Avoid Surveys and Self-promotion
No solicitation of referrals, posting your own blog/video channel/personal website/product/service/tool, surveys to gather data/feedback, and recommendations for users to do business with you. Surveys asking users what they would do in specific circumstances, OR about their personal circumstances, are prohibited. Posts that appear to elicit others' responses that aren't related to your own personal finances will be removed. Do not PM users because of comments they made on this subreddit.

All of Reddit's platform-wide rules apply

What the written rules don't show

Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.

Let your AI read the rules before it posts.

ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
