I've found reddit harder and harder to actually meaningfully post your blog anywhere, unless your post is a technical/programming blog post (in which case /r/programming and /r/$lang work ok), especially if your audience for said post is other founders e.g. a post about bootstrapping. Most subreddits block self-promotion of any kind due to I assume spam and low-quality blog spam. I've written a lot about business over the years, but reddit hasn't read much of it -- just my technical posts, really.

Do you have any thoughts on this issue? I used to use a reddit scheduler quite a lot, but nowadays not so much due to the above.

I think you should focus on telling a story, your story, each of us has one. Starting from this, analyzes the style of the posts that perform better, use postonreddit to find the best moments to post and here is the game. I assure you that many new users will arrive
I'm going to be candid here: this doesn't really answer my question and just seems like you telling me to try your product. If you're going to sell a tool for marketing on reddit, you should know or learn how to market on reddit so that you can help your users.
