With apologies to Nick

Lucille Bluth says "it's a viral lemmy post; what can it have, eight upvotes?"

Having recently released a free Android/iOS game I can tell you: 25k views on Reddit, 80 visits to my store page. 100 upvotes on Lemmy 600 views on the store.

Reddit is simply full with bots, upvotes mean nothing.

    It's even worse: Popular subreddits like /r/games have a "at most 10% self promotion" rule, so 10% of your posts can be self-promotion. So I thought: Hey, my account is 14 years old or so, over 100k karma, I'll make a post about my game.

    Got instantly taken down, they counted every single patch note post in my own subreddit to the rule. And then I noticed whenever I posted the direct iOS App Store link my post instantly got filtered, even in my own subreddit! The mods heavily pushed me towards buying Reddit ads.
