Why the internet make it hard for people to self-promote - eviltoast

I understand that many people are spamming to promote, and that’s not okay. However, it’s possible to create dedicated threads or posts on social media every week for people to promote their websites, services, art, or anything else

    I’m not asking the question because I’m trying to promote things. I’m inquiring because I enjoy discovering new things. I’m not sure how competitive the tattoo industry is in the realm of social media and advertising, but when it comes to music, which is my primary interest, smaller musicians have to compete with the biggest musicians and labels in the world. While self-promotion is challenging and doesn’t guarantee that people will give the promoter a chance, at least it’s their choice, rather than systems and algorithms dictating what they should or shouldn’t see.

      Ah, what you’re looking for is MySpace. It’s original intention was exactly what you’re looking for, and since everyone moved to Facebook that’s what it’s reverted back to.
