About r/Mediabuying
Smaller and more technical than the larger affiliate subreddit. The framing is paid media buying in general — Facebook Ads, Google Ads, DSP-side work — rather than affiliate specifically, which means the conversation assumes you already know what a CPA goal is and how attribution windows work.
Topical concentration: platform changes, account suspensions, attribution shifts and policy updates draw the most engagement. When Meta or Google rolls out a change, this is where you see real working buyers comparing notes on how their accounts reacted. Affiliate is a use case within paid media here, not the framing.
Etiquette mirrors Reddit defaults but with a tighter community: the regulars recognise each other and the moderation pushes for substantive replies. Low-effort questions get removed or directed to a weekly thread. Self-promotion is functionally banned.
A useful daily skim for anyone running paid traffic — affiliate-side or otherwise. Smaller volume than the big boards but proportionally higher signal, especially in the days after a major ad-platform change.
