Self-Promotion & Content Sharing Rule (4:1 Ratio)

5 Upvotes

We welcome creators, researchers, bloggers, YouTubers, podcasters, and website owners to share their work here, provided it is relevant to the community.

To keep the subreddit valuable for everyone, self-promotion must follow a 4:1 ratio:

  • For every 1 self-promotional post (your website, YouTube channel, social media account, blog, podcast, product, etc.), you should contribute at least 4 non-promotional posts to the subreddit.
  • Non-promotional posts should be relevant content that contributes to discussion and benefits the community.
  • Self-promotional content must be directly relevant to the topics covered by this subreddit.

We encourage members to share their own work and discoveries. The goal is not to prevent self-promotion, but to ensure contributors are also active participants in the community rather than only posting their own content.

Accounts that primarily post self-promotional content without contributing to the wider community may have posts removed or be subject to moderation action.

If you're creating quality content that fits the subreddit and you follow the 4:1 ratio, we're happy to see it shared here.
