Every time it tries to create an account the captcha gets blocked, so the script gets stuck. Does this eventually not happen by chance if you run the script long enough?

Just wanted to follow up, it does appear to be a numbers game because several attempts have succeeded. It appears that the success rate is around 2-3% though, takes a while. However, its fine if you just run it overnight or in the background.

Sadly, nowadays the script feels very bad with tor proxy. So much so that now it is more efficient to use local IP without proxy

I'm slowly working on solving the problem, recently dded fake user-agents and integrated this selenium driver on the fly: https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver
But there are a few things to work out, and a lot of work is still needed to roll everything out in a stable release

Thanks for following up, glad to see you're working on improving this. Just leaving this as a note for others looking to use this script. The accounts this script creates cannot be used with the Reddit API, they get suspended almost instantly (my guess is because of the tor proxies being used to create them).

Update

Turns out that the undetected-chromedriver didn't really changed anything much

But I plan to add support for 2Captcha service (paid, but cheap) soon, which should completely remove this error.
