This happened to me multiple times on Facebook when trying to open new accounts to view some walled garden content, each time I used a different mail address on a domain I control in an incognito browser session. The accounts would just get blocked after a day.

On the last attempt I thought that I should feed the ML model with more data so I liked some pages and posted some random stuff to the profile. The account still works without any further activity besides using it to view content once very couple of moons.

I came to the conclusion that creating an account and not immediately using it is a ban. Just another reason to not use these platforms, they don't even want our business.



I went a different way. I bought 10 facebook accounts from a web site that specializes in that stuff. Each worked for some time, but eventually after a year all got banned. I didn't post anything, just visited neighborhood forums.
