The 2026 Reddit campaign was an attempt by Abdel Seoud to sell Dad, Look – I Wrote A Book! by making "something for every subreddit I follow".[1] The campaign was documented live by the author at the Reddit Hate Tracker.
Posts[edit]

| r/codes | A cipher | Cracked in under an hour. Called "boring". |
| r/neocities | A retro shrine | 57% downvotes. Accused of AI. |
| r/ChatGPT | A screenshot | 85% downvotes. Not a single comment. |
| r/SaaS | Inventory Management | Enterprise-grade |
| r/masterhacker | Hacker Terminal | No ebooks downloaded |
Criticism[edit]
The most common criticism was "It's an ad" (6 recorded cases), followed by "It's AI" (5). One reader said "I dont care about your book".[2] Thirty readers expressed themselves through silent downvotes.
Aftermath[edit]
The author was banned from several subreddits, which do not allow promotion.[citation needed] The campaign moved to Threads, where the author continues to build websites.
