Respect her boundaries.)
Works well
- A genuine reaction or observation about a specific Drew Gooden video, written like a fan and not like a marketer
- A fan made piece of content that is clearly about Drew, such as art or a meme celebrating his videos
- A question or discussion starter about one of his videos that invites other fans to share their take
- A repost of someone else's fan content only with clear credit to the original maker
Avoid
- Dropping a link to your product or your own video, because “Don't Promote Other Creators” bans promoting your own content here
- Posting something loosely connected to Drew, like a video from a creator he has collabed with, because “Don't Post Off Topic” requires an obvious connection to Drew, his content, or the fandom
- Posting the same or a similar thing more than once, which “Don't Spam” forbids
- Posting about a topic someone already covered within the last two months, which “Don't Repost” forbids
- Asking for upvotes or trying to game the voting system, which “Don't Break Reddit's Content Policy” forbids
- Sharing someone else's content without crediting them, which “Don't Break Reddit's Content Policy” forbids too
What r/DrewGooden Is For
This is the fan subreddit for Drew Gooden, a YouTube creator. The description is short and confident, saying he is the only one that makes videos and this is the first and only subreddit. The people here are fans of Drew and his videos, so the whole room exists to talk about him, his content, and the fandom around it. That focus is written straight into the rules. A post has to be obviously related to Drew, his content, or the fandom, or it does not belong here. Posts that are only about other creators Drew knows are also off topic, even if those creators feel adjacent to the community.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides almost everything here is “Don't Post Off Topic”, because it requires that a post is obviously related to Drew, his content, or the fandom, and it specifically bans posts that are exclusively about other creators Drew knows. “Don't Promote Other Creators” is the hard stop for marketers, since it bans using this subreddit to promote your own content or the content of other creators. “Don't Spam” bans posting or commenting the same thing, or similar things, more than once. “Don't Repost” bans posting something another user already posted about, with a two month waiting period before it is allowed again. “Don't Be Mean” bans harassment and bigoted behavior, with a week long ban for a first offense and a permanent ban for a second. “Don't Disrespect Drew” bans content that harms his privacy, humanity, or reputation. “Don't Break Reddit's Content Policy” adds bans on begging for upvotes, reposting original content without credit, and unmarked sexually explicit posts. Finally, “Don't Post Banned Content” bans a short list of specific things, including the white-faced Obama edit, porn, and jokes or references to Amanda being missing or dead in Afghanistan.
What To Post
Here is the honest part. This is not a community where a founder can market anything. “Don't Promote Other Creators” bans promoting your own content here, so a product link, a launch post, or a plug for your channel is out. What a founder can do is participate like a fan. A good post is obviously about Drew, his content, or the fandom. That could be a genuine reaction to one of his videos, a thoughtful observation about his style, or a fan made thing that celebrates his work. If you share content someone else made, credit the original maker. If a topic has already been posted, wait at least two months before posting about it again. The realistic play here is to be a real member of the audience first and let your name do the quiet work, not to post as a marketer at all.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is to promote anything, because “Don't Promote Other Creators” covers your own content as well as other creators' content. A link drop, a launch announcement, or a video plug all fall under it. Off topic posts get removed too, so a post about a creator Drew has worked with, rather than about Drew himself, is out. Do not post the same or similar things more than once, and check that nobody has posted your topic in the last two months before you post. Do not ask for upvotes or try to game the voting system. Do not repost someone else's content without crediting the original maker. Do not be mean, do not disrespect Drew or his privacy, and never make jokes or references to Amanda being missing or dead in Afghanistan, because the rules say that makes her uncomfortable and it only worked in the context of the video.
