Hubski's a little different because people who use hubski to promote themselves either also participate enough that you know them and want to see that they've done, or don't and you have to opt in to hear from them directly. We probably use different subreddits, but usually I only ever see people on Reddit get annoyed when someone is obviously just trying to sell them something. "Look at this cool thing I made which is appropriate to this subreddit" posts tend to be pretty popular.
