n00b mistake - reddit

I am a Los Angeles-based food blogger, and dove into the YouTube world head first from a plane 56,000 miles in the air with no parachute.

I started my channel in November 2014, and previously had been using Reddit to promote my blog and other content with no problem. I attempted to do the same with my YouTube Channel, and therein lied the problem. My first 4-5 videos did great, being as small as I am. One of them has over 1,150 views. Since using Reddit as my primary traffic source was my ingenious (stupid) idea, I have been banned from the subreddit, and my last 4 videos have not cracked 100 views. That sort of bummed me out, I am not going to stop making videos but now I just need to find a way to get viewers and people interested. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Well there are some pretty good Google plus communities out there. You could share with your friends on Facebook or twitter. You could post in related forums, or collaborate with someone who s ml ready has an audience.
 
Yea, reddit is really s****y to content creators, for some reason. Sure, major corporations can vote-cheat their way to the front page, but an unknown just trying to share some OC gets banned immediately. Makes no sense, considering the only reason that site ever gained any traction was from content producers, but they don't give a s**t about that anymore...

I've found some success on some really small subreddits, but the major ones are a minefield of hatred, downvotes, and bans.

There aren't a lot of communities out there that will generate nearly the traffic you can potentially get on reddit if your posts do well, though...
 
Reddit is just stupid website, they just care for getting higher views and once they find your content is not getting views, they think you're promoting and then they ban! I never use that ugly website!
Yt Talk is best for making friends and getting noticed :D
