I've gone viral on Reddit

hey everyone

Someone told me about a cool sub (InternetIsBeautiful) where you can post without getting kicked for self promotion - which happens to me a lot!

Had 21,000 hits so far.

So if you have a blog or something other than a SAAS I guess, I recommend posting here!

    I've tried there too but was removed, although the post seemed to it's the theme.

    Seems like they got to you too

    Interesting. Reddit removed the post, but you can still see all the comments people left.

    Also, there's still a link to nocsdegree.com.

    Looks like Reddit just hid it, rather that hard-delete it?

    Regardless, looks like you got some good engagement on the post before they slapped you down -- congrats.

      Update: 5 hours later, the post has over 2200+ upvotes! It's bringing in way more traffic than when this was on the front page of HN at #4!

    3K upvotes, and apparently the reddit mods didn't like it no more :)
    But I guess you achieved what you wanted :)

        Congrats Pete :). Not sure, but was it my story about Scale?
