are you getting an actual error when editing, or does reddit remove the change after saving? those usually point to different issues, so i'd narrow that down before changing the promo strategy.

you can't really bypass the edit button; the only work-around is deleting and reposting, which loses any karma and breaks comment threads, or using ~~strike-through~~ markdown to hide the old text, but the edit history stays visible
I meant, whenever I edit a post, it gets taken down by reddit almost immediately.

What were you advertising? Because I believe your post got flagged.

when you try to edit or does the change disappear after saving? those could separate issues so figure out which one is happening before trying a different way promote the brand.

I suspect that you are flagged. Reddit is very strict these days. check for flagged notifications and correct what they are flagging

Make sure your post is not voilating any subreddit rules and not triggering spam filters. Go to moderators and find out the actual cause. Promote your brand in reddit Ads and try to share genuine information that can help others at places where your brand is relevant for discussions.

I am also facing a similar issue. Whenever I try to edit my old comment and submit comment with link then, the comment get removed automatically after few hours. The comments with links are not getting approved on any post.

Use the Reddit API with PRAW: install via pip install praw, authenticate with a script, then call comment.edit('new text'). tip: keep a local backup of the original markdown because the API won't show edit history
what was the purpose of your edit? if its for promotion edit it hard to prevent removal
If all my efforts to edit keep being blocked i would simply give up and consider other options like reddit ads or writing some thng niche related with a promotion in the comment section.

If edits aren't working, check whether the post is locked or restricted. For promotion, try Reddit Ads or contribute useful, transparent posts where self-promotion is allowed instead of repeatedly editing brand mentions.

is it happening every post or only with brand related ones? reddit can restrict edits for different reasons so check if the same issue happens with a normal post too.
