Quoted from the subreddit's own rules, snapshot from July 2026. Read all 9 rules on Reddit

What gets removed

  • Self-promotion or spam, except in the Friday Show and Tell thread
  • Links to your personal or business site
  • Product research and academic research without advance approval
  • Off-topic posts, low quality posts, memes, and posts moderators think do not contribute

Safer ways to show up

  • Use the Friday Show and Tell thread if you want to share a project
  • Join discussion about product management without linking your personal or business site
  • Answer other users' questions and contribute to discussion of product management practice
  • Keep career questions, rants, and getting-started questions in the required threads or use search/wiki
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.
