This is a question I have been grappling with a lot.
I would genuinely appreciate your thoughts on this matter; when putting ourselves out there we do put out a bit of ourselves, and I'm just thinking, I don't want us to get burnt...

I completely agree with your take-away on that one. The bit about scattering seeds really resonated. I think there is a "human" level of marketing that makes sense, feels do-able and honest. I like to hope that those seeds will reach the people who would most genuinely enjoy our work and skip over the extra people who won't really resonate with our work. Maybe if everyone marketed a little less... haha...
I agree, there is a huge bombardment of marketing, and the pressure is on to keep posting or lose followers. It feels like a zero sum game a lot of the time.
I'm kinda glad for this site because it draws you away from the optics and has you focus on the thing you're writing or making, at least when glancing at your posts, but yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if this constant enforced need to market things has been the cause of trauma in some people...
