Title: Reddit activity... please help
Post by: bitmarket on November 30, 2014, 01:26:51 am
Hey gangsters,

So I have a bunch of videos coming out in the next 3 weeks. I have shown them to the marketing team only and all agree they are sweet.

So why am I telling you this?

The videos will work if they get views. They will get views if the videos are voted to the top of /r/bitcoin.

Last time you voted a video of mine to reddit front page we got that bump in signups on Sept 18.
Check it out

We will get a much better bump this time around though.

In order for your votes to count you have to have good reddit "karma".  So what I am asking is for you to interact with reddit this week. Vote on stuff. Comment on stuff.  This will give you reddit karma.  Then when I release the vids you can vote them up should you think they are worthy and your votes will count.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Reddit's ranking algo weights votes logarithmically, which means the first 10 votes matter much more than subsequent votes.

Whenever you make a reddit post, you should immediately post in the reddit upvote thread and into the BTS skype groups.

Cool.

Do we still have the initial hurdle of needing to post here to set-up/signup a new account?

I will vote, but I'm not a power user. Let us know when you post it. :)

What is the faucet supposed to do.  On chrome and Firefox, it just loads a blank page for me.

Be careful with overtly calling for thread upvotes, since it's against reddit's terms of service. I've witnessed accounts getting banned for this, even where the origin is a site other than reddit.

See here,

Don't ask other users to vote on certain posts, either on reddit itself or anywhere else (through Twitter, Facebook, IM programs, IRC, etc.)


It's a fine line, drawing attention to interesting posts is fine, calling for upvotes isn't.
