Reddit is cracking down hard, and if you use the platform to grow your audience or promote your work, you must be prepared. Shadowbans, account suspensions, and mass deletions are happening more often than ever—even to users who follow all the rules.

In this episode of Creator’s Spicy Tea, we’re covering:

✅ Reddit is increasingly shadow banning accounts without warning.

✅ Many creators are affected, even those following all rules.

✅ Shadow bans can make accounts invisible without notification.

✅ Checking for a shadow ban requires using Reddit's official appeals page.

✅ Creators should have multiple accounts to safeguard their presence.

✅ Posting strategies can help avoid shadow bans on new accounts.

✅ Engagement and community building are crucial for account health.

✅ Diversifying traffic sources is essential for online business stability.

✅ Planning ahead can mitigate the impact of sudden account issues.

If you rely on Reddit for traffic, this is a must-watch. Hope isn’t a strategy—having a plan is.
