<human>: Hey guys,

I submitted a link to a video I made to a small subreddit and it got upvoted to the top.   I figured "Okay, maybe this would appeal to a wider audience then".

So I went up to another, larger subreddit.   Posted, and again, it was upvoted to the top by quite a way.   This gave me the impression it was relevant to an even wider audience.   I wondered if it was okay to post it again, but the rediquette says:

> "Feel free to post something again if you feel that the earlier posting didn't get the attention it deserved and you think you can do better."   

So I did.

I posted it to r/videos, and it got upvoted to near the top, then I noticed it on the front page and climbing - I was obviously frickin' excited, but then all of a sudden one of my refreshes showed me it wasn't there any more.

I contacted a mod asking what happened and they explained that because the majority of the links I submit are from my own YouTube channel, it was removed as potential spam.   

I've always tried to submit links to relevant subreddits, and the majority were upvoted.   I wouldn't say I do it anywhere near often enough to be a spammer.

If I had been dishonest and posted the link under a fake account, I would have been fine.   However, since I was honest and kept it to the one reddit account, it was removed.   

So yeah - does it really matter who submitted the content if the community likes it?   Is there an upside to having obviously relevant content removed if previously submitted content is also made by the submitter?   I can't think of one - maybe you can enlighten me.

I'm not complaining here, just pointing out where I think there might be an unnecessary rule that removes perfectly good content. 

Cheers guys.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I submitted a link to a video I made that got upvoted to the front page, and since I submit all my vids with same account and didn't use a throwaway, it got taken down.   Fair?
