.
Before people ask. I am not selling handmade scrapers, it takes too much time doing it the way I do it. I only make slaves for other people.
Yeah. It’s just something I never thought about until recently. Scrapers to me were just kill accounts, but now are becoming more expensive to use. Its important to find quality accounts nowadays.
Ive found most virtual numbers to be useless. They can make accounts but the accounts seem to die faster. A friend reckons that most virtual numbers are tracked.
Ive been using real sims with way better success. More costly but worth it.
$1 per sim and nah I usually can have 2-3 accounts per sim but have noticed if you do get a bad account it can make the sim number bad too. (Ie unable to create a new account).
I have only been using my own sims for slaves. I’m still testing what I need for scrapers. Goal is to have an army of scrapers that never die that can hit high api calls.
