But the fact that you feel like you’re an ad suggests that maybe you’re doing it too often.
It’s not that I feel like that, as I don’t talk much about these things, and I don’t because even the little I might sometimes feels that way. It’s more of a conflicted feeling than feeling outright like an ad, as in that it can come across as promotional even if it may simply be talking about a good experience.
I feel less conflicted about talking up community-built things than business-built things, since the former can use the attention and typically lacks any sort of marketing or other means of promoting themselves. Businesses don’t need any more of either given they often literally have marketing divisions or can afford to hire marketing firms.
