Anyone still getting solid traffic from Reddit in 2025?

A few years ago, Reddit could drive thousands of visits easily. Now, engagement feels slower. Is it still worth the effort, or has Reddit’s algorithm become too strict for marketers?

Reddit has more active weekly users than ever before I think its around 400 mil. active users weekly so its super strong

Lol… look at how much traffic reddit gets every month, then ask yourself again.

Even on my normal reddit account, zero promotions, i’ve had threads reach 1m+ impressions, and i regularly get comments and DMs (which could be leads if i sold to them) from people asking for more help.

Now imagine you’re a monster with 100s of aged/karma accounts, a robust system leveraging antidetect +resi/mobi proxies, a smart content marketing methodology where you don’t drop URLs but you soft link to trusted reddit and/or 3rd party URLs like google doc, and a stealthy upvote system.

You basically have a money printing machine

15 years ago, craigslist was all the craze. $1k+ days were possible via ewhoring and slinging free credit reports. However, it was oversaturated, abused, everyone knew about it, and there was only so much traffic / offers to take advantage of. Not to mention CL is such a shit site to look at.

Now, we have reddit with 100x the traffic/opportunities, WAY more niches to take advantage of, and WAY less competition since almost nobody knows jack shit about how to exploit it (except for the OFM monsters… that’s a niche with a lot of competition. It’s like CL ewhoring evolved). If you can find a WH niche, you are golden.

Reddit still works, but traffic is niche dependent. Focus on valuable, community-driven posts instead of blatant promotion to get consistent engagement.

Yeah, still getting some, but it’s way harder now depends a lot on the niche and timing.

It’s still worth using, but results now depend heavily on genuine participation in niche subreddits; overly promotional posts get buried fast.

Yeah, traffic feels slower now, but it’s still good if you post real value. Reddit just rewards trust and consistency more than before.

It still works, just not the "spam and pray" way. Reddit favors authentic posts that blend in naturally, so traffic comes slower but converts better.

Reddit's current policies are very strict, making posting and gaining traffic quite difficult. Using advertising is a much faster and easier solution.

It is perfect to validate ideas with lead magnets.

Traffic is still possible, but Reddit is stricter now. You need more natural posts, real accounts, and slow actions. If you do it right, you can still get good traffic, just not as easy as before.
