Yeh I guess once reddit allows you to post videos it can be good. Also a few of my videos are about guitar playing so I posted on Ultimate Guitar forum and got a few hundred views from there. A lot of the views seem to just come from the Youtube algorithm unfortunately for small youtubers, so therefore i sometimes have to do spam-ish posts. At least they're not for some pyramid scheme to defraud your grandma is all the justification I need.
 
I have a love/hate relationship with reddit. I find their users and moderators to be very finicky about what can and cannot be posted to certain subreddits. For instance, the r/videos subreddit seems like a perfect place to post a video, right? But the videos often disappear from the new queue and the chance for the video actually being seen is pretty much gone by the time you get a response.

I have gotten lucky and had one of my videos do well in there, but I don't think it will happen again since r/videos is just far too strict.

I'm usually worried to post my videos in case they get deleted due to "self promotion" where I'm actually posting to help people or where it is relevant

I feel like in certain subreddits, they wouldn't mind, but with r/videos specifically, apparently you can't post any videos from the same channel, kinda regardless of how active you are on any subreddit. Meaning even if you are active in comments and such, you can't link videos from the same channel.
 
I've had some issues with reddit too in my limited experience. You definitely need to participate in the subreddits before posting otherwise the self promotion police are called in pretty swiftly
 
I was actually speaking with the moderator of r/videos and I discovered that your overall reddit account cannot have more than 10% of your posts come from one source if you wish to post in r/videos. So that's somewhat useful information if you want to step up your reddit game. :/

Pyramid scheme to defraud your grandma xD Honestly,I've never uploaded any videos to Reddit, but I have friends, and have heard around that it is very beneficial once you gain access to /videos. Like you said :3
