Before some months, i used reddit for some promotional purpose, and from what i experienced, the results were actually amazing, one of the reasons why promoting things on reddit is great :
1- the upvote/downvote system : thanks to the upvoting/downvoting system, your post can be ranked either in the top of the browsing list or the down of it, if you are good at writing and manage to write good with everything organized, then you're most likely to have your posts in the top always, which means it will reach more people, also that revokes the chance for trash posts to stay in the top .
2- posting cooldown : you can't spam posts in reddit, thanks to the 14 minutes cooldown, after certain posts, you will have to wait for the 14 minutes to expire before posting again .
3- kind of mature userbase : less chance to find kids that don't know anything about some domains, and more chance to find mature and grown people that interact with what you are posting .
4- strict punishements : if you are banned from a sub-reddit, you can still have the ability to browse it but not post in it, but if you get caught evading that ban, your account will be banned from the whole reddit .
5- not a popular platform for advertising : less competition and better chances for you .
However, there's a small con that i experienced, is that there are a lot of scam attempts that you should pay attention to, they are usually so obvious, but they can still be avoided easily .
