community rules

Can you promote your product in r/ChatGPT?

You can promote something in r/ChatGPT only under specific limits. Rule 3, "Self Advertising," says posts "must be directly related to ChatGPT or the topic of AI" and "may not be solely focused on advertising a single other LLM service," and the structured rules add that those posts "should directly go to weekly self-promotional mega thread, which is pinned."

The rules that cover promotion

Rule 3: Self Advertising

"Posts must be directly related to ChatGPT or the topic of AI. They may not be solely focused on advertising a single other LLM service"

Rule 3: Self Advertising

Quoted from the subreddit's own rules, snapshot from July 2026. Read all 6 rules on Reddit

What gets removed

Posts solely focused on advertising a single other LLM service
Low-effort or entirely without value posts
"Is ChatGPT down?" posts
NSFW content, repeated offenses may result in a ban

Safer ways to show up

If your post promotes a single other LLM service, use the pinned weekly self-promotional mega thread
Keep your post directly related to ChatGPT or AI
Make it useful and substantive, not low effort or purely promotional
Participate in good faith and avoid misinformation presented as fact

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.
