It’s really interesting to me the degree to which some people on here just sorta… don’t seem to know how most creatives operate online.

Seen multiple people assuming that if an account does promotion that might/must be ALL it does, which is like… Sure, that happens, but there’s generally a broad consensus that that behavior is a no-no and won’t attract people to what you’re doing. People like that tend to get shunned.

@dynamicsymmetry Yeah, like, heck, 99% of the time I'm posting about my dog or academics or video games or the weather, but when I had my IF project finally come out, I sure as heck did some promotion for that! With links!

...I should add a link to that to my profile, come to think of it. Maybe pin a post about it too.

@fade @dynamicsymmetry The irony to me is that most people don't do enough promotion. Like those cases where I don't find out someone has a Kickstarter relevant to my interests until week 3.
@fade @john_chu Right! Or people who follow authors for forever and somehow never notice that they’re authors with books for sale.
