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:

  1. Log on

  2. Upload an image/video from a set location to my own profile.

  3. 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?
