<human>: Let's crowdsource some ethics:

So, I've been a lurker here for years and actually had an account for a while that I recently closed for fear of all my r/gonewild & r/nsfw history being discovered.

I recently opened this non-throwaway account, and I've mostly been posting links from my website so far. I'm not making any money from the site, but I do have a bunch of loyal followers who check my stuff regularly (the site is in the [Alexa top 25,000] for the USA).

I use my site (especially the blog) as an information hub for sharing what I think is interesting, or what I think is likely relevant to my community. It's usually my first instinct to host or embed found content on my site, and *after* that I'll remember to post it on Reddit.

Just to be absolutely clear: **I do not make ad money from my website**. I am not a blogspammer.

That said, I could use your help so no one feels abused by my postings going forward (which hasn't happened yet, and I want to keep it that way). My honest love of Reddit has made me a neurotic mess about this. I feel like Reddit and I think pretty similarly, probably because I'm in the 25 year old, liberal, recent college graduate demographic that finds this place so important.

I'm trying to learn a best practice here, so can we get a consensus? If I regularly submit links from my non-money-making website (like I did here: [here] where I can contextualize and editorialize the content a bit, is that a no-no because it's *my* site?

Thanks.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I post stuff to my personal website before I post it to Reddit, and I'm afraid of pissing you guys off when I submit that link.
