Subreddit Rules
- Self-Promotion or Link Drops: Posts or comments whose primary purpose is driving traffic to your site, app, newsletter, YouTube channel, course, or Discord
- No linking your own product as a "resource" in someone else's thread, or Affiliate Links of any kind.
- 2: Minimum Effort Required: Every post must demonstrate that you've done some thinking before asking the community to do thinking for you. Auto-remove triggers:
- Posts under 150 words (excluding flair-specific templates) Posts with no body text (title-only) "What business should I start?" without specific constraints, skills, or context "Is this a good idea?" with a one-sentence description
- The test: Could a stranger give you useful, specific feedback based on what you wrote? If not, it's too vague.
- 3: Use the Right Flair: Posting templates are recommended. You don't have to follow it rigidly, but your post must cover the key elements. Posts without flairs or with obviously wrong flairs will be removed and you'll be asked to repost.
- 4: Constructive Feedback Only: What's not allowed:
- "This will never work" without explaining why Personal attacks on the poster "Just Google it" or similarly dismissive responses Sarcasm as a substitute for critique
- What IS expected:
- If you think an idea is flawed, explain the specific flaw (market size, unit economics, competitive moat, customer acquisition, etc.) If you have experience that's relevant, share it Ask clarifying questions before dismissing
- "Idea Guy Looking for a Developer" Posts: This is not a co-founder matching sub. Posts that are essentially "I have an idea, who wants to build it for equity" will be removed. If you're looking for a co-founder, try r/cofounder or similar subs. You CAN discuss the challenge of finding technical co-founders, building without code, etc. as a topic.
- Surveys or Research Requests Without Mod Approval: Academic researchers, students, and market researchers must message the mods before posting surveys. We'll approve legitimate ones and flair them appropriately. Unapproved surveys will be removed.
- 7: Disclose Your Position: If you have a financial interest in something you're discussing (you work there, you're an investor, you sell a competing product), disclose it. Failure to disclose = permanent ban.
- 8: English Only, No AI-Generated Posts: Posts must be in English. Posts that are clearly generated wholesale by ChatGPT/Claude/etc. with no human editing or original thought will be removed. Using AI as a tool to help structure your thinking is fine...having it think for you is not.
