Quoted from the subreddit's own rules, snapshot from July 2026. Read all 13 rules on Reddit

What gets removed

  • Self-promotional posts, ads, follower requests, and lead generation content
  • Posts that push people into pitches, DMs, or a marketing funnel
  • Standalone UGC opportunity posts, opportunities must go in the weekly thread
  • Affiliate links without disclosure and personal experience or a review

Safer ways to show up

  • Share thoughtful, specific, useful content that adds value and does not lead to pitches or DMs
  • If posting a UGC opportunity, use the Weekly Paid UGC Opportunities Thread and follow its template and compensation rules
  • If you include an affiliate link, disclose it and include your personal experience or a review
  • Keep posts relevant to UGC and avoid low effort or AI generated filler content
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.
