No. Don’t Do That.
Do not promote your products in my comments.
Dear Reader,
While I am delighted that you offer me your eyeballs for a few moments out of your day, I have a favor to ask.
PLEASE.
The comments on Medium are not the place to promote your goods and services.
They are not a place to hijack my other readers (or anyone else’s) to get them to buy some gadget or hire some astrologer who SOLVED ALL YOUR LIFE’S PROBLEMS.
While I am happy for your enthusiasm for your magic Tarot Card reader, your magic green glop, your magic medical devices (I just looked that last one up, it’s ONLY just under a thousand bucks), you may not post that shit in my comments.
This is against the rules, it’s rude, and it disrespects all of us who write here, read here and hope in every possible way to avoid the social media and advertising sewage that is so prevalent everywhere else. Kindly, the best I can tell, it strikes me that this is a place that offers something of an oasis from that crap. When I can’t fill my gas tank without my orifices being invaded by ads, I am very happy to be able to contribute and read in a forum that is protected from that.
Medium is NOT everywhere else. And as such, kindly, and with respect, you may not pitch…
