The mod team has decided that YouTube links & crossposts will no longer be allowed on the sub.
There is just so much promotional YouTube spam and it's drowning out the actual motivational content. Auto-moderator will now remove any YouTube links that are posted. They are usually self-promotion and/or spam and do not contribute to the theme of r/GetMotivated
Crossposts are banned for the reason being that they are seen as very low effort, used by karma farming accounts, and encourage spam, as any time some motivational post is posted on another sub, this sub can get inundated with crossposts.
So, crossposts and YouTube links are now officially banned from r/GetMotivated
However, We encourage you to Upload your motivational videos directly to the subreddit, using Reddit's video posting tool. You can upload up to 15-minute videos as MP4s this way.
Thanks, Stay Motivated!

I greatly welcome this
Spammers ruin everything. Lets keep it inside the club anyways
Agreed
Can we revise the rules around posting links?
Ironically, there’s a repost up that was posted by a karma-farming account, but when I try to post a link of the original in the comments, the automod deletes my comment claiming it’s a crosspost.
How do I post longer videos? I was about to post an old Tony Robbins video from 1989 that is really good, but it is 18 minutes long.
Damn you mean I can’t post my low quality youtube video to get views?!?!?!!

Crossposting is lazy !
Oh poo, and I found a great video from someone else I thought might have helped some folks.
Is there a “Get advance approval from the mod team” exception available?

Probably the best decision ever made in this community 😀
why does linking to somebody’s profile in the comments count as a crosspost?
