Is reddit useful?

[OnlyUltimate]

If so, can you please share some subreddits you use. If not, explain why. I ask this question because there are very little places you can share your content without looking like spam, and subreddits look like the only place you can rely on for me. For example the subreddit NewTubers is specifically for promoting YouTube channels and I've started using it just now so I don't know if it's any good. I just don't want to waste my time on reddit if it doesn't help my channel.

Reddit being useful depends on the person writhing the sub reddit but I'm not sure I would not depend on it

It's been useful to me for networking and getting a bit of advice but don't start spamming.

So it's not good for getting views and subs but can help with getting people to collab and such?

Well it can get you views and subscribers but that depends if your content is any good.

It depends on your video content, for myself I can post to the Hearthstone reddit. Remember as well, you can't post all your videos often, you can get shadowbanned for it.

Ok but I play a lot of different games and stuff it's finding the right subreddit to post in that's difficult. Has using reddit helped your channel as a whole?

I used it one time, and I got 150 for a lackluster video. It works extremely well for getting noticed, but you need to share your best content. I plan on only using it for a rare video.

Been a while since I have posted to reddit but for minecraft videos I post in

/r/minecraft
/r/minecraftinventions
/r/redstone
/r/survivalredstone (my own subreddit)
/r/trueminecraft

Most of these subreddits allow/encourage cross posts (posting the same thing in different subreddits). Also I usually post 10 or so replies for each post I make. So don't just post a link and leave, you should always reply and interact with others in the comunity before posting your own links. Don't just post links of videos, post other things like images and gifs as well.

Post content where people want to find it, if it's a video of a dog, find a dog subreddit. Don't post it to /r/videos

Reddit is a cool community but it did not help me to spread my channel it actually caused dislikes so I quit posting there, I now just use the forums and mainly participate in the secretsanta traditions because I just really love the concept!

I had the same thing. I was active for a while with socializing and then a few months later i shared 1 vid and it got dislike bombed like crazy and spammed with hatefull comments. From that moment i stopped using it.

It can be extremely useful! However you have to follow all of their rules, and all of the subreddit rules or you will get shadowbanned without any notice. They really keep to their 10%-90% content rule.

*as said in another reddit post i replied to*

I used to post on Reddit alot.. just make sure you post to the right sub-reddit and that the people dont mind you posting there.

On another note also accept that you may get alot of negativity from there.. I didnt get it that badly but theres always alot of
fussy and picky people on there who will happily rip sh*t out of you and your content.

not trying to put you off but yes please be aware of that.. on saying that though there is also alot of highly supportive people
