community rules

Can you promote your product in r/YouTube_startups?

The rules provided do not address self-promotion directly. You can see posting limits and behavior rules, such as "You need at least 20 karma and 7 days of account age to post" in Rule 1, "Selling, buying or offering paid services of any kind is Not Allowed" in Rule 2, and "Do not spam" in Rule 3, but there is no explicit self-promo rule, so Reddit-wide norms also apply.

The rules that cover promotion

Rule 2

"Selling, buying or offering paid services of any kind is Not Allowed and will result in immediate ban."

Rule 3

"Do not spam."

Rule 3

"Only SFW links are allowed."

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.
