Reddit Sucks

Had a nice system going..

Would post a few random articles in either news/video/inthenews/some random subreddit + comment on few posts + post my youtube content and use microworkers to slowly upvote.

Worked up to today and few sections auto stopped me from posting as you know they all want original content.. no reporting in other subreddits. I posted a in /inthenews got up to 165 upvotes with mass comments (non microworkers).

I decided to message mods if I can post the same story in /news which has much more members.

Post got removed and was permanently banned from those subreddits for "spam"

So pissed right now.. Yet I was seeing nice results yielding my youtube videos..

Your content must be close to what others share on those subs.

Another reason for getting banned might be the upvoting you did.
Plus, on reddit you can spot accounts used for promotion from miles away.

I actually have decent karma and the 5 posts I self promoted I had other posts which was not related. On top of that I was active member of few communities... just sucks.

Reddit is very hard to get into, a lot of time needs to be put into it.
Yet I see a lurker that you see 100% spammer doesnt get banned lol.. just post articles from same site in 10 subreddits everyday.
