If success is posting stupid click bait questions on twitter, then yes, I refuse to do that.

I’m not a clown or an entertainer. I share my journey and provide value to people. The people who are drawn to click bait content, are not the people I want to interact with.

I feel with you, but don't delude yourself in to avoiding any kind of marketing. Marketing is an evil necessity, especially if you are starting from scratch by yourself. That's just the nature of our reality. To scoff and say you're content is an ego-fuelled move, one that pushes the problem off for later.

Don't do that to yourself. Learn to market ethically at least, or else it's a real waste of time as your next startup fails because you avoided marketing.

Never said I’m against marketing. I’m just against click bait and low effort content to draw attention / beat the algorithm

> Marketing is an evil necessity

Why are you labeling it as "evil"?

You are framing marketing activity as click baiting and being a clown.

This is not a matter of fact. It's an emotional projection stemming from refusing to succeed.

Martyr syndrome.

If we are talking about syndromes, then I think you might have a Stockholm syndrome.

On a more serious note, marketing is an umbrella term. There is clever marketing out there. It’s, however, rare. Most of the marketing is trash in a form of click baiting and being a morale-less clown. And the saddest part, is that it works. That’s why algorithms reward it.
