Got banned arbitrary from reddit subs speaking of my app...

Hi everyone, here is a story that might interest some of you. Few time ago I join a reddit community that is linked to one of my app niche. I spend time asking people about their experience, sharing some posts about this hobbie (which is also one of mine), and of course saying from time to time in my posts "by the way guys I publish an app that helps to to this and that for our common passion". It was clearly everything but spam ! And I got Perma banned from this community with no ability to share anymore there. I found this particularly unfair and like it was "little power abuse" from the mod who did this behind its computer. Here is the explanation I had from one of the mod "I think you got banned because the intent of this place is a but altruistic. Folks with a hobby helping each other and sharing experience" == my feeling :

This app makes no money for now so it's as altruistic as it could be regarding the time I am spending on it 😂😂
It's my hobby and by trying to put a nice app for this community I am contributing to it with one of my talent (asking few bucks for this doesn't remove my nice intent)
And dammed my post were sharing some nice experience of mine, not only linked to my app on this community !

Being treated like we would be uge corporation with "evil marketing strategies" is so caricatural and completely mistaken from this kind of guys. Most of us are just nice buddies trying to do something nice for something we love. And let's be honest

@Aivars Meijers

manage to make nice income with his apps😉😉👍👍 but most of us are just gathering few bucks from that. At least from my side I am not Google 😂😂

What does this story inspire you ? Have you ever experienced something similar? And please guys take my side 😂😂😂 Cheers to you all !
