Reddit is cracking down hard, and if you use the platform to grow your audience or promote your work, you must be prepared. Shadowbans, account suspensions, and mass deletions are happening more often than ever—even to users who follow all the rules.

In this episode of Creator’s Spicy Tea, we’re covering:

✅ Reddit is increasingly shadow banning accounts without warning.

✅ Many creators are affected, even those following all rules.

✅ Shadow bans can make accounts invisible without notification.

✅ Checking for a shadow ban requires using Reddit's official appeals page.

✅ Creators should have multiple accounts to safeguard their presence.

✅ Posting strategies can help avoid shadow bans on new accounts.

✅ Engagement and community building are crucial for account health.

✅ Diversifying traffic sources is essential for online business stability.

✅ Planning ahead can mitigate the impact of sudden account issues.

If you rely on Reddit for traffic, this is a must-watch. Hope isn’t a strategy—having a plan is.

In this episode of the Creators Spicy Tea podcast, we are sitting down together to discuss the intricacies of adult content creation on Fansly, with guest speaker TheLovelyKacy. Hang out with us while Kacy shares her journey from SFW but slightly flirty Twitch streaming, to becoming a full blown adult content creator on Fansly. We explore the importance of community, boundaries, and mental health in the industry, as well as strategies for engagement and success on platforms like Fansly and OnlyFans. 

While I like to think I have a fairly good handle on the adult content industry, I will be the first one to say I do not know everything there is to know. And one of my big blind spots is Fansly. The wisdom of the crowd is always greater than the wisdom of the individual, so that is why Kacy, who has been on the platform for a year and vacillates between top one to top 3% of creators, is joining us today!

We also discussed two very important pieces of business, one from me regarding Creators Spicy Tea’s upcoming temporary changes, and one very exciting one from Kacy!

Key Takeaways

• The adult content creation landscape is vast and ever-evolving.

• Fansly offers unique features that cater to creators' needs.

• Building a personal brand is essential for success in adult content.

• Establishing boundaries is crucial to protect creators' mental health.

• Engagement strategies can significantly impact a creator's success.

• Mental health should always come first in content creation.

• Community support is vital in the adult content industry.

• Utilizing analytics can help creators optimize their content.

• Consistency in posting is key, but self-care is paramount.
