The same material returns on reddit.com through a different subreddit rather than the same one, usually posted by the same accounts. Watching subreddits misses that; watching the accounts and the material catches it, and a documented pattern from one account is the strongest report available here.
Left up, 40 exposed copies work out to an estimated $234 a month in diverted subscriptions. Estimate, not a measurement: it assumes 0.45 diverted subscribers per exposed post at an average subscription price of $12.99. Your number depends on your pricing and audience.
Removal route for reddit.com
Resolved live · no account · nothing uploaded
A notice for reddit.com goes to a curated route openDMCA already holds.
2 · RDAP abuse contact— resolves.abusecomplaints@markmonitor.com — the registrar's abuse desk, not reddit.com itself. Probed 2026-09-04.
3 · Fallback address— not needed.Not needed — an earlier rung resolved.
4 · Network and search— runs next.Cloudflare detection over DNS-over-HTTPS, then Google and Bing delisting of every indexed reddit.com URL.
What happens to what you type: nothing. The domain is matched against openDMCA's routing table in your browser. No request is made to reddit.com, no page is fetched, and the text is not stored or sent anywhere.
Record the accounts, not only the subreddits. Note which reddit.com accounts posted your material. Subreddits change between rounds; the accounts frequently do not, and the account is what makes a repeat provable.
Search for the material rather than the post. A repost carries a new title in a new subreddit. Searching your name across reddit.com finds more of it than checking the places you already know about.
File each repost through the matching route. A repost of your work is copyright; a new impersonating account is a different report. Routing each round correctly is what keeps the response times short.
Cite the previous rounds. Attach the earlier reddit.com permalinks and dates to each new report. A documented repeat by an identified account is a materially different case from a first complaint.
Keep the delisting list growing. Each repost is a new permalink and a new search result. Adding it to the delisting request is what stops the result outliving the removal.
What monitoring reddit.com can honestly claim
openDMCA queues each found reddit.com item as its own leak with its own route and re-runs its queue every thirty minutes, so a repost found in the morning enters routing the same morning rather than at a weekly review.
The limit is plain: nothing stops an account posting in a different subreddit. What changes is the delay before the repost is found and routed, and whether the pattern is documented well enough to make the account itself the subject of the report.
openDMCA gives the first two hops away: you can open test one URL for a reupload and run it on a URL of your own, with no account and nothing uploaded.
One thing that catches people out on reddit.com
Reposts on reddit.com usually move between subreddits while keeping the same posting accounts, which inverts the obvious monitoring strategy. Watching the three subreddits where the material first appeared produces a clean sheet while the same accounts are posting it somewhere new — and the account, not the subreddit, is the identifier that survives the round.
Frequently asked questions
Why does removal in one subreddit not stop it?
Removal acts on one item in one place. The account keeps the material and other subreddits have their own moderators, so the same content reappears without anything being reversed.
Can an account be suspended?
That is the platform's decision and openDMCA does not promise it. A documented pattern of repeat infringement by one identified account is the strongest available argument for it.
Should I contact moderators each time?
It often helps and it costs little. Moderators act faster than platform-level routes, though they cannot remove the permalink's search index entry, which stays a separate request.
