The fastest way to get shadowbanned on Reddit:

1. Create account
2. Immediately post about your product
3. Wonder why nobody sees it

Reddit's spam filter is smarter than you think.

Build karma first. Promote second.

I got shadow banned on Reddit trying to promote my SaaS.

No warning. No email. Just... silence.

My posts stopped getting views. My replies disappeared.

3 months of account building — gone.

Here's what I learned (and what I built to fix it): 🧵

using ai to compress months into weeks

but then spending those saved weeks debating which parts to automate

instead of just shipping with a prompt and moving on. anyone else do this?

90% of "Reddit marketing" advice is actually "how to get banned faster."

The 10% that works:
→ Warm up your account
→ Give value first
→ Mention your product last

It's not complicated. It's just slow.

(Unless you have the right tools)

sharing your messy ai workflow gets you more builder friends than polished product screenshots

the unpolished process is what other indie hackers actually want to see

drop your embarrassingly simple setup below 👇

this meme perfectly captures why os debates are pointless

macos users whine about price
windows folks rage at random crashes
linux fans? just here for the pain

pick any. it's just a set of trade-offs

which one do you actually use, and why

The Reddit karma catch-22:

You can't promote your product until you have karma.
You can't get karma without spending hours writing replies.
You can't spend hours writing replies because you're building a product.

How do you escape this loop?

i'll build an ai chrome extension, post about it on build in public, and become an indie hacker

POV: you're a solo dev shipping an AI tool.
