Where Can I Post AI Videos on Reddit Without Removal?

Nine boards, one table of survival

The counts below come from one collection pass over 2026 posts, in which every post was rule-matched for product or self-promotion signals — call those promo-mentioning posts — and each board's removals were split into platform and moderator actions versus author deletions. Author deletions are not counted as removals anywhere in this table, because taking your own post down is not the board rejecting it. The final row is the pooled figure for every board in the collection, not the sum of the rows above:

Two readings matter. First, the spread: the same kind of post that survives at one board gets removed at another, so "is the board friendly" beats "is my post promotional" as a question. Second, the baseline: in the same pass, posts that mentioned no product at all were removed at 22% — slightly above the pooled promo rate for product-mentioning posts. Product mentions do not, by themselves, raise your removal odds; the board and the format do.

What the rules actually require

The board rules captured in the corpus read like the difference between the top and bottom of the table. The showcase board that removes most product mentions publishes one of the most specific rule sets — part of it, verbatim:

must be longer than 10 seconds, no loops, only 1 video submission per day

self promotion and links only allowed in the comments of your own video

Both lines come from the corpus capture of a video-sharing board's submission guidelines, and together they explain its removal rate: promotion is permitted, but only in a prescribed shape — the title has to carry a name for the video and the tool used, the post has to be a real video, and the link lives in your own comment. Boards that remove less tend to ask for different things. The assisted-work board simply requires a heads-up before any self-promotion, in its own words:

Before you post any self-promotional material, please reach out to the mod, otherwise it will be considered spam

The professional video board routes feedback through a standing thread rather than the feed:

If you wish to post a video you have made for feedback or comments, please use the sticky feedback thread or it will be removed.

None of these are dress codes — they are format contracts.

The formats the surviving posts share

Read the surviving product-mentioning posts across the nine boards and the same three shapes keep appearing. The first is the build log: a creator documents a tool or a workflow they are making, shows the result, and answers questions in the comments. A long-running example on a showcase board is a film-crew beta devlog whose title names the video and the tool, with the promotional material kept to the comment section, per the rule quoted above. The second is the work itself, posted generously: a long cut with a real write-up underneath. A film thread on the playback-first board opens its post with the premise rather than the pitch —

What if the Roman Empire never fell and Earth was no longer enough?

— and then summarizes the film. That post is a release thread on a general film board, the kind of post the board's light rule set was designed to allow. The third shape is the data drop: a comparison table, a resource list, a real finding. The corpus's most-cited surviving self-promotions on the general AI board are exactly that — a hard table of what things cost, and a tool stack someone pruned down to what they kept, posted as a list with the reasoning attached.

Two habits cut across all three shapes. Link inside a body that stands on its own — a post whose entire value is a link dies on every board, and a short link-only post dies fastest on the video-only board, where the removal rate for low-information posts is the visible cost. And use the flair: several boards reject unflaired posts automatically, and the scary-content flair exists for a reason on the biggest showcase board.

Posting your own work without a pitch

When the thing you are posting is a SceneMixer output rather than a discussion, there are two ways to put it on a board, and they have different fingerprints. Downloading the episode gives you the master file — full quality, with the badge baked in unless a membership turned it off — and uploading the file natively is the shape boards that distrust external links prefer. Sharing gives a link instead: a real page with the video and a short explanation of how it was made, which the share guide covers in full. Know what that page is before you paste it: it is public and indexable by search engines, it has no expiry, and a video shared through it always shows the AI label, even on a paid plan. Treat a share link as publishing, not as a private hand-off — which is also the right mental model for the boards themselves, where the same link may be judged as a deliverable or as a redirect depending on the rules. The posting guide compares the platforms beyond Reddit.

One more line from the corpus is worth carrying into any board: the rules quoted above exist because moderators have seen the alternative. Where a board states its format for product posts, using that format is not compliance theater — it is the difference between the boards at the top of the survival table and the ones at the bottom.

Limitations: what this page cannot promise

• Removal counts are rule-matched estimates over one collection window, not moderator rulings. A post can be removed by Reddit's own spam systems, which no board rule describes.
• Board rules change without notice. The quotes here are the captured text; check the live sidebar before you post.
• This page describes what survived, not what is welcome. A surviving post can still be a bad post, and a removed one can occasionally be a good post on a bad day.
• Nothing here is posting advice for this site specifically — SceneMixer does not post to those boards on your behalf, and neither should you automate it.

FAQ

The counts and the method behind the table are documented on the method note; the same collection powers what the corpus says about making money and the audience side of it. If you are posting ads rather than shows, the format that survives feedback threads best is the one in how a UGC-style ad is built.
