The goal of reddit has always been to provide something good to read when you're bored. The policies are optimized for this use case. The goal of reddit is emphatically not to provide a promotion vehicle for a given content producer. In other words, if the reddit listings are dull, that's a major problem. If a particular site isn't making it through to a particular listing, well, if there's time someone might look into it. But it's just not a top priority. And frankly, if you only participate in the site to promote your own content, I'm not so sure I'd call the spam filter wrong in this case.
