Posts that appear overly promotional or lack effort often receive downvotes.

Brand engagement notes

Brands should approach this community with caution, as members are often skeptical of overt promotion.

Collaborations with artists or sponsoring art-related events may be more accepted than direct advertising. Brands should focus on building relationships and contributing to discussions rather than self-promotion to gain trust and credibility.
