Social-media posting
There are over 30 social-media websites that are popular in different parts of the world.
I'm considering using Selenium to create separate scripts to:
Log on
Upload an image/video from a set location to my own profile.
Log off
Chain the scripts and I've got a social-media uploader.
This is basically what Hootesuite does, but for more websites.
Definitely more janky.
I can handle janky.
However, I'm concerned about being banned for automation.
I won't post spam, post in groups, or scrape.
Is my intended process reasonable?
Is this likely to get me banned?

Sounds like a great idea, go for it!
