So Reddit would be a very good back link then

Quite possibly. Google Search Console certainly shows a lot of backlinks from Reddit. Whether they do any good who knows? I have always assumed where backlinks are concerned it could be more about quality than quantity.

I have a list of places to do a backlink for each article and seems to have worked for me. Although I have just been banned out of the blue from Quora after writing a piece with a link in. Something I've done before with no issues. Not even a warning - just suddenly banned. Wrote to appeal it and zero response.

Not necessarily.

If your article gets linked and discussed on reddit, googling even for the exact article title is very likely to return the Reddit thread. Talk about irony - and (shady) deals.

Edit:

I got banned from Quora too - LOL.

Glad I'm not the only one. It was very rude - big red sign saying you are banned. I'd been posting on there for years. A bot moderator I think. Not even a polite warning.

Yes I had noticed that about Reddit coming up even if mentioning your info - however it still added to bumping the article or video up the ranks a bit. And you can't edit Reddit titles either. I did contact them to remove one that had a title that wasn't helpful to my site and they just said it can't be done - you can only edit the post. So I did that and the first line showing now contradicts the title - but I'd like it changing. The subredit agreed to delete the post and then found they couldn't. Reddit admin seemed to be of the view it can't be done.
