Just an update on my efforts, it's essentially a shit show. Trying to market on Reddit since July is like trying to herd cats. I've had around 30 microworkers try and post comments, I'd say 98% of them were from banned accounts that they were unaware had been banned. Bizarely, two of the comments are still up four days later from an account that signed up on the same day and made comments for me.
There's no rhyme or reason to it. Anything even approaching a link is instanly vaporuised, it says it's either been removed by the mod, which I assume is auto mod, or it says removed by Reddit. Comments where I don't mention the link, just the brand, four have stayed, the rest nuked.
The weird thing is, my brand name is made up of generic words. Think, for example, Burger Van, that's how generic the words are, and the posts are made in threads that are about burger vans. They still get nuked.
IMO, people that are saying 'oh, just warm up your account and follow the rules' are either lucky or they're bots trying to sell you crap. If it is generally working for you, more power to ya, but I feel it's only an update or two away from you being nuked too. Start making plans to market elsewhere, because this gravy train is done.
It was fun while it lasted, but I'm out.
