I just wanted to say that all of this totally went through my head when I made my initial comment and was like "...ugh, I'm too tired to actually expand on that. I'll just leave it at 'Then again, she has a sizeable following with her art, so I imagine that helps funnel in readers.'" And then you read my mind and you are amazing for articulating all these nuances 💕
I swear 2012 was such a pinnacle year for internet content in that it shaped the futures of a lot of people. And it's frustrating when I think back on stuff like that and can only feel that if I had more of my shit together, maybe I'd have even a fraction of that awesomeness. It's borderline nauseating what a Twitter following like that can do to promote your work. Quality and quantity are no longer a factor in terms of what you produce; hits and views mean so much more and I honestly hate it.
Self-promotion is a bag of dicks and I hate how it's mandatory these days for just about anything :\
