Mod Post Friendly Reminder: Self-Promotion is Not Allowed on r/smallyoutubechannels 🚨

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to drop a quick reminder regarding the rules of this community. While we all love sharing our hard work and growing our channels, direct self-promotion is not allowed on r/smallyoutubechannels.

Post links to your individual videos, channel pages, or asking people to "sub for sub" or check out your latest upload goes against our core guidelines

Why do we have this rule?

This subreddit is designed to be a space for constructive feedback, sharing analytics, discussing strategy, and helping each other improve as creators—not just a dumping ground for links.

When everyone just drops links, the community gets cluttered, and the valuable advice discussions get buried.

Where can you share your work?

Feedback Fridays / Weekly Megathreads: Keep an eye out for our official weekly threads where sharing your content for critique is welcomed and encouraged!

Critique-for-Critique: If you participate in community discussions and offer genuine, helpful feedback to other creators first, you can often share your link within those contextually relevant conversations (just always check specific thread rules first).

Let’s keep r/smallyoutubechannels a high-value space for learning and growing together. If you want genuine feedback and tips on how to improve your content, feel free to start a discussion about your editing style, thumbnails, or analytics instead!
Keep creating! 🚀

Mod Post r/smallyoutubechannels is under new management🎉

24 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Big changes are coming to the subreddit. We’ve officially transitioned to new management, and we are ready to turn this community into the ultimate hub for small creators to grow, collaborate, and actually get constructive feedback.
Here is what you need to know about the transition and what's changing starting today:

🛠️ What’s Changing?
Revamped Rulebook: We are clearing out the spam and low-effort self-promotion. Going forward, community threads will be heavily moderated to prioritize real engagement and high-value discussions.

Better Feedback Systems: Tired of link-dumping where nobody actually watches your video? We are rolling out structured feedback days and pairing requirements so that if you post your content, you actually have to help out a fellow creator too.

Resource Megathreads: We are putting together updated guides on thumbnail design, SEO, audience retention, and algorithm breakdowns written specifically for channels under 1,000 subscribers.
Active Mod Team: The new team is fully dedicated to keeping the queue clean, removing bots, and highlighting genuinely helpful content.

🚀 What Do You Need To Do?
1. Check the Rules: Give the updated sidebar a quick read once it goes live so you don't accidentally get caught in the spam filter.

Introduce Yourself: Drop a comment below telling us what your channel is about, what your biggest YouTube struggle is right now, and what you want to see more of in this community.
Keep Creating: Keep grinding on your content! We're here to help you cross that monetization and subscriber finish line.

Let’s build the best creator community on Reddit together.
