Does r/marketing allow self-promotion?

What r/marketing's own rules say

Every line below is the room's own sentence, word for word, including its spelling. We pick the sentences about promotion, links and who may post; we never shorten one.

• If you want to advertise to this community have a look here reddit.com/advertising

• Keep in mind this is a place for marketing discussion and questions not growth hacking your blog.

• Please don't ask us to review or give feedback for your website or product.

What it actually removes

r/marketing removed at least 85 posts from newer accounts in 7 days, counted from its own moderator bot's public comments over 7 days, read 10 Oct 2026. Through a public mirror, not the Reddit API.

• at least 85Newer accounts, removed for karma or account age.

The mirror returns at most 100 actions per read and this room filled the page, so every number above is a floor, not a rate.

This counts only what the room announces. A moderator removing something by hand leaves nothing to count, so a low number would prove nothing, which is why we only print this for rooms where it is high.

What to do instead

1. Do not post about your product here. A removed post can cost the account, not just the post.
2. Answer questions instead of announcing. Mention what you sell only when it answers the question, and say it is yours.
3. Build some history in the room first, from an account that has commented before.
4. Read the live rules page before you post. The rules can change after the copy we quote was taken.

Does r/marketing have a self-promotion thread?

Its rules, as quoted on this page, name no thread for promotion. Answering questions in the room is the door that stays open.

How this page was made

The rules come from the arctic-shift public mirror's copy of the room's rules list, sidebar and posting guidelines. We do not use the Reddit API. The posting answer rests on the room's own words when they say anything about promotion, then on removals we counted, then on our inference, and the line under each answer says which. A rule that was rewritten after the mirror's copy was taken will not show here, which is why the capture date is printed above.
