Quoted from the subreddit's own rules, snapshot from July 2026. Read all 5 rules on Reddit

What gets removed

  • Anything outside B2B news, questions, and professional discussion
  • Influencer-style posts telling users to DM you or comment below
  • Posts promoting your company, agency, or service
  • Clearly AI generated posts, user banned

Safer ways to show up

  • Post B2B news
  • Ask clear questions
  • Join professional discussion about B2B marketing trends
  • Avoid telling users to DM you or comment below for your offer
Whatever the written rules say, the pattern that gets promo removed everywhere is the same: batches of similar comments, reused wording, and necro-posting on old threads. A promotional mention only has value if it survives, so pace matters more than volume. We measured this the expensive way: 70% of bought pool comments were removed within two weeks.
