Is owning your own subreddits the new cheat code?

I think everyone here has noticed what the filters have turned into these last months. Karma gates, account age gates, half the decent subs auto-removing anything that even smells like a brand mention. Aging accounts and dripping comments for weeks just to slip one brand mention through is starting to look like terrible ROI.

So I keep landing on the same idea: just own the subs.

If you're the mod, the filter is yours. And this is the part I actually want opinions on,,, even when a comment does get caught by Reddit's own filter, you can go into the queue as mod and manually approve it. It goes live anyway. On paper the filter barely matters once you're the one holding the queue.

Question is whether that's actually safe:

• Does manually approving filtered promo comments put a flag on your mod account with the admins?
• Has anyone here actually been suspended for it? Or the sub nuked?
• Or is it still a blind spot nobody really enforces?

I own a sub and I think there is something to be said about the ability to post to whatever the heck you want

It's an underrated tactic, IMO

If your sub actually has visitors and drives traffic, well you're in for a treat

Its easier to get email subs on the web than it is to get subs on a random sub reddit. There are more people searching online than there are just on reddit. You have to build up the sub, like any digital asset, before you can do anything.

I don't think there is any shortage of places to market on reddit, its just spam that is better caught these days. Look for subs that have a label of self creations, and make a list. I have a list of at least 50 that are perfect for all my niches work. I figured tehm out by joining and looking at subreddits, and seeing other people promote with self creation tag labels.

You really don't need to own a subreddit to market on reddit. Nobody wants to sub where its just spamming by someone of their product, claiming "yeah i got it sorted cause i got subs" reality is any real spamming, and the sub will get closed. People here i've read this happening too.

owning subs def changes things if u got real traffic. aged account + active sub is a solid combo, roi is way better than just aging and dripping comments for weeks. the mod queue thing works but reddit watches accounts that approve too many flagged posts, so gotta be careful not to trigger algo flags

I own a network of subs. I just sold a large portion.

There's huge benefits to owning a sub. Definitely love it.

However, the bans that just hit some associates of mine today (who dont spam... just redditors ) was so random ....... I expect people to start reporting losing subs very soon

And I even expect to lose some of mine.

It's that serious.
