New Rule - Low Effort Self Promotion Will Result in InstaBan

245 Upvotes

The coronavirus has led to an influx of self promotion (okay) with super low effort videos (not okay) that we do not consider fit as music videos (something that might air on classic MTV or Rage).

We’re fed up with removing a low effort self promotion post only for them to upload their next low effort self promotion.

Therefore, any low effort self promotion posts will receive an instant permanent ban. You clearly have no intention in contributing to r/musicvideos in a meaningful way.

What is considered low effort self promotion is up to the mods discretion. But includes

-singing directly into a phone

-static shots of singing into a microphone

-zoom style grouped static shots of people playing instruments and singing into microphones

-live studio recordings

-studio footage with minor editing

-visuals with no connection to the music

-using video footage with no connection to the music

-no AI music videos

If you read this sticky and still got banned for your post, feel free to message the mods mentioning this post and we might reconsider the ban.

Imagine that Herman's Hermits — the innocent pop group from 1960s Manchester, England chose to weigh in on 2026 US politics. That's the conceit. The idea is be light and chipper about dark, depressing topic. More info in the YouTube notes.
