The Importance of Self Promotion

If you're like a Gen X person, you feel a kind of physical impulse to reject self promotion. But if you even are close to making a living at doing what you're doing, it's also wild. The model, the monetization model of the internet is built on as a complete shit show that sucks and is broken at its most fundamental level. And yet there are more people creating interesting works of fiction, nonfiction, art, non art than we've probably ever had in the history of the world. There's probably more like journalism being done than ever before.
