    would I be able to promote any of my products or would I be banned for doing so?

      If you have made a good product that is relevant to the audience you might even gain karma.
    • luobogor 2y ago
      If your content or comments receive downvotes from users, you may lose some karma.

      If it isn't free or YC-backed, they're going to cock-block you anyway.
