Yeah, good point and definitely agree with this.
I don't actually promote my product on Reddit, I just promote useful content I've created. My posts pretty consistently reach #1 on /r/django because (I suspect) I put substantially more time and effort into them than the average Django guide. I also try quite hard to be a good citizen and give back in a non-promotional way.
Edit: I didn't know about those numbers/terms you added. Will take a look and update my behavior accordingly if necessary.
- abcxjeb284 6y agoI wouldn’t call your posts “self-promos”. You’re actually posting guides, not “2 lines of text now buy my product”. You’re already being a reasonable redditor.
- czue 6y agoThanks for saying this. Certainly how I feel, but I haven't read the rules...
- chowndown 6y agoI had my domain "banned" after arguing with a very self aggrandizing mod (and almost exclusively self promoting poster) in a particular sub. My offense? An instructional blog about how to scrape commonly requested data by many members of the sub.
- skinnymuch 6y agoYour domain gets banned in that specific subreddit?
- pc86 6y agoI tend to agree with you, but posting your own content is by definition self-promotion if it's content marketing (which the vast majority of your blog posts are). At the very least that's how a power-hungry Reddit mod with a bug up their butt will treat it.
