Can you promote in r/whatcarshouldibuy?
Car model advice and general buying discussion.
The short answer
Do not promote or mention your product/company in public replies; instead provide neutral, helpful buying advice without links and consider private outreach only if a user explicitly asks for vendor help (and check rules first).
What works here
- Answer car-buying questions with impartial advice
- Share personal experience and recommendations about models
- Point users to general resources (non-commercial) relevant to buying decisions
What gets posts removed
- Advertising products, services, or company links
- Soliciting customers, leads, surveys, or recruitment
- Posting commercial offers or self-promotional updates
