What its rules say about promotion
Rule 3: Remember the Crit
This is a place for artists to give and receive critique, not for sharing, self-promotion or asking business advice. Include details about your work so that others can give you better feedback. Empty posts without context, which don't ask for feedback, posts promoting your social-media or posts fishing for compliments may be removed. Comments must also contain critique. We will remove comments that do not contain constructive critique.

What its rules say about AI and bots
Rule 5: Original Art by the OP Only. No AI.
All artwork must be the creation of the original poster. You may not post for a friend, relative, or artwork you're "trying to find the artist" of. In order to keep the flow of communication going, we require the creator of the piece to be the one to post it from their own account.

What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
