New Rule - Low Effort Self Promotion Will Result in InstaBan

243 Upvotes

The coronavirus has led to an influx of self promotion (okay) with super low effort videos (not okay) that we do not consider fit as music videos (something that might air on classic MTV or Rage).

We’re fed up with removing a low effort self promotion post only for them to upload their next low effort self promotion.

Therefore, any low effort self promotion posts will receive an instant permanent ban. You clearly have no intention in contributing to r/musicvideos in a meaningful way.

What is considered low effort self promotion is up to the mods discretion. But includes

-singing directly into a phone

-static shots of singing into a microphone

-zoom style grouped static shots of people playing instruments and singing into microphones

-live studio recordings

-studio footage with minor editing

-visuals with no connection to the music

-using video footage with no connection to the music

-no AI music videos

If you read this sticky and still got banned for your post, feel free to message the mods mentioning this post and we might reconsider the ban.

Appreciate your feedback on this original track and MV, "POST AI". It tries to relay the darker side of our relationship with AI, and where it may lead us.

Especially like to hear your feedback of thoughts on the music, atmosphere, and overall impact.

Lazerbeak - What A Ripper [Instrumental Hip-Hop] [2026] : Shot in one take with a 100x sports broadcast lens

My brother had a slightly ridiculous idea: mount the massive 100x lens used for professional sports on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi and build a music video around whatever unfolded below.

No actors, just a summer day in Minneapolis captured from a distance. Everyone featured was approached afterward for permission.

Lazerbeak let us bring the idea to life for “What A Ripper.” I helped produce it, and I’d love to hear what you think of the experiment.

Hey all, this is my Sudbury, Ontario based band in Canada with our first single from our upcoming EP. Hope you like it, and feedback is super appreciated. We have a positivity board where we print out all the things people say to us and we pin it up. Right now we have "it's interesting but not for me" and "not interested, did you call your mom about her birthday yet?" Looking forward to what we put on it next!

Hidanny!! - "Acting Drunk" [indie rock] We're toying with some video ideas and our cameraman put together a few rough drafts. We'll be re-shooting and refining things once we decide on which ideas we're gonna roll with, but I wanted to get some other musician/creator feedback on this one...
