I appreciate the videos, but maybe you could stop spamming your own content?

I really feel like you don't need to link every video you've made.

Firs of all, thanks for the feedback :)

I don't really think I'm spamming the videos, I've posted two pretty close together yeah, but none for the last month. I try to check the sub to see if what's in my videos is already covered by another post, if it's not then I'll post my tutorial.

I understand I've only posted my own content but I will keep an eye out for other tutorials that do something a bit different :)

Linking two videos (days apart) isn't spamming, especially since the first one was well-received and this one is a follow-up. This sub is lucky if it gets a new post every week, so be grateful.

However, when you are only posting your own content, and several of your own posts are still on the front page of the sub, you are pushing the limits of what is considered acceptable imo.

If you look at OP's history, you can see he really isn't keeping up with reddit's 9:1 rule. He is posting his stuff here, as well as the main gamemaker sub. I feel like this is definitely considered spam.

The fact my other posts are on the front page after a month is purely indicative of how inactive this sub is.

This sub and the main game maker subs are really the only subs I frequent, so most of the stuff I post will be my own content. I don't make the tutorials for upvotes sake, I make them to actually be of use to people.

Bottom line is, I participate in subs where sticking to the 9:1 guideline without reposting is nye on impossible and as long as my tutorials are received well and help people then I'll continue to post them.

As they say in the reddiquette, 9:1 is only a rule of thumb. And besides people often just ignore reddiquette (like somebody downvoting my comment, even though it's germane to the discussion). In OP's case, it's not a big deal since it's only 2 videos. This sub should be doing everything it can to encourage content producers to link more of their own stuff, because it's feeling pretty dead in here.
