Isn't this problematic due to the 1:10 self-promotion rule on reddit?
"For every 1 time you post self-promotional content, 9 other posts (submissions or comments) should not contain self-promotional content."
- voxic11 6y agoThat's not a rule, its a guideline from a page that states its "no longer updated".
- woahAcademia 6y agoThe rule only Applies to small businesses. Big companies buy accounts that have been used for years.
- dclusin 6y agoAccounts are pretty cheap to buy
- seanwilson 6y agoI never understood why that rule doesn't include comments. Like if you posted a ton of helpful comments and zero posts, you wouldn't be allowed to post a link you made yourself. I don't think there's anything wrong with promoting blog posts or apps you've made yourself unless it's really excessive. How are people supposed to get started otherwise? It's okay if you're a huge tech site, a big newspaper etc. because people will auto-post your new posts to try to earn some karma but who is going to do that when you've only got a handful of readers?
- andrewmcwatters 6y agoSelectively enforced. I have a small enough profile and don’t advertise much and my account is nothing but promotions.
- exolymph 6y agoDe facto the only enforcers of this rule are moderators, who care more about their subreddit-specific rules anyway.
