Honestly, I'm pretty over the reddit contribution rules. The rules are oriented at people who post links all day, and incredibly unfriendly to casual users, or people who generate OC.
Ex, many of them ask for a 90/10 other/self-promotion ratio. Well, I don't surf reddit and submit links all day, so I violated this in /programming by posting two self-posts (in a year) about OSS side projects I've worked on, and got shadowbanned. They weren't monetized at all, they were describing completely OSS personal projects (exploring d3.js and other graphics libraries).
If that's not what reddit wants... then I don't care what reddit wants. I'll use burner accounts and post like a normal human being, and if they get banned... I'll make new ones.
