What this page is
This page quotes r/youtube's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-06. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/youtube's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.
Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

This sub does not allow toxic behavior, regardless if it's directed at a person, group of people, or company. Violations of this rule will result in a ban.

Duration is subject to mod discression. https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/wiki/index/rules - Sitewide Rules/Abuse Discussion

Advertising and Self Promotion, or asking for channel feedback is not allowed on the Subreddit. You will receive a permanent ban immediately. - No Spam
If there is a trending topic, we reserve the right to delete copycat posts that are just farming karma and not adding anything to the already existing discussion.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
