Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
The written rules take no clear position, which is NOT permission: unclear communities enforce norms through removals instead of rulebooks. Sort by top, study which builder posts survived and how they were framed, and when in doubt ask the mods.
From the rules · The subreddit rules page appears to contain only site scripts/technical content and no clear posting rules—message the mods to confirm promotion rules.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
No usable rules or top-post examples are available on the community page. Post conservatively: short, factual titles; show the footage (preview or still), include technical details and license; avoid overt advertising or repeated links. If you plan to promote your own clips or site, message the moderators first.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/stockfootage's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
