Posting on reddit is great for traffic, awful for conversions, especially if you are posting something you are asking people to pay for. Redditors will happily check out any new free tool, but will ignore, block, and delete content that is either directly or indirectly asking for money.

This is the point. You don't have to ask for money, you don't have to ask you to subscribe to your app, you just have to tell your story, the story of how you created your app, make people interested in your project. Reddit must serve to collect not money, those will come alone later.
