Recently noticed that many new Reddit accounts get posts removed or accounts flagged very quickly. What do you think is the biggest mistake beginners usually make when starting on Reddit?

Biggest mistake is overposting
One post with 10000 votes is worth more than 10000 posts with 1 vote

Biggest mistake is acting like a marketer from day 1 new users start dropping links copy paste comments or posting too fast in many subreddits Reddit users notice this quickly and mods remove posts better look human engage normal and build karma slowly first

Everyone is saying overposting or trying to be Visible. Reddit relying on Automation systems alone is a big mistake. Some new accounts do not even do anything wrong but still get removed. This whole AI Automation system is becoming ridiculous and Instagram is picking that up as well.

The biggest mistake beginners make is trying to promote too early instead of first building credibility through genuine participation and valuable contributions.

I would say the biggest mistake is using Reddit as a marketing platform in place of a community platform. I think Building trust and offering value usually leads to better results in the long run.
