I don't have anything to add- yeah the reddit marketing sucks, it's opportunistic for sure. Only thing I will say is that it's generally pretty well received and I follow the sub's particular rules.

Ah yes, classic Reddit.... Criticising someone for using the platform in a way that's completely rule-abiding for something they just don't like. Why do you care? Can't he spread his game to people who might enjoy it? I'm glad I saw this ama post, otherwise I wouldn't have heard about this and wouldn't have looked into a game I could've potentially enjoyed. Plus it's not like he copy-pasted in every subreddit. If you notice, he personalised each post to the subreddit it was going in to relate to the content. That's more than most would be willing to do. Get off your high horse dude.

Edit: am dumb, meant to respond to op commenter, point still stands

It doesn’t bother me, but for what it’s worth I do believe Reddit has (used to have) a policy which was basically “it’s okay to have a business and a Reddit account, it’s not okay to have a Reddit account for your business”. And I remember something about less than a certain percentage of posts and comments being self-promo.

But like I said, I’m not annoyed by it really. The crap gets downvoted for the most part.

Edit: was it something I said? 😇

Well technically anyone who uses reddit to spam attention to their onlyfans page is using it as a business account, and sometimes with a ridiculous percentage of posts.. They don't clog up the subs I go on, but I know it's a thing.
