Delete-and-repost vs. editing a struggling post

Delete-and-repost vs. editing a struggling post
This week on Reddit marketing: a post flops in its first hour — fix it or relaunch it.

— [Tactic] Editing the title is impossible on Reddit, so a weak title leaves delete-and-repost as the only real fix — but reposting too soon can trip spam filters.
— [Tactic] Editing the body adds value to a post that already has traction; it won't rescue one the algorithm has already buried.
— [Case] r/TheoryOfReddit notes reposts to the same sub within 24 hours often get auto-flagged, so wait or pick a sibling sub.
— [Rule-change] Some subs explicitly ban reposting within a window; check before you delete a post that still has a pulse.

Editor's pick: only delete-and-repost for a broken title, and never inside the sub's repost-cooldown window.
