Reddit requires manual labor by either putting the work in yourself or hiring someone to do it for you. That said, it can be an incredibly valuable platform for driving traffic.

Without going into a lot of unnecessary detail, Reddit has a built-in automatic moderation system that's really, really good at identifying and kicking spam. In this case that would be content that's coming from a bot. The auto mod system can be (and is) further configured and fine tuned by individual subreddits. On top of that, there's a manual component that consists of dedicated moderators manually reviewing posts and users who will report posts that don't meet a subreddit's criteria or violate that sub's rules.

Creating your own subreddit isn't a shortcut. Your content needs to be positioned to find consumers not the other way around. It needs to be presented in a way that's easily consumable by using preferred formats (GIFs, short, Reddit-friendly video clips and galleries) and hosted on platforms that meet individual subreddit posting guidelines. Once you're able to accomplish that, traffic can and will organically flow to your subreddit if you've set one up and/or directly to your site to convert to a sale.

There's so much more that's involved in the process outside of what I outlined but that's a rough idea of things to be considered if you are looking to make any sort of headway on there.
