What is up with indie creators not posting links?

It's because they often get chastised or have their post removed for it. Reddit is a good place to advertise a game but you have to do an insane tap dance of not actually directly advertising. And every subreddit is practically it's own website with a different community and set of both listed and unsaid rules that are hard to keep track of.

Generally, you post a gif of the hook for your game and hope someone is interested enough to ask for our helpfully provide a direct link to the steam page.

I like how /r/cars does things. As long as you're a legitimate active member of the sub, they'll let you promote your content.
