It's all getting to be so convoluted... The common thread is usually in buying already popular/followed accounts, running platform ads, and subverting everyone else with downvotes so your posts rise to the top... Yikes... I had a sub of my own, and I just kept it set to personal posts, but eventually reddit banned all my associated accounts for cross posting to a music subreddit (first time offense = permanent ban), and that orphaned my subreddit to this day. I refuse to have to resort to wild tactics online just to be visible, even though I could hack things, I also fear that's exactly what will cause me to eventually quit out of a lack of growth.
