Can you promote in r/twitch?

Strict: this community removes promotional content on sight. Contribute value only; pitching here risks removal and a subreddit ban.

r/Twitch is a pragmatic, peer-support community focused on solving real streaming problems—technical bugs, moderation challenges, and strategy decisions. Mods strictly enforce no self-promotion and channel advertising, and the community rewards detailed troubleshooting, honest experiences, and tools that genuinely help others. Low tolerance for lazy posts, duplicates, or clout-chasing; high tolerance for vulnerability and learning from mistakes.

• DO search before posting — this community is tired of duplicate questions
• DO ask specific, detailed troubleshooting questions with context
• DO share your learning and experiences; peers respect authenticity
• DO contribute tool/resource posts that solve real problems, not just self-promotion
• DON'T post channel links, follow-for-follow requests, or generic growth hacks
• DON'T promote discovery services without demonstrating genuine value
• DON'T ask vague questions like 'how do I grow' without showing effort
• DON'T spam the same issue multiple times
