Estimated survival rate

98%

of 800 recent r/NewTubers posts we sampled were still publicly visible about a day later.

How this is measured

Estimate. We sample recent public posts and check again about 18 hours later to count how many are still publicly visible. Posts removed at the moment of submission never become publicly visible at all, so the true removal rate is at least this high. Last sampled Sep 5, 2026.

r/NewTubers does not publish karma or account-age minimums in its rules. Subreddits often enforce unpublished filters on top of what they write down, which is why posts from new accounts can vanish without a message here.

Can you self-promote in r/NewTubers?

Only in the designated thread. r/NewTubers restricts promotion to Feedback Friday & Self-Introduce Saturday Megathreads; a standalone promo post gets removed. The sub's own wording: "You are only allowed to post links to your content in The Weekly *Feedback Friday* and *Self-Introduce Saturday* Megathreads". Post your promo there and keep regular posts value-first.

What gets removed in r/NewTubers

  • Self-promo outside the designated thread

    Promotion is only allowed in Feedback Friday & Self-Introduce Saturday Megathreads. A standalone promo post gets removed.

  • Low karma or a new account

    r/NewTubers publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size. New accounts should comment before posting.

  • AI-generated content

    r/NewTubers removes content it judges to be AI-generated. Obvious AI phrasing in a draft raises removal risk even when a human wrote most of it.

  • Reddit's sitewide spam filter

    A separate layer before the subreddit ever sees your post. New accounts posting links, URL shorteners, and repeated domains are its favorite targets. Removals are instant and silent.

  • A shadowbanned account

    If the account itself is shadowbanned, every post looks live to you and invisible to everyone else, in any subreddit.

r/NewTubers posting questions

Can I post links in r/NewTubers?

No. r/NewTubers accepts text posts only, so a link-only submission is rejected at the door. You can usually mention a link inside the body text, but the sub's rules on self-promotion still apply to it. Check your draft against the rules before posting.

Does r/NewTubers require karma to post?

r/NewTubers does not publish a karma minimum. That does not mean there is none: many subreddits enforce unpublished karma and account-age filters that remove posts silently. If your account is new or has little karma, that is the first thing to rule out when a post disappears.

Can you self-promote in r/NewTubers?

Only in the designated thread. r/NewTubers restricts promotion to Feedback Friday & Self-Introduce Saturday Megathreads; a standalone promo post gets removed. The sub's own wording: "You are only allowed to post links to your content in The Weekly *Feedback Friday* and *Self-Introduce Saturday* Megathreads". Post your promo there and keep regular posts value-first.

Is r/NewTubers strict?

Moderate, by our estimate (24/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 11 rules, and its stated gates). About 2% of recent posts disappeared within a day in our sample. Strictness is about enforcement, not hostility: a strict sub is predictable if you follow its rules.

Does r/NewTubers allow AI-generated content?

No. r/NewTubers removes content it judges to be AI-generated. That includes obviously AI-phrased text even when a human edited it, so rewrite drafts in your own voice before posting here.

What is the best time to post in r/NewTubers?

Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Monday 10am UTC and Monday 6pm UTC. Treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee: a post that breaks a rule gets removed at any hour. The heatmap on this page converts these windows to your local time.

Why do posts get removed in r/NewTubers?

The most common reasons are self-promotion violations, plus the layers every subreddit has: Reddit's sitewide spam filter, unpublished AutoMod rules, and account-level gates like karma and age. In our recent sample, roughly 2% of r/NewTubers posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.

Stop getting silently removed.
