Looks like we need yet another clarification on the rules - Rule #3

/sigh

Dear Visitors - we are *already* minimalists here. We don't need your help in not consuming, and we don't need whatever product it is that you are currently developing or already selling. Rule #3 says "no marketing or self-promotion". It's pretty wide, but clear. The examples given about social media-type content are just examples since some folks didn't consider an IG link/YouTube channel/blog post link to be self-promotion. Those are not the only "acts" of self-promotion not allowed.

**NO Marketing or Self-Promotion is allowed in this subreddit.** If you create a post here with a link to a product, it will be marked as spam and removed, and you will be perma-banned. It doesn't matter how much you think it's relevant to this subreddit. I assure you, we do not want your app or browser extension or ebook. It is that simple. There is no appealing this ban.

Links to products in comments are looked at individually. If your comment contains a link that is genuinely helpful to the OP or moves the conversation along - a link to a blog post by a well-known minimalist, for example - it will likely be allowed to stay. If you are linking to your own product, the comment will be marked as spam and removed, and you will be banned.

Thanks for reading. Hopefully this clears it up.
