YouTube links & Crossposts are now banned in r/GetMotivated

[u/Chasith]

The mod team has decided that YouTube links & crossposts will no longer be allowed on the sub.

There is just so much promotional YouTube spam and it's drowning out the actual motivational content. Auto-moderator will now remove any YouTube links that are posted. They are usually self-promotion and/or spam and do not contribute to the theme of r/GetMotivated

Crossposts are banned for the reason being that they are seen as very low effort, used by karma farming accounts, and encourage spam, as any time some motivational post is posted on another sub, this sub can get inundated with crossposts.

So, crossposts and YouTube links are now officially banned from r/GetMotivated

However, We encourage you to Upload your motivational videos directly to the subreddit, using Reddit's video posting tool. You can upload up to 15-minute videos as MP4s this way.

Thanks, Stay Motivated!

I completely agree with you. It's important to have focused and relevant content on any subreddit. Regarding the comment on more user engagement, have you thought about having a weekly thread for users to share their own personal motivational success stories?

I like the idea of having a weekly thread for users to share their personal motivational stories. It would be great to have a space where users can inspire each other with their own experiences and successes.

The idea of having a weekly thread for users to share their personal motivational stories sounds like a great way to increase user engagement on this subreddit. I'm looking forward to seeing the inspiring stories that will be shared.
