r/digital_marketing
Guides that list marketing subreddits describe r/digital_marketing as more tactical than the general marketing community: people ask which scheduler, CRM or site builder to pick, how to report results when attribution is messy, and whether a course is worth paying for. What we could not find is any third-party account of its self-promotion or link rules, so treat them as unknown and read the sidebar yourself before a product name appears in a reply. When a tool question comes up, a short comparison helps more than a recommendation: say who each option suits and where it falls short, and disclose any affiliation inline. Newcomer threads about breaking into the field rarely need a vendor, and threads already crowded with sellers need one less.
