The ban problem is real, but the reason those subs ban self-promo is that unmoderated feedback spaces fill up with people posting and nobody reading. A room where everyone wants eyeballs and nobody's giving them is its own kind of dead. What forces the reading side here, is there anything a builder has to give before they can ask?

I think they agree:

> X/Twitter: tweet into the void, get 2 likes from bots

Anyway, I think this part is too optimistic:

> Your audience comes to rate YOU, but while they’re there they discover and rate other products too.

It's quite similar to what Product Hunt tries to do, but growing the community is hard.
