Using Reddit to grow YouTube (and vice versa) without getting banned

! Reddit communities often ban self-promotional YouTube links

+ ! YouTube cannot receive Reddit posts as content — video is required

+ ! Cross-promotion between the two requires community trust built first

+ ! YouTube community posts can share Reddit-style discussion, but it is a one-way street

= too much manual work

What You Need to Know

01

How YouTubers actually use Reddit to drive views

The effective approach: post genuine discussion threads in relevant subreddits about topics your videos cover.

Include your video only if the community explicitly allows it and if it directly answers a common question.

A post titled 'I spent 30 days testing X — here are the results' with the video in the comments performs better than a raw 'check out my new video' link post.

For the reverse workflow, subreddit discussions can become YouTube video topics — mine r/AskReddit or niche subreddits for questions that your audience is genuinely asking.

02

Making your Reddit posts work for YouTube discovery

Treat subreddit posts as standalone value, not teasers.

Give the full answer, the full opinion, the full story — then mention the video as additional context.

Communities where this works well: r/NewTubers for creator advice, niche topic subreddits where your video content matches exactly.

Avoid r/videos unless you have millions of subscribers.

On YouTube's end, add a Reddit community link in your channel description and encourage comments that could turn into subreddit threads.
